What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I recommend the Gustav Elite for riders pushing hard on enduro or eMTB builds. Paired with 2. 5mm rotors, heat stability is impressive on long descents, and the 4-piston caliper delivers serious bite without losing modulation. The T25 reach adjust makes dialing in lever feel easy, and EASY LINK simplifies setup. It's a powerhouse brake for aggressive riding." When trails steepen and speeds climb, we rely on brakes that won't fade under pressure. The Magura Gustav Elite Carbotecture Brake is engineered for gravity, enduro, trail, and eMTB applications where maximum control is non-negotiable. Built around the proven Gustav platform, it delivers high-capacity braking performance tuned for modern, high-powered bikes. Designed for use with 2. 5mm rotors-while remaining compatible with optional 2. 0mm discs-the 4-piston caliper provides consistent clamping force and enhanced heat management on sustained descents. Extra-large MDP 13 black/grey pads further increase durability and braking stability under heavy loads. The Carbotecture master cylinder balances strength and weight, while T25 reach adjustment allows precise lever tuning. With EASY LINK hose connectivity, 2,600mm hose length for long-travel frames, and Shiftmix compatibility for clean cockpit integration, the Gustav Elite is built for riders demanding uncompromising braking performance in the most challenging terrain.
