It’s pretty unanimous that brakes are critical for bike safety. This is especially true for e-bikes, especially those designed to carry heavy loads or even kids. Magura, a top name in bike brakes, has come up with something new. At the Eurobike 2023 show, they introduced the Combined Braking System (CBS) made for e-bikes. The system links the brake handle to the disc brakes. This means when you pull the brake handle, it makes both the front and back brakes work together. The result? Better and safer stopping.
Magura wants to integrate their advanced braking system with all types of e-bikes
In fact, Magura’s tests show that with CBS, bikes can stop up to 40% shorter. This is great news, especially for cargo e-bikes that carry a lot. Plus, for people new to e-bikes, it takes away the worry of using the front brake. With CBS, pulling any brake lever means both brakes work, making it safer and more straightforward.
Magura plans to put this new brake system on cargo bikes by 2024. But they’re not stopping there. They want to put it on city bikes and other types too. They’ve been leaders in the bike world for a long time, like when they were among the first to use hydraulic brakes and add ABS to e-bikes. Now, with CBS, they’re making electric bikes safer for everyone.
