Thanks to the new technology, both suspension forks and shocks from the German brake and suspension specialist can now be controlled electronically. Sensitive 3D acceleration sensors measure whether the mountain bike is on a downhill, uphill or flat terrain and automatically lock the suspension fork and suspension strut in "Auto Ride Mode" if necessary. The system also works in the event of a jump. If the sensor registers the sudden loss of height, it automatically opens the lockout within 200 milliseconds. The technology can be adjusted to the individual riding style. Those who prefer to continue operating their suspension fork, shock or overall suspension at the touch of a button can control the eLECT suspension system via the wireless remote control thanks to ANT+ technology.

In order to remain true to the simple Magura design, the battery is positioned as a discreet attachment within the chassis. With an operating time of 40 hours in automatic mode and 60 hours in manual mode, the battery, which can be easily recharged via micro USB, also ensures long-term riding fun.

Weighing just 93 grams, the handlebar unit is much lighter than conventional systems and can be attached directly to all MT brake models. A separately supplied clamp also allows other mountain bike brakes to be fitted with the high-quality technology. All suspension fork models released in 2010 or later can be retrofitted with the new eLECT suspension system.
