Brake pads, discs & brake pads for road bikes

Your road bike 's braking system is crucial to your safety and performance. Whether you're riding competitively or for endurance rides, choosing the right brake pads , rotors , and brake shoes is essential for precise and reliable braking in all conditions. Discover our wide range of products to improve your braking.

Types of braking systems

  • Disc Brakes: Disc braking provides superior stopping power, particularly effective in the rain or on varied terrain.
  • Rim brakes: More traditional, rim brakes are often lighter and easier to maintain while still providing good braking power on dry roads.

Brake pads

Brake pads are essential for effective rim braking. Depending on the type of rim, you will need specific pads:

  • Aluminum rim pads: They are designed to provide excellent grip and minimal wear, while being effective in dry conditions.
  • Carbon Rim Pads: These pads are designed for carbon wheels, optimizing braking performance while preserving the structure of the rim.

Brake discs

Brake discs ensure powerful and consistent braking, even in difficult conditions. You will find discs suitable for different types of disc brakes :

  • Direct Mount Brake Discs: These discs are designed to be installed directly onto the wheel hub, providing a more stable braking system.
  • Center Lock Brake Discs: This system allows for easier and faster disc mounting, with a secure fit for maximum performance.

Brake pads

Brake pads are a key component of the disc braking system. They are available in several materials to suit your needs:

  • Organic pads: Offering smooth and quiet braking, they are ideal for dry conditions and for preserving the rim.
  • Metallic Pads: These pads are more resistant to heat and wear, providing better performance in wet conditions or under heavy load.

Choosing the right braking system

Choosing the right braking system depends on your cycling style and riding conditions. For cyclists looking for optimal performance, disc brakes are recommended, especially if you ride in wet weather or on varied terrain. Rim brakes are ideal for cyclists who prefer lightweight braking and riding on dry roads.

The benefits of quality pads, discs and brake pads

  • Powerful braking: Quality discs and pads provide optimal braking power for added safety.
  • Increased longevity: Our products are designed to last, even after many kilometers and under difficult conditions.
  • Simplified Maintenance: Brake pads and shoes are easy to maintain and replace to maintain optimal performance.
