    What are the best pads for mt5s?

    The Magura ones are pretty good, I have also used the copper free from Discobrakes with good results. Galfer meant to be decent too

    Uberbike sintered. Cheap and fine. Probably not the best though, but good enough.

    EBC Gold are best for me, brake well and last long.

    Nothing beats the Magura ones for me.

    Others work well in the dry but get shredded in the wet and generally don’t hold up as well as the Magura pads

    The Trickstuff thicker rotors or Maguras heavier rotor are recommended too. The Storm SL add to the pad shredding in the wet IME

    Anecdotally the MT7 shape pads (separate pad for each piston) are better than the MT5 (single wider pad) ones. I haven’t tried them yet though and had already stocked up on Disco Green MT5 shape ones, so won’t for some while.

    EBC Sintered have been the best by far for me. Very fast bed in, great power and they last well.
