The rear suspension was replaced because it seems it was impossible to get the one that came with the bike, the brand of the current suspension is Noleen, but the previous owner told me that the bike was never the same after changing the rear suspension and that is how I end up with it... I had no idea how it rides since I am missing gears... oh yeah, I was also told that the brakes needs bleeding!

The brakes are Magura hydraulic cantilever-mount units. They are rare birds in the bicycle world- comparatively few were sold before disk brakes started to take over. They are popular among the bicycle observed trials people.

Spare parts are available from Magura USA: Magura USA | MAGURA Rim Brakes

IIRC, bleeding them is very similar to bleeding any other hydraulic system. I bet there's a YouTube video that shows how to do it.
