The 8. P Disc Brake Pad is Magura's middle-of-the-trail option. It's a resin base with suspended brass particles that find a happy medium between the longevity--but less initial bite--of the C (Comfort) pads and the responsive bite but shorter-lived R (Race) models. Since it's built for use with the enduro-minded MT7 brakes, the 8. P pad's balancing act is appropriate for the self-sponsored shredders who want confidence on the ragged edge but don't necessarily relish shelling out for new pads as often as they wash their baggies. Compared to the Race version, the Performance line also doesn't come with a weight limit, so those extra goodies won't be your undoing in hairy situations on the trail.
