Today, the German brake specialists at Magura<\/a> are introducing what they are calling the most powerful brake they have ever developed: the Race Pro. Designed with massive stopping power and uncompromising control in mind, the new Race Pro is aimed squarely at serious mountain bike riders. Magura also breaks its own mold and aims to quiet \u201cthe haters<\/em> and skeptics<\/em>\u201d by manufacturing the Race Pro brakes in premium aluminum.<\/p>\n

Magura Race Pro Details<\/h2>\n

Magura makes it very clear that the goal with the Race Pro was to create its most powerful brake to date. With a name like Race Pro, it\u2019s clear that it\u2019s aimed at racers, particularly gravity riders, but is intended for use by all riders seeking peak braking performance. They say the new brakes offer full power and aggressive bite, but with a gentle touch. This means that riders get extreme braking power when they need it most, with smooth actuation and low hand force to keep arm pump at bay.<\/p>\n

Magura says that efficiency is the key to this new brake. \u201cOur legendary radial master piston, actuated towards the handlebar, and a low-friction anodized piston chamber convert every bit of finger force into braking power.<\/em>\u201d That\u2019s paired with a ball-bearing lever pivot to ensure smooth operation. At the caliper, the one-piece forged construction ensures maximum stiffness and no loss of braking force transferred to the pads.<\/p>\n

Magura says that another key benefit of the new Race Pro is predictable braking power delivery. The brake lever leverage ratio curve is a perfectly straight line, indicating a constant, linear leverage ratio which \u201cremains precise to modulate and is consistently predictable at all times<\/em>.\u201d They say this avoids the on\/off feel of other brakes and offers the widest modulation range.<\/p>\n

On previous Magura brakes, the brand has relied on its Carbotecture material for many of the components. With the Race Pro, Magura has chosen to craft the brake master, lever blade, and clamp from aluminum. Those parts join the caliper, which still relies on its proven one-piece forged design, which they say ensures reliability, no leakage, and provides an optimal balance of stiffness and weight. <\/p>\n

According to the brand, they\u2019ve meticulously machined the parts to remove all unnecessary grams to achieve best-in-class weight. This includes the lever and caliper, both of which are CNC post-machined after forging, for weight savings and also for a sculpted minimalist aesthetic. They\u2019re continuing to use the radial master cylinder, but have arranged the oil volume axially to save space and achieve the most compact design possible.<\/p>\n
