SRAM Mountain Bike Brake Pads FAQs

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

Do SRAM 2-piston and 4-piston brakes use the same pads?

No. SRAM 2-piston brakes such as Level use a smaller pad shape, while 4-piston systems like Motive, Maven, Code, G2 and Guide RE use a larger pad with increased surface area. Always match the pad shape to your caliper.

Which of the available compounds should I compare?

Enduro Pro Ultimate Orange focuses on braking performance and pad life for demanding descents and heavier loads. Enduro Pro Semi Metallic Blue combines versatile braking with heat management for trail riding, touring and long descents.

Which compounds are e-bike rated, and which do you recommend for heavy loads?

All Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds are e-bike rated. For heavy cargo, loaded touring and demanding descents, we recommend Enduro Pro Ultimate Orange or Enduro Pro Semi Metallic Blue in the correct fitment.

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.
