Gold pads

Most powerful braking of any pad material

Massive lifetime pad for hardened discs only

Sintered copper construction

Great for long life cross country use

Not recommended for downhill racing

These "USA made" sintered copper pads will last longer and brake stronger than anything you can buy. Do NOT use these on discs marked RESIN pad as such discs will be UNHARDENED steel and these pads could damage soft materials. Supplied with uprated springs in spring based systems.

Red pads

High friction pad for downhill riding

Low rotor damage and minimal heat transfer

Shorter lifetime but greater performance

Minimum heat transfer to hydraulics

Can be used on non hardened or hardened discs

This is a RESIN pad

For downhill use the RED grade has a higher heat threshold but has the added benefit of not overheating the brakes with excessive heat transfer which would cause softening of your brake lines. Supplied with heavy duty retraction springs in spring based systems.
