How do ceramic brake pads compare to HOPE organic pads?
Ceramic Nano-Tech pads offer quieter braking, smoother modulation, and more consistent feel than standard HOPE organic pads. They are intended for riders who prioritise comfort and control over maximum braking power.
Are ceramic brake pads suitable for HOPE road and gravel brakes?
Yes. Ceramic Nano-Tech pads work very well with HOPE road and gravel disc brake systems, providing strong cold bite, predictable braking feel, and reduced noise on long rides and mixed surfaces.
Can ceramic brake pads be used on HOPE e-bikes?
Ceramic Nano-Tech pads are suitable for light e-MTB systems using HOPE brakes where braking loads remain moderate. For full-power or heavily loaded e-MTB use, higher heat-resistant compounds such as Enduro Pro or Factory Racing are recommended.
Do ceramic brake pads cause increased rotor wear on HOPE systems?
No. Ceramic Nano-Tech brake pads are gentle on HOPE rotors and typically cause less rotor wear than sintered brake pads, making them suitable for everyday riding and long-term rotor durability.
