  • I've been running The MAGURA MT TRAIL SPORTS for about a year - maybe more - and have really enjoyed them. In this review, we take a look at what you get, what I don't like about them and what you can expect.
    Through the time I've have these brakes on, I have had no issues with them. they have worked flawlessly the entire time. Have sufficient power for what I want them to do and have a great feel. I have been really happy with the purchase.
    The only niggle is the rather faffy pad installation process. The magnetic pad retention system relates to a rather over irritating pad swap. But fortunately this is something that only needs to be done periodically... If you are running the Performance pads - like me - It's a job that will be done every 6 to 8 months.
    Modulation on the Magura MT Trail Sports is a lot better than the Magura MT5 or MT5/MT4 combination sets. And it is reported to be as good as the Magura MT8 sets. The Magura MT Trail Sports also have wonderful levers! really nice quality and feel.
    HAPPY with them...
    So... I hope you enjoy the show.

    I use MT Trail for more than 1 year on my hardcore hardtail and they work perfect. I would say that this is perfect brakes for aggressive hardtail as you don't need a lot of stopping power for your rear wheel but you need good modulation for better control.

    Thank you for the great review. These brakes came on my hardtail. I wanted to like these brakes. My 4 pot front would never dial in. It was noisy with modulation issues. My mechanic worked on it as did I. Finally got the rear dialed in but the front was never smooth and quiet. Busted my rear brake lever in a bad crash and changed to Shimano XT.

    • @TrailTales
      @TrailTales  Рік тому

      I have noticed that the Trail Sports (and Magura in general I believe)do behave differently with differnt disk rotors... My brothers set "shudder" a bit due to the rotor he has, and my current front rotor has a different feel to the old rotor I needed to replace (old one got bent when I travelled with my bike in the summer)... So that could have been the difference in experience... Just a though...

    Had these on my hardtail for 18months now - awesome. Had to downgrade my rear rotor from 180 to 160, to stop it instantly licking up, works well - more modulation. Be careful with tightening clamps, you must tighten the top bolt first then the bottom. Great brakes overall for my hardtail. Peace

      @@paulv8453 I'm weighing around 74kgs. On my full suspension 150/140 it came stock with SRAM guideR 203f/180r. I wish they would break so I can put Magura Trails on that. I have found on my hardtail which I use for light trail and cross country the Magura's are leaps and bounds ahead of the SRAM. Regarding feel, when I had the 180 on the rear the brakes felt terribly balanced, just instantly wanted to lock up. Changed back down to 160 with my original Avid brake disc, and the balance is beautiful. The lever feel is really light when cruising on the brake and provides loads of feedback when pulling hard applying the anchors but in an easy too judge modulated way. I'd stick with the 160 on the rear and upgrade if needed. Unless your dragging your rear brake down long descents (overheating) I think you'll find the 160 will be great. Peace

      On my enduro I run some "el Cheapo" rotors. I don't even know the make of the front one (I just liked the way it looked - 203mm) and a tiny 160mm Nano on the back (I also just liked the way it looked) and there is still enough power there. The HT runs a 180mm XT rotor on the back and a 203mm Avid on the front. The HT has better stopping power than the Enduro to be fair.
      I am going to replace the rotors on the enduro in the next few weeks to Magura rotors (203mm up front and a 180mm on the back) as I have a big trip planned for the middle of the year. So I'll do a review on those once they've been run for a bit...

The pads last longer on the HT and it stops a bit better. Both also stop really "smoothly".

      You could... If you swap them out (the 4 pot comes pre-installed on the long hose and the 2 pot on the short), and do a bleed. Although I couldn't imagine why you'd prefer that. A vast majority of your stopping power comes off the front so it's better to have the more powerful stopper up front...

      @@TrailTales Thanks for the info :) The beginner in me is saying I need quad for the rear and dual for the front so I don't go OTB if that makes sense 😂 anyway I was about to go with the mt5 but I think I like the 1 finger lever on the mt trail.. Mt7 are out of budget and replacing the mt5 levers are an added cost. Thanks for this review and answering my question.

      @@mickeelacerna4511 No worries mate... I'd still go 4-pot up front though. The modulation on the Trail Sports is really nice and you'll appreciate that extra power up front as you progress. Glad you liked the vid man. And keep me up-dated which way you decide to go... :D

    So I am standing between these maguras or sram code. I have started to race downhill so I need something powerfull but so it won't empty my wallet.

      It's always a tough one trying to eek out the best on a budget... 've not had a good go on the codes so I'd not like to put my hat on the table as to which is the more powerful... But these MT Trails do a good job at stopping a person. The ability to "add" a bit of extra stop through using the "race" pads is also nice...
      Also... Thanx for watching and the comments...
