BRAKEPADS DISC BRAKES

Brakes stand for power and quiet operation. That’s why all our brake pads are made of an organic pad compound with a metal content of up to 30% (More in the FAQ section). Choosing the optimal brake pad depends on your personal riding behaviour and needs.

UNLEASH THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR BRAKE PAD

The two most important things you need to know: The brake pad influences more than 20% of your braking force. So, choosing the right pad is essential for getting the most out of your brake. And the other? You can only achieve the optimum braking force by running in the brakes correctly.

BRAKING POWER, DURABILITY, QUIET BRAKE NOISE, WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?

THE BRAKE PAD IS MORE THAN JUST A WEAR PART!

AVOID FADING WITH THE RIGHT BRAKE PAD

The highest braking power is of little use on the trail if it decreases during prolonged braking caused by overheating.

Choosing the right brake pad will help your brake achieve more heat resistance, making it fit for prolonged descents or high system weights.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO RUN IN THE BRAKE PADS?

When the brakes are being run in, microscopic imperfections are filled in, and the brake pad can emit gas. This way, you’ll unleash the maximum friction force, achieve even wear, and the initial brake squealing will disappear.

CORRECT RUNNING-IN OF YOUR DISC BRAKE. HERE’S HOW:

Don’t brake too hard. Find a flat, low-traffic route and accelerate to 25-30 km/h. Brake gently but firmly, until you come to a standstill. We recommend 30 braking repetitions to achieve the maximum braking torque. To keep your brake in tip-top condition, repeat the running-in process at regular intervals depending on the type of route.

7.P OR 8.P? WHICH PAD DO I NEED?

When designating pads, the number indicates the shape of the pad and the letter indicates the compound. Variants with "8" and "9" are compatible with 4-piston calipers and variants with "7" with 2-piston calipers. Pads with the "10" are only compatible with the MT A disc brake.
