Sinter Disc Brake Pad 001 Shimano A Type - Red s514 Compound

Set of Shimano A Type brake pads, including 2 brake pads (left and right), spring, pin, bedding in instructions.

All Round Performance

These brake pads offer consistent performance, thanks to their medium compound and friction stabilizers. They provide reliable braking with a smooth lever feel and excellent durability. The inclusion of ceramic particles in the s514 compound ensures a soft bite and strong resistance to wear, making them a great long lasting option.

15% Improvement in friction performance compared to Shimano G03A pads

29% Improvement in friction performance compared to Swissstop 28C pads

Why Sinter makes organic brake pads only

Organic pads are comprised of different types of fibres and materials. Each compound is a fine balance between lubricants and abrasives. It's a little bit like baking a cake - small changes to ingredients or combinations can result in significantly different braking characteristics.

Sinter use fibres such as kevlar, ceramics, clay minerals and carbon combined with resins. Their friction materials R&D lab go to great lengths to develop pads that deliver particular characteristics to suit individual riding styles and perform exceptionally.

One of the greatest benefits of organic pads is that they transfer less heat into the caliper via the rotor. They don't conduct heat as readily as metallic pads so the braking energy is retained in the pad and rotor - the result is a more stable braking system with greater modulation and predictability.
