The Magura LOUISE ELITE brake has been available on complete bikes since summer 2025. But now, the individual brakes are also available to end customers in specialist shops. Registered dealers can order the LOUISE ELITE as usual from MAGURA Bosch Parts & Services on the myMBPS portal.
Reliable 4-piston power for a wide range of applications – with ABS compatibility, EASY LINK technology, and proven MAGURA performance.
With the new LOUISE ELITE 2025, MAGURA is making a strong statement for all-round braking performance. Inspired by the classic from the 2000s, the new generation has been completely redeveloped – with the goal of making maximum braking power and modern technology accessible to a broad target group. The LOUISE ELITE is aimed at demanding everyday riders as well as (e-)mountain bikers, positioning itself as a powerful and reliable 4-piston brake with excellent value for money.
For EVERYONE who always wants to rely on their brake.
Whether in city traffic or on demanding trails: the LOUISE ELITE delivers uncompromising braking performance with high heat resistance and braking power. MAGURA uses one-piece forged 4-piston calipers made of aluminum in combination with 2.0 mm thick brake rotors. The stiff system converts every ounce of hand force directly into braking power. Additionally, the one-piece caliper design is particularly resistant to leakage. MAGURA stands by its quality promise with the LOUISE ELITE: 5-year leak proof warranty on brake master and caliper – beyond the statutory warranty.
Bosch eBike ABS ready & with MAGURA EASY LINK.
Particular attention was paid to the integration of modern safety and maintenance features. The LOUISE ELITE brake master is fully compatible with Bosch eBike ABS systems (modes: Touring, Touring, Trail) and provides the ideal technical foundation for precise ABS function thanks to its increased oil flow volume.
MAGURA is also using the new EASY LINK technology in this price range for the first time – a tool-free, integrated hose connection that enables up to 40% faster and cleaner installation. As a plug’n play connection between the brake hose and brake master, the EASY LINK technology also simplifies maintenance.
A brake you don’t notice – until you need it.
Rub-free, quiet, and easy to maintain. The new LOUISE ELITE is a universal talent that works subtly in the background. While the caliper is based on the proven MT5, its internals have been completely redesigned. New machining of the piston chambers and sealing areas ensures especially consistent and reliable piston retraction. This minimizes rubbing noises – even after hundreds of kilometers. It is complemented by the revised friction ring design of the MDR-S 2.0 brake rotors, which helps reduce potential noise.
Additionally, the LOUISE ELITE can be retrofitted for the first time compared to the MT5 with a bleed valve at the caliper, making service work easier.
The design of the brake is deliberately simple and integrative. Thanks to the compact radial brake master design, the LOUISE takes up very little space on the handlebar, simplifying the combination with accessories. The one-piece Carbotecture clamp supports the clean look and allows for direct mounting of shift or dropper post levers using MAGURA SHIFTMIX IG. Despite its one-piece design, the clamp can be clipped onto the handlebar without removing the handlebar grip.
Matching its compact design, the LOUISE ELITE weighs only 250 g* and is significantly lighter than its competitors.
Love at first brake.
The LOUISE ELITE also impresses in terms of ergonomics: the new Carbotecture brake master offers optimal ergonomics for a wide range of riders and features a textured brake lever. Whether with or without gloves: the precisely crafted LOUISE ELITE lever ensures an optimal lever feel in every situation. MAGURA has also made internal improvements to the brake lever to provide an intuitive and comfortable braking experience. A larger master piston helps create a more defined bite point compared to the MT5. The result is a distinctly firmer bite point that conveys security and power without compromising modulation.
