Full details
The SwissStop Disc 28 E Endurance brake pads are engineered for cyclists who demand long-lasting performance and reliable stopping power during varied riding conditions. Ideal for commuters, endurance riders, and trail enthusiasts, these organic resin-based pads offer a balance of consistent modulation and quiet operation that is gentle on brake rotors. While they deliver exceptional stability under heat, users should note that as organic pads, their lifespan may vary significantly based on environmental riding conditions like mud, grit, and extreme moisture.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with my Shimano Deore brakes?
Yes, they are compatible with many Deore models including the BR-M6100, BR-M6000, and BR-M615.
Can I use these pads on an electric bike?
Yes, they are suitable for e-bike use, though their lifespan may be shorter due to the increased weight and speed of the bicycle.
Do I need to sand my rotors before installing these pads?
It is not required unless the old pads have left uneven deposits or if you are switching from metallic to organic pads. A thorough cleaning is usually sufficient.
How can I tell when these pads need replacing?
Replace the pads when the friction material thickness is less than 0.5mm.
Are these metallic or organic pads?
These are organic resin-based pads, which are preferred for their quiet operation and superior modulation.
Troubleshooting
Brakes are squealing
Ensure the pads were bedded in correctly and that there is no oil contamination on the rotor. Clean rotors with a dedicated degreaser or isopropyl alcohol.
Braking feels inconsistent or 'spongy'
This is often a sign of air in the hydraulic lines. Check if your brake system requires a fluid bleed.
Rapid wear of pads
Check if your riding conditions involve excessive grit, sand, or mud, which act as an abrasive. Frequent cleaning of the calipers can help extend pad life.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent modulation and control
- Quiet operation due to organic resin formula
- Rotor-friendly material reduces wear on hardware
- Maintains braking consistency at higher temperatures
- Straightforward installation process
Cons
- Organic compound may wear faster in extremely wet or gritty conditions
- Not intended for extreme downhill racing where metallic pads are preferred
- Requires proper bedding-in process for peak performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing these pads is straightforward, though it is critical to ensure your calipers are clean and free of debris before insertion. These pads are compatible with various Shimano series including XTR (BR-M9000), XT (BR-M8100/M8000), SLX (BR-M7100/M675), and Deore models, as well as specific FSA and Rever systems.
Best Practices:
- Always clean your rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove oil or residue before installing new pads.
- Perform a proper bed-in procedure: perform 15–20 light to moderate stops from a moderate speed on a safe, flat surface to transfer pad material onto the rotor.
- Avoid using harsh solvents when cleaning the bike, as they can contaminate the pads and cause permanent noise or performance issues.
