Magura RT8 TT Hydraulic Brake Set including Levers
The challenge facing Magura’s development department in Germany was clear and concise: to build the world’s fastest brake for the road. It had to be extremely light, provide greater braking power than any other road bike brake before it, yet still be capable of exact and smooth control. It also sets new standards in terms of aerodynamics for Triathlon and Time Trial machines. In order to trump here, Magura brought on board the Canadian bike manufacturer, Cervélo, for its exceptional expertise in aerodynamics. After more than one and a half-years of intense development, Magura had now created the braking revolution for Triathlon and Time Trial: Magura presents the RT8 TT
Speed management à la MAGURA: The one who brakes later stays fast longer. As a hydraulic rim brake, the RT8 TT has a crucial advantage over comparable mechanical braking systems. Friction losses are considerably lower allowing greater efficiency. This feature allows optimal control, the slightest of touches is required to produce a high braking power. The carbon brake levers save precious weight, as do the light and extremely stiff aluminum brake bodies. The result of collaboration with the experts at Cervélo is an aerodynamic, controllable, fatigue free hydraulic racing brake system weighing only 495 grams and providing up to 50% more power than a cable brake.
