Magura MT Trail Sport oppinion

[MK_1981]

Hi all,
I need your advice.

current system TEKTRO HD-M275; 180mm rotors (Tektro stock front and back; traveled around 600km).
I'm thinking of getting Magura MT Trail Sport Disc Brake full set for a sale price of 94€ (no adapters and rotors included).
I would live stock rotors on for now.

My original plan was getting Shimano Deore BL-M6100 + BR-M6120 Enduro for 183e down the road, but this magura seems to good of a price?

thx.

edit: after further research I can see that magura has 2mm rotors so I would also change existing tektro rotors to MDR-C rotors.

Push the boat out and get MDR-P they seem favoured by many for 203/220mm what’s the bike? System weight?

no point. the fork doesn't support more than 180mm. at least that's what I concluded when research. the bike is Nakamura Catch 5,4. fork is Suntour XCM 32 Coil, Travel 100 mm, Lockout. crap I know, but can't afford anything better :-(.
Also no idea where I would start looking for a new better bike when all better ones I've researched have some issues with motor installing because of the area around/under bottom bracket.
didn't weight it yet. I presume 15kg for the bike + around 10kg for the z8 + 13aH battery.
I'm 67-70kg.

I drive this brakes on my xc bike (an old MY 2008 Fucus ) these brakes are more than strong enough, and my weight is near 100 kg. And yes like @Valaminium said the mdr-p discs are way better.

I meant 180mm mdrp. Considering the weight like mine (bike 24kg) they are less prone to warping.
Depends on the speeds too if your unrestricted with that setup, trail sport pads might be borderline. Aftermarket sintered best to search on here or elsewhere the 4 pot front is the same as MT5e MT5 and MT7 so if you can find a pair of MT5e they’ll have the pads required.

No restriction on my bike. custom built. don't like going above 40km/h personally.
I presume, and that's what I concluded during research is that with a new Magura MT Trail Sport set you get performance pads (grey), is this wrong?

Magura MDR-C Rotor - 6-Bolt, 180mm - 16e
Magura MDR-P Rotor - 6-Bolt, 180mm - 37e.

Is it worth it for such a price diff?

How about combining, MDR-C back, MDR-P front?

Often I drive to the city from where I live, and there is a long downhill going for a few km where I need to brake alot.

You can always buy the mdrp later if the c warp…
If the Performance pads are supplied yes (they should be) its 4/5yrs since I looked at them. MT5e we’re cheaper as a pair, Trail sport new to market back then.
You could combine c back p front, but total weight and long periods of use considered as you mentioned might get you looking at Sintered pads or bigger front disc with the weight depends how you use brakes.
If commuting is that an extra 4-6Kg packed hanging off your back could influence brake balance.
