Ideal for riders seeking reliable 4 piston brake pads, mountain bike brake pads, or bike disc brake pads for specific Guide and G2 systems.
- SOFTER COMPOUND FOR INSTANT BRAKING – Crafted with a softer compound, these bike brake pads deliver a strong initial bite, giving you quick and controlled stops with minimal effort. Ideal for riders needing a direct replacement for SRAM brake pads, these bike brakes pads provide a smooth, controlled feel for every stop.
- QUIET AND SMOOTH PERFORMANCE – Designed for a quiet ride, our piston disc brake pads eliminate the common squeal associated with metallic pads, giving you a silent, enjoyable experience. Perfect for riders who prefer peaceful trails, these bicycle brake pads help you focus on the ride without any noisy distractions.

With minimal break-in required, these mountain bike brake pads are an excellent bike brake pads replacement, offering a strong initial bite and dependable stopping power from the very start.
- REDUCED BRAKE FADE FOR RELIABLE STOPPING – Made to resist brake fade, these bike brake pads offer consistent braking on long, intense rides, especially on downhill routes. While not as long-lasting as metallic options, they outperform resin pads in durability and provide a dependable choice for regular riders in need of high-performance bike disc brake pads. Packaging may vary.
Compatibility List: The SRAM Guide Brake Pads fit the following brakes: SRAM Guide R, RS, RSC, T, G2 RSC, Guide G2, Ultimates, XO Trail. Does not fit Codes, Guide RE DB8.
Ceramic Pads:
- Softer compound provides better initial bite than metallic.
- Quiet, no really, they are very quiet.
- Easy and quick to “bed in.”
- Less brake fade than resin pads.
- Not as strong in wet and sloppy conditions, but still provide great initial bite.
- May not last as long as metallic, but lasts way longer than resin.
Metallic Pads (aka Sintered):
- Harder compound lacks initial bite, but provides max stopping power under heavy load.
- Long lasting.
- Take a longer time to “bed in.”
- Can be noisy if it’s wet.
- Good heat transfer and better on long downhills.
- Good for cold weather, mud and wet conditions.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match your pads either. I often run metallic up front and ceramic in the rear. If you have a lot of long hills your area, we suggest reaching for the Metallic compound. If you braking is quick or you’re in a relatively flat area, we suggest the Ceramic.
