Brakes & Pads

To keep your Avid brakes functioning properly, check your pads for wear and replace them when necessary. Organic compound pads are softer for quieter braking and increased modulation, while metallic pads dissipate heat better and last a bit longer. Two pads, one retraction spring and a mounting bolt are included (enough for one brake) in each pad set. And, choose an aluminum backing plate if you're really counting the grams.

Smooth, controlled braking is yours with Avid's HS1 Rotor. It utilizes cross-drilled technology to dissipate heat, save weight, and give you a consistent feel at the lever and predictable speed control in all conditions.

Smooth, controlled braking is yours with Avid's HSX Rotor. It utilizes cross-drilled technology to dissipate heat and shed water, giving you a consistent feel at the lever and predictable speed control in all conditions. And, an aluminum carrier cuts down on the weight.

When you’re tackling rough trails, very little affects your confidence and control more than your brakes. With increased negative volume to combat heat expansion, plus powerful larger-caliper pistons, Avid's DB3 gives you the power and modulation to up your dirt-shredding game. Increased power comes courtesy of a super-stiff, 2-piece caliper that contains larger pistons and DOT 4 fluid for better heat dissipation and resistance to brake fade.
