Kool-Stop Steel Disc Pads

These pads are specifically designed for Formula Mega, One, R1, C1, and Oro series hydraulic systems. Please verify your specific caliper model before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Kool-Stop's organic compound is formulated to provide consistent, predictable stopping power in both wet and dry conditions. While metallic pads often last longer in extreme mud, organic pads typically offer a quieter, more modulated feel that many riders prefer for technical control.

The steel backing plate provides superior structural integrity and heat resistance compared to lighter materials. This ensures the pad remains stable under heavy braking loads, preventing warping during long, aggressive descents.

Yes, like all disc brake pads, these require a short bedding-in process. We recommend performing several controlled stops on a flat, safe surface to properly transfer a layer of pad material to the rotor for optimal bite.

Organic compounds are generally quieter than metallic or sintered alternatives. While some noise is possible depending on rotor condition and contamination, these pads are engineered to minimize squeal and vibration.
