Welcome to the Ultimate Magura backings & Pads from HeatsinkBikes! Market leaders since 2004 and now updated to Version 2 for 2010

• The latest version of the first innovative super-performance CNC Aluminium backings. HeatsinkBikes famous world wide smash hit, often copied but never bettered!
  
  
• 8mm Pad compound extensively tested and continually optimised since 2004 by some of the World's strongest riders. As used to win 4x World Championship titles by Aurelien Fontenoy!
  
  
• Super rigid CNC aluminium seizes the lost energy which normally goes into flexing plastic backings and jams it back into braking so improving braking response and power.
  
  
• Fantastic sound, shed loads of grip and lock, with a great wear life.
  
  
• Individually hand assembled by the designer himself to ensure the best quality.
  
  
• Backings now slimmed down to 7.5mm, exactly the right thickness for Trials. Allows fitting around wide rims without valuable pad material needing to be trimmed off. Beware of slimmer alloy-backed pads where the Magura piston is allowed to interfere with the refills.
  
  
• Features the famous refurbishable o-ring clip for attachment to brake piston. Proven by HeatsinkBikes and now much copied by other alloy-backed pads.
  
  
• Beautifully CNCed in the UK to the latest Lamborghini inspired styling from top quality 6082-T6 Aluminium.
  
  
• Fitting refills is very easy because we designed it that way! The recess geometry avoids a flush central region so ensuring maximum refill compatability with standard Magura pad sized refills and the airholes are just the right size and place for ease of glueing and assembly.

Rider Feedback:

Tom (Taunton, UK)
I've been using the Heatsink pads and CNCed backings for month and a bit now. Their performance is perfect! I was riding in the wet the other day, and I'm sure my mate can vouch that there was hardly any difference in braking power when it started to rain. They're immense! Even when his disk was starting to lack its normal hold, mine just kept on trucking. Very stiff, and very loud. When the pads wear out, I will definitely be using another set of Heatsink refills in these backings!

James Porter (Swindon, UK)
The moment I put the CNCed backings on, the brake felt more responsive and firmer than plastic backed pads. Over 4 weeks of riding I've found that the CNCed backings have reduced the amount that rounded edges formed on the pads as they wore compared to plastic backings, which means better performing pads for longer. The clip which attaches it to the piston is far more secure, there is no way it is coming unclipped which a couple of powerpad backings have done to me in the past. The Heatsink pads work amazingly in both the dry and wet!

Can I buy your amazing CNC backings without pads fitted? I have some old Magura pads I'd like to transplant over.

No problem!

• Heatsink's much admired CNCed Magura backings without Pads fitted.
  
• Optimised CNCed Aluminium geometry for a great balance of slim line form (to maximise the pad thickness that can be fitted) and rigidity during braking.
  
• The first choice for top level Trials riders for their combination of performance and their versatility of pad choice.
  
• Ready for you to put together your own custom set-up whether that be using pads from plastic Magura type backings (boil in water to remove them from the original backings) or your own experimental pads.
  
• CNCed from top grade solid Aluminium 6082-T6 billet in the UK.
  
• Any Magura HS33 pad can be transplanted into the backings.
  
• Cheap to run using Heatsink refills or your own Magura pads.
