Magura USA 7.R Disc Brake Pad

When stopping isn´t optional.

If you´ve got a featherweight XC rig because you need speed on singletrack rather than bling on the tailgate, then Magura´s 7.R Disc Brake Pad—designed for use with two-piston calipers—is the obvious choice for stopping needs. Its robust bite means that you´ll never have to touch the brakes until you absolutely have to scrub speed, letting you carry as much momentum as possible with the confidence that, when the time comes, you´ll be able to feather just enough off the top to limit the need to mash out of corners.

The 7.R features Magura´s R (Race) compound, which begins with a resin base which is reinforced with suspended brass particles. The result is loud(-ish), sure, but it grabs the rotor with the same existential urgency with which we grab the brakes when we realize an upcoming rollover is less of a log-drop and more of a yawning precipice. As for the noise and increased rotor wear, this is a decidedly race-oriented pad (hence "Race"), so we´re okay with it.
