Powerful, progressive, and reliable braking—on carbon or aluminum rims

On a road bike with rim brakes, everything depends on the contact between the pad and the braking surface. A good pad means more control, better braking distances, and confidence that stays with you when the slope gets steep—or when the weather changes.

Choosing the right pad: carbon or aluminum
Carbon rims and aluminum rims do not brake in the same way.
For carbon rims: the compound is designed to offer consistent power and good modulation, while protecting the braking surface.
For aluminum rims: the compound aims for crisp, durable braking with controlled wear.

Consistent braking = safety
The quality of the brake pad directly influences:

• braking power
• braking distance
• progressiveness (modulation)
• braking stability over distance
• performance in wet conditions

Installation and maintenance
Easy to install, brake pads can be quickly replaced to maintain optimal braking performance.
