FAQs

How often should I replace the brake pads?

Replacement frequency depends on usage and riding conditions. Inspect the pads regularly and replace them when the friction material is worn down.

Can I use these pads with any brake rotor?

While these pads are compatible with most rotors, ensure they are in good condition and free from contaminants. Using rotors designed for the intended use is highly recommended.

What is the bedding-in process?

Bedding in is a process of gradually heating the pads and rotor to establish an initial friction layer. Perform several moderate braking applications to achieve this.

What should I do if my brakes are making noise?

First, clean the rotors with brake cleaner. Make sure the pads are properly aligned and not rubbing on the rotor. If the noise persists, it may indicate pad contamination or wear.

How do I clean my brake rotors?

Use a dedicated brake cleaner and a clean cloth. Avoid touching the rotors with your bare hands, as this can introduce oil and contaminants.

Are these brake pads suitable for all types of riding?

These pads are designed for e-MTB and Enduro riding. They are optimized for high-performance and demanding conditions.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or spongy.

Check for air in the brake lines. Bleed the brakes if necessary. Ensure proper bedding-in of the pads.

Brakes are noisy.

Clean the rotors with brake cleaner. Check for contamination on the pads. Ensure the pads are properly aligned and not rubbing the rotor.

Brakes fade during long descents.

Check for heat-related issues. Allow brakes to cool and make sure you're using proper braking techniques (avoid dragging the brakes).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sharp initial bite for instant stopping power.
  • Exceptional heat resistance prevents brake fade on long descents.
  • Consistent braking performance under heavy loads and high speeds.
  • Precise modulation for fine control in technical terrain.

Cons

  • Requires proper bedding-in for optimal performance.
  • May require more frequent replacement compared to standard pads depending on use.
  • Performance is dependent on proper setup and compatibility with your braking system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your bike's brake system. These pads are designed for Code R systems.
  2. Installation: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing brake pads.
  3. Bedding-in: After installation, properly bed in the pads by performing several controlled braking cycles. This process is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Avoid hard braking during this initial phase.
  4. Cleaning: Clean rotors regularly with a dedicated brake cleaner. Avoid contaminating the pads with oil or grease.
  5. Inspection: Regularly inspect the pads for wear and tear. Replace them when the friction material is worn down to the backing plate.
  6. Storage: Store pads in a clean, dry place when not in use.
