Magura 9.P Performance Disc Brake Pads for MT5/MT7 — Black, 4-Piston Front Fit, Strong Initial Bite

Magura 9.P Performance brake pads are a fitted pair of steel-backed disc pads engineered to deliver crisp, reliable stopping power for 4-piston MT5 and MT7 calipers and the front caliper of Magura Trail brakes.

These replacement pads use a one-piece connected back plate for secure installation and are offered in a Performance compound tuned to give confident bite and consistent modulation across mixed conditions. They replace the older 9.1 pad shape and are compatible with Magura systems from MJ2015 onward. Built for riders who demand dependable braking on long rides, the 9.P pads balance initial friction and heat management without changing your caliper or rotor setup.

How do these pads affect braking feel and modulation?

The Performance compound is formulated to produce a strong initial bite while preserving predictable lever feel through prolonged use. You’ll notice firm engagement at the start of each stop and smooth progression as pressure increases, helping control speed on technical sections.

• Performance compound for reliable initial bite
• Steel connected back plate keeps pad geometry stable
• Designed for 4-piston calipers to maintain modulation under load
• Consistent behavior across varied terrain and temperatures

Will these pads fit my Magura brake system?

These pads are made to fit Magura MT5 and MT7 four-piston brake calipers and the front caliper used in Magura Trail brakes, starting from model year 2015. They replace the previous 9.1 pad shape, so if your system used that designation these will be a drop-in replacement.

• Compatible with MT5 and MT7 four-piston calipers
• Fits front caliper on Magura Trail brakes
• Replaces 9.1 pad designation for direct swap
• Intended for Magura models from MJ2015 forward

How does the pad design manage heat and wear on long rides?

The pads use a connected steel backing plate to keep the friction material flat against the caliper under heavy use, which helps distribute forces and resist deformation. While they don’t include a dedicated heat sink, the material selection and plate design aim to balance wear life and thermal resilience for extended outings.

• One-piece connected back plate reduces pad flex
• Compound chosen for balanced wear and thermal stability
• Optimized for tour-length rides without rapid glazing
• Steel backing protects pad integrity under load

How easy is installation and maintenance?

Installation follows standard pad-replacement steps for Magura four-piston calipers: remove the wheel, extract the retaining pin or clip, swap pads and reassemble. Routine inspection for thickness and contamination keeps braking consistent; replace pads when friction material is low or contaminated by oil or grease.

• Direct-fit replacement—no caliper modification needed
• Standard Magura pad-change procedure applies
• Inspect for contamination, replace if soaked in oil
• Replace when friction material nears minimum thickness

Who is this for: The Magura 9.P Performance pads suit riders who use four-piston MT5 or MT7 brakes and want a reliable, high-bite replacement for longer rides and mixed-terrain use. They’re a good choice for mountain bikers and tourers who prioritize consistent stopping power and straightforward, tool-friendly swaps over more abrasive compounds that wear faster. If you own compatible Magura calipers from 2015 onward and need a durable, predictable pad with a steel back plate, the 9.P Performance set offers a practical upgrade without altering your brake hardware.
