No. Magura systems are designed exclusively for mineral oil (Magura Royal Blood). Using DOT fluid will cause immediate seal failure.
It is recommended to use Magura Storm or MDR series rotors for the best performance and heat management.
A bleed is generally recommended once per year, or whenever you notice a decrease in lever firmness.
You will need a T25 Torx key, a torque wrench, a bleed kit, and a line cutter/insert tool if shortening the hoses.
The HC carbon levers are reinforced and designed for trail abuse, but they should still be treated with care during installation and avoided being clamped down onto rigid surfaces.
The system likely has air trapped in the lines. Perform a thorough bleed using Magura Royal Blood.
Clean the rotors with high-quality isopropyl alcohol and ensure the brake pads are properly bedded-in.
Check for debris around the pivot point or ensure the master cylinder clamp is not overtightened.
Installation should be approached with precision, particularly regarding the use of a torque wrench on the Carbotecture housing to prevent cracking. Use the included olives and inserts when cutting lines to length. Ensure compatibility with your frame's brake mounts, using adapters if your rotor size exceeds native specifications. Regular maintenance involves cleaning the pistons during pad changes and periodic bleeding using only approved Magura Royal Blood mineral oil. Avoid using DOT fluids, as these will destroy the internal seals.
