These are replacement brake pad inserts from SRAM (by SwissStop) intended for carbon-rim road bikes. The compound is optimized to resist heat buildup, maintain consistent grip, and offer good modulation. They are compatible with road caliper brakes that use standard cartridge-type insert systems.

Use Case & Benefits:

• Ideal for road bikes with carbon rims, where using the correct pad compound is critical to prevent rim damage and preserve braking performance.

• Delivers reliable stopping power and modulation even under high speeds or long descents — good for road, cyclocross, or mixed-terrain carbon wheel use.

• Deep grooves in the pad help channel water away, making them more reliable in damp or wet conditions compared to basic rubber pads.
