FAQ

What is the difference between sintered and organic brake pads?

Sintered pads use compressed metal particles fused under heat and pressure, making them more durable and heat-resistant than organic compounds. They perform better in wet conditions and last longer under heavy braking, though they can take longer to bed in.

Will sintered pads wear down my rotors faster?

Sintered pads are harder than organic compounds and can cause slightly more rotor wear over time. However, their extended pad life and wet-weather performance make them the preferred choice for most trail and enduro riders.

Do I need to bed in new brake pads after installing these?

Yes. All new brake pads require a proper bedding-in process to transfer an even layer of pad material to the rotor surface. Perform 10 to 20 progressive stops from moderate speed before riding in demanding conditions.

Best For

Trail and enduro mountain bikers running Formula R1R, R1, T1, RX, or RO brakes who ride in wet or technical conditions and want sintered pad performance with the consistent modulation Formula calipers are known for.
