Key Features of Our Quiet Brake Pads
1. Advanced Noise Reduction (ANR) Compound
The core of our quiet disc brake pads is the ANR compound. This technology tackles one of the most common braking complaints — noise. While there’s a minor trade-off in ultimate braking power and wear life, the reduction in noise is worth it for riders seeking the quietest braking possible.
2. High Fiber Content for Vibration Absorption
Our pads contain a high percentage of advanced fibres that absorb vibration before it becomes audible noise. This significantly reduces squeal, especially in wet and muddy conditions.
3. Ceramic and Multiple Friction Materials
We use a blend of ceramic, Kevlar, and other friction materials to keep braking frequencies outside the human hearing range. This ensures a near-silent ride without sacrificing too much performance.
4. Balanced Longevity and Quietness
Traditionally, harder compounds last longer but are noisier, while softer compounds are quiet but wear faster. Our new ANR compound strikes the perfect balance, making it ideal for road, enduro, and gravel riders.
Compatibility
These quiet disc brake pads are available for all major disc brake systems, including Shimano, SRAM, Hope, Magura, Formula, Hayes, TRP, and Tektro. Whatever your bike, you can benefit from ANR technology.
FAQs – Quiet Disc Brake Pads
What are the quietest disc brake pads?
Our Advanced Noise Reduction pads are designed to be among the quietest available, using a unique ceramic and fibre blend to absorb vibrations.
Do ceramic pads squeal less?
Yes — ceramic pads tend to be quieter than sintered pads, especially in dry conditions. Our ceramic disc brake pads are a great option for silent performance.
How do I stop my bike brakes from squealing?
Switching to a semi-metallic or ceramic pad and ensuring proper bed-in can dramatically reduce brake squeal.
Will quiet brake pads last as long?
Our ANR pads are designed to balance quietness and lifespan. While some ultra-soft compounds wear faster, our blend ensures you get both silence and durability.
