SRAM Disc Brake Pads

Sintered pads are designed for high-heat environments and aggressive riding. They offer superior stopping power and durability compared to organic pads, making them the standard choice for downhill and enduro riders who frequently encounter steep, sustained descents.

Yes, these pads are specifically designed for SRAM Code (R, RSC, and older models) as well as Guide RE brake calipers. They use the Pad Shape Number 58, ensuring a precise fit for these 4-piston systems.

Steel backing plates are more robust and resistant to warping under extreme heat compared to aluminum alternatives. While they add a negligible amount of weight, the increased durability and consistent performance make them the preferred choice for heavy-duty gravity riding.

Sintered pads are known for being more durable, but they can be louder than organic compounds, especially in wet or muddy conditions. This is a common trade-off for the increased stopping power and longevity they provide.

Yes, you must bed in your new pads to ensure optimal performance. After installation, perform several controlled stops from moderate speed on a flat surface to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor, which prevents glazing and improves bite.
