Frequently Asked Questions

What are Enduro Ceramic brake pads?
Enduro Ceramic brake pads use a low-metallic ceramic friction compound bonded to a red back plate. They are designed to provide smooth, consistent braking with improved durability compared to organic and standard semi-metallic pads.
What riding styles are Enduro Ceramic brake pads best for?
Enduro Ceramic pads are best suited to urban riding, gravel and hybrid bikes, light trail use, fitness riding, and casual e-bike applications where reliability and longevity are more important than maximum bite.
Are Enduro Ceramic brake pads suitable for full-power e-MTBs or downhill riding?
No. Enduro Ceramic pads are not designed for downhill, bike-park, or full-power e-MTB use. Riders using heavier bikes, high-torque motors, or aggressive riding styles should choose Enduro Pro or sintered compounds instead.
How do Enduro Ceramic brake pads differ from Ceramic Nano-Tech pads?
Enduro Ceramic pads are more durable and better suited to everyday use than Ceramic Nano-Tech pads. Ceramic Nano-Tech prioritises quiet braking and smooth feel for lighter bikes, while Enduro Ceramic offers longer pad life and greater consistency under repeated braking.
Are Enduro Ceramic brake pads noisy or harsh on rotors?
No. Enduro Ceramic pads are designed for low noise and smooth modulation. The low-metallic ceramic compound is rotor-friendly and produces less wear than aggressive sintered compounds.
Do Enduro Ceramic brake pads perform well in wet conditions?
Enduro Ceramic pads perform reliably in mixed and damp conditions, but they are not intended for constant mud, extreme wet weather, or abrasive environments. For those conditions, sintered pads are a better choice.
Do Enduro Ceramic brake pads need bedding in?
Yes. Proper bedding-in is required to achieve optimal braking performance, pad life, and rotor compatibility. Gradual braking cycles help transfer pad material evenly to the rotor surface.
Are Enduro Ceramic brake pads compatible with all brake brands?
Yes. Enduro Ceramic brake pads are available for all major brake systems, including Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Hope, TRP, Tektro, Formula, Hayes, and many OEM and e-bike brake systems.
