Disc Brake Pads - Galfer Pro

These pads are optimized for aggressive riding disciplines like downhill, enduro, and e-MTB racing where maximum braking power and heat resistance are crucial.

Longevity depends heavily on riding conditions, frequency, and braking habits. The Pro compound is designed for performance, which may result in a shorter lifespan compared to pads made for longevity in casual riding.

Yes, but they might be more aggressive than necessary for casual trail riding. They will perform well, but their primary design is for racing environments.

The Pro compound offers exceptional heat resistance and a strong initial bite, leading to consistent, fade-free braking power even under extreme conditions.

Basic bicycle tools are typically required for brake pad replacement, such as Allen keys. Specific brake manufacturer instructions may vary slightly.

These specific pads are designed for Avid Elixir and SRAM XX models. Compatibility with other SRAM or Avid systems is not guaranteed and may require different pad shapes.

A sharp initial bite means the brakes engage more quickly and powerfully upon initial lever application, providing a more responsive feel and allowing for later, more precise braking points.

Ensure the pads are fully bedded-in. Check that the brake rotors are clean and free of oil or debris. Verify the brake system is properly bled and has adequate fluid.

Check pad alignment within the caliper. Ensure the rotor is true and clean. Bedding-in the pads properly can sometimes resolve noise issues.

While designed to resist fade, ensure your brake system is in optimal condition. Check rotor size and condition, and consider if excessive heat is being generated beyond the pad's designed limits for your riding style.

Confirm that your brake system is indeed an Avid Elixir or SRAM XX model. Verify you have the correct pad shape for your specific brake model variant.
