Gustav Elite Carbotecture Brake

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I spec the Gustav Elite on aggressive enduro and eMTB builds where heat control is critical. The 2.5mm rotor compatibility noticeably improves braking consistency, and the modulation remains predictable even on long, technical descents. The 4-piston design and oversized pads deliver confidence-inspiring stopping power without excessive lever effort."

The Magura Gustav Elite Carbotecture Brake extends Gustav-level braking performance to gravity, enduro, trail, eMTB, and SUV platforms. Developed to handle high system weights and prolonged descending, it is optimized for 2.5mm brake rotors to maximize thermal capacity and fade resistance. Optional compatibility with 2.0mm rotors offers additional integration flexibility.

A forged 4-piston caliper distributes braking force evenly across extra-large MDP 13 black/grey pads, enhancing durability and sustained power under demanding loads. The Carbotecture master cylinder provides a lightweight yet impact-resistant lever assembly, while T25 reach adjustment enables precise ergonomic tuning. With a 2,600mm hose length, the system accommodates modern long-travel and high-capacity frames.

EASY LINK hose connectivity simplifies installation and maintenance, and Shiftmix compatibility supports clean cockpit integration. For riders seeking uncompromising braking control, high heat tolerance, and consistent modulation in aggressive terrain, the Gustav Elite delivers gravity-ready stopping performance with refined adjustability.
