Product Information

Full details

The Ashima semi-metal brake pads are designed for mountain bike riders who demand consistent, reliable stopping power in diverse trail conditions. These pads excel in durability and performance, especially when navigating mud or challenging terrain throughout the year. While they offer a robust compound for longevity, users should ensure they are properly bedded-in after installation to achieve optimal braking friction.

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with all Magura brakes?

No, they are specifically compatible with Magura Marta, MT5, and MT7 brake systems. Please verify your specific model before purchasing.

Do I need to sand my rotors before installing these?

It is highly recommended to clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove old pad residue. Lightly sanding the rotor is optional but can help ensure a fresh surface for the new pads.

Are these pads suitable for professional racing?

Yes, their reliability and heat resistance make them a suitable choice for competitive trail and mountain bike racing.

How do I know when the pads need to be replaced?

You should replace the pads when the friction material thickness drops below 0.5mm or if you notice a significant decrease in stopping power.

Can I use these pads on a road bike?

These pads are specifically designed for mountain bike brake systems and geometries; they are not intended for road-specific brake calipers.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Ensure the rotor is clean of contaminants. If the noise persists, check if the pads were properly bedded-in and perform a few more controlled stops.

Braking feels inconsistent or 'mushy'

Check the brake system for air bubbles and ensure the hydraulic lines are bled correctly. Also, inspect the pad thickness to ensure they are not worn down past the wear indicator.

Pads seem to wear out faster than expected

Verify that your rotor is not warped or damaged, as uneven rotor surfaces can cause accelerated or uneven pad wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability in harsh weather conditions
  • Consistent bite point during long descents
  • Highly resistant to mud-related wear
  • Reliable stopping power across all seasons

Cons

  • May require a longer bed-in period than organic pads
  • Can be slightly louder in wet conditions compared to resin compounds
  • Specific to Magura Marta, MT5, and MT7 systems only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pads are precision-engineered for compatibility with Magura Marta, MT5, and MT7 brake systems. Before installation, ensure the brake rotor is clean and free of oils or old debris by using an isopropyl alcohol wipe. When installing, ensure the pad retention pin or screw is tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications. After installation, perform a bed-in procedure by executing 10 to 15 moderate speed stops on a flat, safe surface to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor. Avoid excessive braking immediately after installation, as this can cause premature glazing.
