35BIKES AVID/SRAM GUIDE, XO TRAIL, ELIXIR 7 TRAIL, ELIXIR 9 TRAIL BRAKE PADS

Sintered disc brake pads offer the highest levels on longevity. This compound is created by compressing metallic particles together under high pressures. Sintered brake pads are known for performing specifically well in harsh conditions. Our metallic composition helps them last well in wet weather conditions where grit and grime can wear through softer compound brake pads quicker. Because they are, at heart, a metallic compound they deal well with high temperatures, the kind that are often associated with steep or fast riding, for this reason they are often the go to choice for enduro or downhill racers.

Semi-metallic or semi metal disc brake pads are designed to hit the sweet spot between organic and sintered brake pads. Semi metal brake pads are manufactured from an organic compound that is infused with metallic fibres. Our organic compound allows the pad to bed in quickly and offer great braking performance. The metallic friction compound adds longevity to the pad and also helps to ensure that the braking performance is consistent even on longer descents. Our semi metal pads are known for performing well in all trail conditions, the softer organic compound helps rotors last a little longer than a standard sintered brake pad.

Our semi metal disc brakes pads are kind on brake rotors and kind on your environment (aka low noise)
