Magura 9.P Performance Disc Brake Pads for MT5/MT7 — Pair, Black, High-Response Modulation

Magura 9.P Performance disc brake pads are a pair of high-response replacement pads designed for 4-piston MT5 and MT7 calipers, delivering confident bite and consistent stopping power for trail and tour riding.

These pads use a single-piece connected steel back plate and a Performance friction compound developed for long rides where reliable braking feel across varied conditions matters. They fit Magura MT5 and MT7 four-piston brakes (including front calipers in Magura Trail setups) and replace the earlier 9.1 pad design. The pads come as a matched pair sized for one caliper and are intended for riders who want predictable modulation and strong initial bite without sacrificing endurance on long descents.

How do these pads improve braking performance on mixed-terrain rides?

The Performance compound is formulated to provide strong initial bite and steady modulation, helping you control speed on technical trails and long tours. While not a heat-sink design, the solid steel backing plate keeps pad shape stable under load for consistent lever feel.

• Performance compound tuned for immediate response and dependable friction
• Connected single-piece back plate resists twisting and maintains pad alignment
• Optimized for four-piston calipers to maximize contact area and stopping force

Will these pads fit my Magura MT5 or MT7 brakes?

Yes—these pads are compatible with Magura MT5 and MT7 four-piston calipers, as well as the front caliper in Magura Trail brake assemblies from MJ2015 onward. They are sold as a pair that serves one caliper, so you’ll need two sets for both front and rear calipers.

• Direct fit for MT5 and MT7 four-piston calipers
• Compatible with front caliper in Magura Trail brakes (from MJ2015)
• Replaces the previous 9.1 brake pad model

How durable are these pads and what maintenance should I expect?

The Performance compound balances wear life and stopping power, making it suitable for long rides without extremely rapid wear. Regular inspection for pad thickness and rotor contamination is recommended; replace when backing plate becomes visible or braking performance drops.

• Steel backing plate stabilizes pad shape and wear pattern
• Inspect pads after heavy descents or contamination exposures
• Sold as two individual pads—enough for one 4-piston caliper

What simple steps ensure optimal pad installation and performance?

Clean rotor surfaces and use proper pad spacers while installing to avoid lever contact and ensure correct caliper alignment. Bed-in the pads with progressive stops from moderate speed to transfer an even layer of friction material to the rotor for consistent bite.

• Thoroughly clean rotor and caliper contact areas before fitting
• Use correct pad retention hardware and follow torque guidelines for pins/bolts
• Perform gradual bedding-in: several controlled stops to establish consistent friction

Who is this for: The Magura 9.P Performance pads suit trail and tour cyclists using MT5 or MT7 four-piston brake systems who want stronger initial braking response and steady modulation over long rides. They are aimed at riders who prefer a balanced trade-off between bite and pad longevity, and anyone replacing worn 9.1 pads with a readily compatible Performance option.
