All of our disc pad compounds are engineered for the toughest braking conditions while still providing rotor friendliness through out the life of the pad. We offer organic, sintered, aluminum back plate, E-bike and Aero-Kool options for all your cycling needs.
Kool-Stop disc pads are made with organic materials that are blended an bound together using a resin. The compounds do include small amounts of metal to improve the braking formula but though this is a mined material the pads are largely organic. The term semi metallic can also be used. We have found during testing that our disc pads are Rotor Friendly and provide high performance braking throughout the life of the pad.
