The disc brake which brought 1991 cross-country world champion John Tomac and 1996 dual slalom World Championship gold medallist Shaun Palmer to a halt is to be retired.

The Magura’s Gustav M has built a legendary reputation as an indestructible brake anchor with unmatched solidity and longevity.

But after 13 years of service good ol’ Gustav is making its final production run – from November 19 to December 19.

A complete pair will be available with a saving of up to 60%, retailing at £212 in the UK and 249 euros on the Continent.
