Less Brakes Magura Balanced 901

Balanced semi‑metallic brake pads for Magura MT5 and MT7 brakes, offering reactive low‑temperature braking, quiet operation, fast bed‑in, and smooth all‑terrain performance across XC, gravel, road, trail, and e‑bike riding.

LESS 901 Balanced pads use a highly versatile semi‑metallic compound designed for riders who want predictable, controlled braking across every discipline—from XC and gravel to enduro, downhill, and e‑MTB. Compatible with Magura MT5 and MT7 brake systems, these pads deliver a smooth, reactive feel with excellent modulation and very quiet operation.

The high‑organic, low‑metallic blend provides reactive braking at low temperatures and a quick bed‑in period, making them ideal for everyday riding and workshop use. Their balanced formulation offers dependable braking power and good rotor friendliness at an excellent value.

The Balanced compound prioritises versatility and quiet performance. Riders should be aware that braking strength may decrease on long, steep descents or in wet and muddy conditions, and lifespan is shorter than Progressive or Powerful compounds. For riders who frequently push brakes in extreme conditions, those compounds may be better suited.
