Magura MT5e front RCS brake

Yes. I believe they call NO "Closer" (it's a German company, so their translation is a little weird)
Are you getting just front or both front and rear?
Here's an example on their site http://www.magurausa-shop.com/product.htm?pid=274848&cat=11906
You need to order one front "closer" and one rear "closer". Are you getting the MT5e or some other model?
If you're getting them direct from Magura, they're out of stock right now. I had to wait to get mine from them, but it was during the winter. Other bike shops carry them, but you need to be real careful when ordering.
Was only like 2 weeks. This is what I got for my front only;

They cut the brake line to 33" for me b/c my hands are messed up.
I think so, but you'll need to buy 2 Magura adaptors for the front and rear no matter what size rotor you use. Magura can tell you which adaptors you will need for your bike and the rotors you choose. I sent them pics of my bike and they knew which adaptor to send.
I kept the stock Star Union dual piston. It's not nearly as good as the Magura in front, but I feel it modulates well enough between the two.
Well, I'm no expert, but I'd say going with an undersized disc defeats the purpose. The 4-piston MT5e works best with the Magura 180-203mm disc.
I'm off to work now
We'll talk again
Not completely sure. If you contact Magura, you can tell them what you need. The guy I talked to is Jude. He's real good at fitting their brakes onto your bike. You can still buy it elsewhere, but he can answer your questions about connectors, adaptors and general fitment.
