Overview
The Magura Gustav Pro is a high-performance four-piston hydraulic disc brake system engineered chiefly for eMTB, enduro and gravity riding. It delivers very powerful and stable braking, aided by enlarged pistons (12 mm master, 19 mm caliper) that provide a defined bite point with strong modulation. The system includes extra-thick 2.5 mm rotors and high-volume brake pads for improved heat management and extended service intervals, reducing fade on long descents. It features Easy Link plug-and-play hose connections and an Easy Bleed system to simplify setup and maintenance, and it is optimised for Bosch ABS e-bike integration. The compact, lightweight build with Toolless reach adjustment makes it suitable for riders seeking robust control and reliability in demanding terrain.
