The Ashima Semi-Metal Disc Brake Pads are designed for dedicated mountain bikers who require consistent stopping power across varying terrain and weather conditions. These pads offer a balance between durability and performance, making them an ideal upgrade for those who frequently ride in muddy or demanding environments; however, they require a proper bedding-in process to achieve their maximum frictional efficiency.

Yes, these pads are compatible with the SRAM G2 series, along with the Guide and Avid X0 Trail/Elixir Trail models.
It is not required, but it is highly recommended to clean your existing rotors thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove old pad residue.
Longevity depends heavily on riding style, weight, and environmental conditions (mud/grit), but semi-metal compounds generally outlast organic pads.
Yes, their heat-resistant semi-metallic construction is suitable for demanding riding, including gravity-focused disciplines.
Check for proper caliper alignment or verify that your pistons are retracting fully. If pistons are stuck, they may need professional maintenance.
Ensure the rotor is clean and that the bedding-in process was completed correctly. If contamination persists, clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol.
The pads are likely not bedded-in. Perform the recommended 10-15 hard stops to transfer pad material to the rotor.
This is often related to air in the brake lines. Bleed the brake system according to the manufacturer's instructions.
These pads are compatible with Avid XO Trail, Avid Elixir 7 Trail, Avid Elixir 9 Trail, and the full SRAM Guide series (Ultimate, RSC, RS, R, and T). Installation requires removing the wheel and the old brake pads from the caliper. Always retract the brake pistons fully before inserting the new Ashima pads. After installation, it is critical to perform a bedding-in procedure: find a safe, flat area and perform 10-15 controlled, medium-to-hard stops from moderate speed without locking the wheels. This process deposits a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor surface, ensuring the highest level of stopping power.
