Frequently Asked Questions

What are SRAM Asymmetric or Monoblock calipers?
These are single-piece calipers with an asymmetric pad fit—found on models like RED, Force eTap AXS, HydroR, and Level TLM Ultimate.
How do I know if I need asymmetric pads?
If your caliper is a newer monoblock design (no center seam), it requires asymmetric pads. Check your model or consult our fit guide.
Will these pads fit my SRAM RED eTap AXS brakes?
Only older RED monoblock calipers that use SRAM’s small asymmetric pad are compatible with this listing. Newer two-piece RED eTap AXS calipers use the standard small pad. Check the exact caliper marking and construction before ordering; if you are unsure, send clear photographs of the caliper and removed pad.
What about Force, Rival, or Apex?
Force uses different pad shapes by caliper generation. Rival 1 HRD and Rival 22 HRD use this small asymmetric pad. Rival eTap AXS and other newer two-piece SRAM road calipers use the standard small pad. Apex also varies by generation. Check the exact caliper marking before ordering; if you are unsure, send clear photographs of the caliper and removed pad.
Are these suitable for gravel or cyclocross?
Absolutely. Choose: • 🏁 Factory Racing for quiet, powerful all-surface control • 🏆 Enduro Pro for long-distance or steep gravel descents • 🔧 Standard for daily road/gravel mixed use
Can I recycle these pads?
Yes! Use our Brake Pad Recycling Program to return your worn pads responsibly.
