Jagwire Mountain Sport Disc Brake Pads

These pads are designed for general mountain biking and trail riding. The semi-metallic compound offers a versatile balance of stopping power and durability, making them a reliable choice for everything from technical descents to flowy singletrack.

These pads are compatible with several high-performance systems, including Shimano Deore XT M8020, Saint M810/M820, Zee M640, and various TRP Quadiem and Slate models. Always double-check your current caliper model number against this list before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Semi-metallic pads sit in the middle ground. They generally offer more bite and heat management than organic pads, but are quieter and less aggressive on your rotors than full metallic pads, making them an excellent 'do-it-all' option for most riders.

The steel backing plate provides a rigid, durable foundation for the friction material. This construction helps ensure consistent engagement and prevents the pad from warping under the high heat generated during long, sustained braking.

Yes, it is essential to bed-in your new pads after installation. Find a safe, flat area and perform several controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor, which optimizes braking performance and reduces noise.
