Jagwire Mountain Sport Disc Brake Pads

The semi-metallic compound is designed to give you the best of both worlds. It offers the quiet, predictable bite of a resin pad while providing the extended durability and heat resistance typically associated with metallic pads.

These pads are specifically engineered for compatibility with Avid BB5, BB7, Juicy, and Elixir series brakes. Always double-check your current brake caliper model before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

While no disc brake pad is completely silent in extreme mud, the semi-metallic compound is formulated to minimize noise compared to full-metallic pads. They perform reliably in a wide range of weather conditions without the aggressive squeal often found in harder compounds.

The steel backing plate provides a rigid, durable foundation for the friction material. This ensures consistent contact with the rotor and prevents the pad from flexing under heavy braking, which helps maintain a firm, responsive lever feel.

These are excellent all-purpose pads for trail and mountain riding. However, if you are doing heavy, sustained downhill riding that generates extreme heat, you might prefer a full-metallic compound, which is specifically optimized for high-heat, high-intensity scenarios.
