Gustav Elite Higo Closer Brake

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I recommend the GUSTAV ELITE for high-powered eMTBs that see long, demanding descents. The 2.5mm rotor compatibility noticeably improves heat stability, and the braking point feels powerful yet controlled. The 1-finger lever delivers excellent modulation, and the HIGO switch integrates seamlessly with e-bike systems. It’s a strong choice for riders prioritizing durability and thermal performance."

The Magura GUSTAV ELITE Higo Closer Brake is engineered to meet the extreme braking demands of modern eMTB and eCargo platforms. Derived from the proven GUSTAV PRO architecture, it maintains the same focus on heat management and control while offering a streamlined package for high-performance electric builds. Compatibility with 2.5mm brake rotors significantly increases thermal mass, improving fade resistance and consistency during prolonged, high-load descents. Optional compatibility with 2.0mm rotors adds integration flexibility.

A 4-piston caliper delivers powerful, evenly distributed clamping force across extra-large MDP 13 black/grey pads, enhancing durability and sustained braking output. The Carbotecture master cylinder provides a robust yet lightweight lever assembly, while T25 reach adjustment allows precise ergonomic tuning. The 1-finger ball-end lever blade integrates a HIGO N/O switch for seamless e-bike connectivity and supports Shiftmix compatibility for optimized cockpit layouts.

With EASY LINK hose connection technology and a 2,600mm line length suited to long-travel and extended e-bike frames, the GUSTAV ELITE offers a high-capacity braking solution designed for maximum heat control, confident modulation, and reliable performance in the most demanding electric riding environments.
