Just back after a week hammering the MT5's in Morzine.
Worked perfectly - loads of modulation for speed checking but backed up with shed loads of power if needed.
Followed the Magura bleed video when shortening both hoses.
I really like my MT7’s, now. Came stock on my bike a few years ago. Braking never did seem that impressive, so i bought a bleed kit, replaced the pads with SS Kevlar and fitted some Uberbike rotors and they are now brilliant.
I honestly haven’t touched them in 18 months, not even replaced the pads.
I am convinced that the ‘SL’ rotors it came with were the problem, not much braking surface due to massive cut outs to save weight and me being a lard, doesn’t help.
Looking to replace my Guide R’s on my hardtail to the MT trail sport in the near future.
