FAQ

What is a monoblock caliper and why does it need a specific pad?: Monoblock calipers are cast as a single piece rather than two bolted halves. This design provides greater stiffness and heat resistance. Monoblock pads use a specific shape that is not interchangeable with standard two-piece caliper pads.

What is the advantage of sintered compound over organic for demanding riding?: Sintered pads contain metal fibers that provide superior heat resistance and pad life compared to organic compounds, making them the correct choice for demanding conditions including sustained descents, wet and muddy riding, and e-bike applications.

Do I need to replace my rotors when switching to sintered pads?: Yes. If switching from organic to sintered (or vice versa), replace your rotors or thoroughly clean and bed in with the new compound on a fresh rotor surface for optimal performance.

Best For

Enduro, gravity, and e-bike riders running SRAM monoblock hydraulic disc calipers in wet, muddy, or sustained high-demand braking conditions where organic pads wear too quickly.
