DescriptionOur SRAM Guide Brake Pads come in two awe inspiring compounds, Ceramic and Metallic. These are a direct replacement for several of SRAM’s 4 piston brakes. See the list below for a complete list of compatible brakes.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 in your area, we suggest reaching for the metallic compound. If your braking is quick or you’re in a relatively flat area, we suggest the ceramic. 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.
