Frequently Asked Questions

Which Campagnolo gravel brake calipers are these pads compatible with?
These pads fit the Campagnolo Ekar hydraulic flat-mount caliper — the only Campagnolo caliper used for gravel, all-road and adventure riding.
Which compound is best for Campagnolo Ekar gravel riding?
• Enduro Pro Ultimate → steep gravel, heavy riders, bikepacking • Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic → best all-round gravel performance • Factory Racing Stealth → quiet mixed-terrain riding • Factory Racing Green → longest life in mud, sand and dust • Sintered (Metallic) → winter gravel, wet contamination & deep mud
Does Campagnolo Ekar wear brake pads quickly on gravel?
Yes. Gravel introduces dust, grit, mud, sand and vibration, which can cause pads to wear 2–3× faster than in road use. Regular pad inspection is recommended.
How do I know when my Campagnolo Ekar pads need replacing?
Replace pads when: • friction material reaches 1mm • braking becomes noisy under load • bites feels weak or inconsistent • descents require more lever pull
Do Ekar brake pads require bedding-in?
Yes — perform 10–15 controlled stops from medium speed, gradually increasing braking force. This improves: • bite • consistency • noise reduction • pad lifespan
