Choose your compound

Sintered is a good choice for cold, wet and muddy riding. It generates substantial heat, which can transfer to the caliper faster than with other compounds in our range. For high-heat applications, we recommend Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds. Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

Brake Pads For Hayes Sole CX / MX / HFX-9 / Stroker FAQs

A little help with fitment, compounds and getting ready to ride.

Does the Stroker name alone identify the right pad?

No. Use the detailed caliper list and product outline. The list identifies Stroker Ryde and Ryde Comp alongside specific other legacy calipers; it should not be read as a blanket confirmation for every Stroker variant.

Which of the available compounds should I compare?

Sintered is a good choice for cold, wet and muddy riding. It generates substantial heat, which can transfer to the caliper faster than with other compounds in our range. For high-heat applications, we recommend Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds. Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

How should I prepare the rotor and bed in new pads?

Check the rotor’s condition, wear limit and permitted pad material. Follow the installation instructions for your caliper and our bedding-in guide, including rotor preparation when changing compounds.

What if I cannot identify the exact caliper or pad?

Send Gorilla Brakes a clear photo of the caliper markings and both sides of the old pad, with its dimensions if possible. We can help establish the pad shape before you choose a compound.
