BikeMagic reviews the Magura Louise FR disc brake

If you’re like me, you find a disc brake that works well for you and are extremely hesitant to make changes to your existing setup. Of course, when you do this, you close doors that could help you ride faster and with more control.

As I’ve mentioned elsewhere Magura is doing a good job creating a solid support network for its users across North America. And it doesn’t hurt that products like the Gustav are showing up on more and more pros’ freeride bikes and in places like North Vancouver’s ‘Shore’, which certainly is a testament to the stopping ability of the company’s ‘big’ brake.

BikeMagic posted up a quality review of the Magura Louise FR disc brake for those of you who want good stoppers but who don’t need the heart stopping power of the Gustav. Based on the reviews that have made their way onto the ‘net, there don’t appear to be too many problems or criticisms of Magura’s product.

Magura brakes have a five year ‘leak proof’ guarantee so, barring any mechanical failures that result because of crashes, you should be good to go for some time. And if you do need replacement hardware for your brakes, you can order parts for your Maguras directly from the company’s website.
