🔍 SRAM Pad Sizes Explained

SRAM brakes use four different pad sizes. It's critical to get the correct size for your brake model:

EXTRA LARGE: Maven
LARGE: Code (2011+), Code Stealth, DB8, G2 RE, Guide RE
MEDIUM: Guide, G2, Trail, Level Stealth 4-Piston
SMALL: Level (2-piston), Road brakes (RED, Force, Rival)

Important: Maven pads are NOT compatible with Code despite both being 4-piston DH brakes. G2 and G2 RE also use different pad sizes!

Frequently Asked Questions

Which compound is best for SRAM Code brakes?

For SRAM Code brakes (4-piston), Gravity compound offers the strongest bite with excellent modulation for park and enduro riding. Sintered provides maximum durability for year-round riding and e-bikes. Trail compound works well for all-mountain riding with less aggressive demands.

Are SRAM Guide and Level pads the same?

No. SRAM Guide uses MEDIUM pad shape (also fits G2, Trail, Level Stealth 4-Piston). SRAM Level 2-piston uses SMALL pad shape (fits Level T, TL, TLM, Ultimate). Always verify your specific model before ordering as pad shapes differ significantly.

Do SRAM brakes need break-in bedding?

Yes. SRAM brakes require proper bedding for optimal performance. Perform 20-30 moderate stops from 25km/h, gradually building pressure. This transfers pad material to the rotor and ensures consistent braking. Skip this and you'll have poor initial performance.

Which pads fit SRAM G2 brakes?

SRAM G2 brakes use the same pad shape as Guide models. Our Guide pads (organic or sintered) are fully compatible with G2 Ultimate and G2 RSC models. Verify pad shape before ordering.

Why do my SRAM brakes feel weak?

Weak SRAM brakes are often caused by contaminated pads or rotors, improper bedding, or air in the system. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol, ensure pads aren't glazed, and re-bed them properly. If still weak, bleed your brakes.

Can I use organic pads on SRAM Code?

Yes. Organic pads work well on SRAM Code for riders who prioritize modulation over maximum power. Our Gravity organic pads offer strong initial bite with excellent feel. For maximum durability and wet performance, choose Sintered.

What's the difference between SRAM organic and metallic pads?

SRAM organic pads (like our Trail and Gravity) offer quieter operation and better modulation but wear faster. Sintered metallic pads last 2-3x longer, perform better in wet conditions, and handle heat better for long descents and e-bikes.

Do SRAM Maven pads fit other SRAM brakes?

No. SRAM Maven uses an EXTRA LARGE pad shape that is unique to Maven brakes. Maven pads do NOT fit Code, Guide, or other SRAM models. Code uses LARGE pads, while Guide uses MEDIUM pads. Always verify pad size for your specific brake model.

Which SRAM brake pads last longest?

Sintered pads last longest on SRAM brakes, typically 2-3x longer than organic pads. They're ideal for year-round North Shore riding, e-bikes, and riders who want maximum pad life. Trade-off is slightly less modulation than organic compounds. Or Gravity pads would be a good balance between the two.

Are aftermarket SRAM pads as good as OEM?

Yes. Our pads are manufactured with the same materials and tecniques. Many riders prefer aftermarket for better value and more compound choices. We offer Gravity, Trail, and Sintered versus SRAM's limited organic and metal options.
