MAGURA has embarked on its MISSION PERFORMANCE campaign to develop the best disc brake in the world. But how do we define the best brake in the world? Isn’t it true that every terrain has its own particular challenges and that every bike has its own specific requirements, even every individual biker? Downhill racers need extreme braking power and stability - a few grammes more make no difference to them. World Cup racers are at the exact opposite end of the spectrum, and there are countless other specifications in-between.

The question is what would a brake need to be like to meet every requirement?
Surprisingly (but then again not surprisingly), it very quickly became apparent that there were four main criteria which a brake would need to satisfy in equal measure to qualify as the best brake in the world:
