Review on High-Performance Bike Brake Pads for Shimano Saint, Zee, XTR, Deore XT, and Tektro/TRP Models - Upgrade your Braking Efficiency! by Chris Jenkins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The e-bike compound is a medium-sintered last. Get Red Resin Ceramic Compound for eMTB!

Electric bike Gold The first one squeaks like a stuck pig. It took a couple of long, hard rides to settle down, and it's still not exactly quiet in dry conditions (most sintered pads squeak when wet but not dry). I can slow down; has been repairing bikes for over 30 years. If you buy this brand I would buy the red ceramic version even if you have an e-bike and especially for the front brake. Ideally you want a resin/ceramic front and sintered back for fairly even wear and better stopping power. I don't ride DH/Enduro road so YMMV.

Pros
  • Parts and components
Cons
  • Some little things
