Product Information

Full details

The SwissStop Disc 27 E (Endurance) brake pads are designed for gravity-focused riders, including downhill, enduro, and e-bike enthusiasts who prioritize long-term reliability and consistent stopping power. Featuring a high-endurance organic compound, these pads excel at modulation and thermal stability while remaining gentle on rotors. Please note that each package includes only one pair of pads, so you will need to purchase two sets if you are servicing both the front and rear wheels of your bicycle.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads suitable for E-bikes?

Yes, the E-compound is specifically engineered to handle the increased weight and heat generated by electric mountain bikes.

Do I need to sand my rotors before installing these?

While not strictly required if your current rotors are in good condition, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can help remove old pad deposits and help the new pads bed-in faster.

Is the mounting hardware included?

The pads typically come with the necessary backing plates, but you should reuse your existing pad retaining spring/clip from your caliper.

Can I use these for wet-weather riding?

Yes, these pads perform well in various conditions, though organic pads may show accelerated wear rates if frequently used in abrasive mud or grit.

How many pads do I get in one package?

Each package contains one pair of pads, which is sufficient for one brake caliper.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Ensure the pads were bed-in correctly. If the noise persists, check for rotor contamination (oils/grease) and clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol.

Brake lever feels spongy or soft

This is often due to air in the hydraulic system rather than the pads. Bleed your brake system according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Reduced stopping power

Check the pad thickness. If the friction material is worn down to less than 0.5mm, replace the pads immediately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability in high-stress environments
  • Predictable and smooth braking modulation
  • Quieter than sintered metallic pads
  • Gentle on brake rotors to prevent premature grooving
  • Consistent performance even at high operating temperatures

Cons

  • Sold as a single pair per package (not a full bike set)
  • Organic compounds may wear faster than full metallic pads in heavy mud
  • Slightly lower initial bite compared to aggressive race-specific compounds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Disc 27 E is straightforward due to the standard geometry of the backing plate. Always ensure your brake rotors are cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before installing new pads to prevent contamination.

Compatibility

These pads are compatible with many popular 4-piston calipers, including:

  • Shimano: XTR (BR-M9120), XT (BR-M8120, BR-M8020), SLX (BR-M7120), DEORE (BR-M6120, BR-MT420), SAINT (BR-M820, BR-M810), ZEE (BR-M640), and BR-MT520.
  • TRP: Quadiem, Quadiem SL, and Slate T4.
  • Tektro: HD-M750, HD-M745, HD-M735, and HD-E725.

Care Instructions

To maximize the life of your pads, perform a proper 'bed-in' process by executing several controlled stops from moderate speed on a flat surface after installation. Avoid long, dragging stops during the first few rides to ensure the pad material transfers evenly onto the rotor surface.
