MDR-C CL Disc Brake Rotor

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the Magura USA MDR-C CL Disc Brake Rotor use Center Lock and what mounting hardware do I need?

  Yes — the Magura USA MDR-C CL Disc Brake Rotor is a Center Lock rotor and requires a Shimano/SRAM-style Center Lock lockring (not included); you can fit it to 6‑bolt hubs using an optional adapter.
• What diameter and weight options are available for the Magura USA MDR-C CL Disc Brake Rotor?

  The MDR‑C CL comes in 160mm, 180mm, 203mm and 220mm diameters with a 1.8mm thickness; weights are ~96g (160mm), 108g (180mm), 117g (203mm) and 128g (220mm).
• Is the Magura USA MDR-C CL rotor suited for enduro and downhill use, and how does it handle heat/fade?

  Yes — it’s optimized for aggressive MTB, enduro and DH riding with an aluminum carrier and cooling channels that improve dissipation; the spec sheet lists max heat resistance to ~500°C and testing to 200+ stops at peak heat to reduce fade.
• How is the Magura USA MDR-C CL Disc Brake Rotor constructed and what ride benefits does that bring?

  It’s a two‑piece design with a 7075 aluminum alloy carrier and a laser‑cut stainless steel braking ring riveted to the carrier; the asymmetric wave profile cuts rotational mass, sheds mud/rocks, and reduces noise/vibration while improving cooling.
• Will the Magura USA MDR-C CL work with Magura MT-series calipers and standard brake pads?

  Yes — the MDR‑C CL is a direct replacement for Magura MT‑series brakes (MT5, MT7, MT8) and is intended to be used with Magura‑compatible pads; just confirm caliper clearance for your chosen diameter and install the correct Center Lock lockring or adapter.
