Frequently Asked Questions

Which SRAM road brake models are these pads compatible with?
These pads fit all major SRAM road hydraulic disc systems including Red, Force, Rival and Apex HRD, as well as Avid BB7 Road and BB5 mechanical disc brakes.
What compound is best for SRAM road brakes?
For maximum power and heat resistance, choose Enduro Pro. For quiet, balanced braking, choose Factory Racing Stealth. For durability and all-weather use, choose Sintered (Metallic).
Do SRAM road brakes require bedding in?
Yes. Proper bedding-in improves power, reduces noise and prevents glazing. Make 10–15 controlled stops from moderate speed without fully locking the wheel.
How often should SRAM road pads be replaced?
Replace pads when the braking material reaches ~1mm or if power drops noticeably. Wet weather, steep terrain and frequent braking will shorten pad life.
Are these pads suitable for SRAM DOT-fluid hydraulic systems?
Yes. All Gorilla Brakes SRAM road pads are fully compatible with SRAM’s DOT-fluid hydraulic and SRAM's new Mineral oil disc platforms and Avid mechanical road calipers.
