Riding Styles Explained

  • E-Bike: High torque, more heat and heavier loads — requires heat-resistant compounds.
  • MTB: XC and trail riding need balanced bite, modulation and all-weather control.
  • Road: Smooth, quiet braking with excellent modulation and minimal rotor wear.
  • Gravel: Predictable braking across mixed terrain, mud and long endurance rides.
  • Commuter: Low-noise, all-weather, long-life pads for stop-start urban use.
  • Enduro: Demanding technical terrain requiring strong initial bite & heat stability.
  • Downhill: Extreme braking loads on long, steep descents requiring maximum heat control.
  • Cargo Bike: Extra weight + load distribution requires long-lasting, strong compounds.
