The Brake Authority Burly BA4056B brake pads for Magura MT brakes embody the excellence of French craftsmanship in bike braking. Designed by Fabien Barel, triple DH world champion, in collaboration with a renowned French manufacturer in the automotive and railway sectors, these sintered metal pads offer a remarkable balance between exceptional longevity, progressive braking and environmental respect. Burly type compound, they are specially formulated for XC, All-Mountain, Enduro practices and E-Bike optimized.

Technical synthesis and philosophy

Developed using the synthesis process at very high temperature (over 1000°C), the Burly BA4056B pads combine high-level performance and environmental commitment. The NoNitech technology (total absence of nickel, a highly toxic substance) guarantees manufacturing that respects both people and the planet. Delivered pre-bedded, they are immediately operational upon installation, offering easy to modulate braking and remarkable progressivity from the first brake applications.

Technical highlights

• Exceptional longevity (5/5): Their synthesized sintered metal composition offers unmatched durability, reducing replacement frequency and environmental impact.
• Rotor-friendly: Soft compound on the rotor, limiting premature wear while maintaining consistent braking.
• Progressivity and modulation: Easy to modulate braking, ideal for long leisure rides, technical XC courses and AM/Enduro descents where control is paramount.
• NoNitech technology: Zero nickel in the composition, to preserve the health of mechanics and cyclists as well as the environment.
• E-Bike optimization: Formulation adapted to the constraints of electric assist bikes (higher masses, increased stress).
• Pre-bedded: No tedious bedding-in phase, optimal performance from installation.

Compatibility and standards

The BA4056B pads are designed to fit perfectly with the following Magura MT brake calipers: MT2, MT4, MT6, MT8 and MTS. Sold as a pair (2 pads for one caliper), they are packaged in 100% recyclable and recycled packaging, in accordance with the brand's eco-responsible approach.

Usage and field performance

Type B Burly compound, these pads find their ideal terrain in leisure, Cross-Country, All-Mountain and Enduro practices. Their performance profile favors maximum durability (5/5), balanced braking power (4/5) and thermal resistance adapted to moderate to sustained braking (3/5). Ideal for long rides where braking reliability and consistency are essential, they excel in varied conditions (dry, wet, mud) and offer sufficient bite without excessive aggression.

Environmental commitment and local manufacturing

Brake Authority places Respect at the heart of its DNA. All pads are produced in France, drastically reducing the carbon footprint linked to transport. The manufacturing process excludes harmful materials (nickel), and the brand offers a recycling program for used pads. Packaging is entirely recycled and recyclable. Brake Authority also donates 1% of its revenue to environmental associations, consolidating its commitment to preserving mountain bikers' playgrounds.

Installation and maintenance

Installing the BA4056B pads follows the standard replacement procedure for Magura MT brakes. Thanks to their factory pre-bedding, no additional bedding is required: braking is effective from the first ride (simple pairing with the rotor is sufficient if it is not new). Regularly check the compound thickness (minimum 1 to 2 mm) and replace as soon as the wear indicator is reached. For XC/AM/Enduro practice, check condition every 300 to 500 km depending on intensity and riding conditions.
