Product Information

Full details

The Sinter Red series disc brake pads are designed for mountain bikers and e-bike riders who prioritize consistent stopping power and longevity. Featuring a specialized s514 compound with ceramic particles, these pads deliver a smooth, predictable lever feel and exceptional durability, outperforming many standard aftermarket options. While they provide excellent all-round braking performance, they are specifically engineered for compatibility with specific SRAM and Avid caliper models, limiting their use to those systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with my SRAM G2 Ultimate brakes?

No, these pads are specifically for the Code, Guide RE, DB8, and G2 RE models. Please check your specific caliper model number.

Do I need to sand my rotors before using these pads?

It is highly recommended to clean the rotors thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. Sanding is only necessary if the rotors have significant glaze from previous pads.

How long do these pads last compared to stock pads?

The Red series is engineered for high durability. While exact lifespan depends on rider weight and terrain, they are designed to outlast many standard factory-issued pads.

Can I use these for downhill racing?

Yes, they provide excellent heat resistance, though if you prioritize maximum initial bite for aggressive racing, you may want to consult other options in the Sinter range.

What does the s514 compound mean?

The s514 is Sinter's specific medium-compound formulation that utilizes ceramic particles to balance stopping power with wear resistance.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or inconsistent after installation.

Ensure the pads are fully bedded-in and the rotors are free of any contaminants or oils.

Brakes are making a squealing noise.

Check for contaminated pads or a glazed rotor surface; clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and lightly sand the pad surface if necessary.

Lever feel is too soft.

Check your hydraulic system for air bubbles and perform a brake bleed, as the pads cannot compensate for trapped air in the lines.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly longer pad life compared to stock alternatives
  • Consistent and predictable modulation for better bike control
  • Quiet operation due to the unique medium compound blend
  • Direct performance improvement over common third-party pads

Cons

  • Limited to specific SRAM, Avid, and DB8 caliper compatibility
  • May require a longer break-in period to reach full performance
  • Not suitable for riders seeking a high-initial-bite racing compound

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for your Sinter Red pads:

  • Compatibility: These pads are designed for SRAM Code R, Code RSC, Guide RE, DB8, G2 RE, Motive, and Avid Code (2011-2016) calipers.
  • Installation: Always clean your rotors with isopropyl alcohol before installing new pads to prevent contamination.
  • Bedding-in: After installation, perform 15-20 moderate-speed stops on a flat, safe surface to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor.
  • Care: Avoid using aerosol sprays or cleaners near the caliper to prevent oil or grease from contaminating the pads, which can cause glazing or squealing.
