Magura

In 1957, MAGURA took over a plastic injection moulding shop for the development of its own products and sophisticated designs. Today MAGURA produces in the state-of-the-art factory in Hülben, near Bad Urach, where the Carbotecture and

Carbotecture SL materials are developed and manufactured in-house. At the Hengen plant, 130 employees produce bicycle brakes, motorcycle components and industrial parts.

MAGURA now divides its business activities into four important segments: Bike, Powersports, Controls and Composite. Over the last 30 years, MAGURA has transformed itself from a newcomer in the bike sector with the invention of the first hydraulic bicycle brakes in 1987 to a technology leader in the industry. High-tech components are manufactured from materials developed and produced in-house and are successfully used in the test winner brakes of the MT series. The latest milestone in history included innovations such as MAGURA ABS components perfectly matched to the Bosch eBike ABS. An electric drive enables higher speeds, more distance and the transport of larger loads, all resulting in new requirements for braking. A study concluded that the Bosch eBike ABS could have prevented 29% of pedelec accidents.

In developing the eBike ABS, both companies benefited from their many years of experience with antilock braking systems for motorcycles. Performance rethought.
