Clarks EVRS858 Disc Pads

E-bikes are heavier and travel at higher average speeds than traditional bicycles, which puts significantly more heat and stress on the braking system. These pads use a semi-metallic compound with high carbon and brass content to handle that extra thermal load without fading.

The EVRS858 pads are designed to fit Avid Code R, Avid Code 2011 and newer models, as well as Shimano XT M755 and M756 calipers. Please double-check your current caliper model number before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Semi-metallic pads offer a better balance of durability and stopping power for heavy-duty use. While organic pads might be quieter, they often wear out too quickly under the weight and torque of an e-bike; these pads provide the longevity and bite required for heavier machines.

Yes, you should always bed in new brake pads to ensure optimal performance. After installation, perform a series of controlled stops from moderate speed on a safe, flat surface to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor, which helps prevent squealing and improves initial bite.

Because these pads contain metallic elements like brass and iron, they may produce slightly more noise than soft organic pads, especially in wet or dusty conditions. However, this is a standard trade-off for the increased stopping power and heat resistance they provide.
