New bicycle brake pad from SDT Brakes
Safety and performance in cycling depend largely on the quality of the bicycle components. In this context, brake pads play an essential role, as they are responsible for ensuring effective and safe braking in various situations.
Today, we want to introduce you to the new bicycle brake pad from SDT Brakes, designed to offer optimal performance and meet the needs of both amateur cyclists and those practicing more demanding disciplines such as Enduro, XC, DH, E-bike, Gravel, and Road.
What are Brake Pads?
Brake pads are a fundamental component of a bicycle's braking system. Their main function is to generate friction against the brake disc to reduce speed or stop the movement of the bicycle. This friction translates into the ability to stop the bicycle safely and in a controlled manner. In simple terms, without quality brake pads, the braking system's response would be compromised, potentially negatively affecting the cyclist's safety.
There are different types of brake pads based on the material they are made from. Organic, metallic, and semi-metallic compounds are the most common in the market. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, organic brake pads typically offer a good balance between performance and durability and are ideal for those looking for an option with less wear on the brake discs.
On the other hand, metallic pads can provide greater braking capacity in extreme conditions, although they sometimes generate more noise and wear on the discs. In this sense, the innovation and technology applied in SDT Brakes' pads stand out by using a high-quality organic compound, known as OP-11.
Highlighted Features of Compound OP-11
The organic compound OP-11 is the heart of the brake pads we are presenting today. This material has been carefully selected and developed to achieve a perfect balance between quality, durability, and price. Some of its most notable features are:
- High-quality organic compound: Thanks to the formulation of OP-11, these pads provide consistent and effective friction, resulting in a smooth and safe braking response.
- Less wear on brake discs: The material composition significantly reduces wear on the brake discs, which not only improves the lifespan of the braking system but also reduces long-term maintenance costs.
- Increased braking power and modulation: One of the great advantages of this compound is the improvement in braking power, allowing the cyclist greater control and adjustment capability in different riding situations.
- Resistance and durability: Brake pads made with OP-11 are highly resistant, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding conditions.
- Noise-free operation: Noise reduction is another key feature, as a silent braking system not only enhances the user experience but also indicates proper interaction between the components.
These features make the SDT Brakes pads an ideal choice for those seeking reliability and performance without compromising comfort or safety.
Diversity in the World of Brake Pads
When discussing brake pads, it is important to know that there are several options on the market, each adapted to different needs and riding styles. Among the most common types are:
Organic Pads:
These are made from organic fibers and resins. They tend to be softer and offer gradual braking, resulting in greater modulation. They are ideal for normal conditions and for cyclists who do not require extreme performance, as their design reduces wear on the brake discs.
Metallic Pads:
Made from a mixture of metals and synthetic compounds, these pads are designed to provide great braking capacity in high-demand situations, such as extreme heat or difficult terrain. However, they can generate more noise and cause greater wear on the discs.
Semi-metallic Pads:
These are a combination of organic and metallic pads, attempting to balance the advantages of both. They provide good performance in various conditions, although they may not be as specific as either of the other two types.
The choice of pad type will depend on the riding style, type of bicycle, and usage conditions. In this sense, the OP-11 compound from SDT Brakes is aimed at those looking for a versatile and balanced option, perfect for a wide range of cycling disciplines.

Application and use of brake pads
The proper use of brake pads is essential to maximize their performance and ensure the safety of the cyclist. Below are some tips and considerations regarding their application:
Installation and Maintenance
- Professional Installation: It is advisable that the installation of the brake pads be performed by a professional or, alternatively, by carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect mounting can reduce the effectiveness of the braking system and create unnecessary risks.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodic inspection of the braking system is key to detecting any signs of wear or malfunction. Additionally, proper maintenance not only prolongs the lifespan of the pads but also protects other components, such as the brake discs.
Adaptability to Different Disciplines
Brake pads with the OP-11 compound have been designed with versatility in mind. This means they are suitable for a wide range of cycling disciplines, such as:
- Mountain Bikes: In disciplines like Enduro, XC, and DH, the demands on the braking system are high due to steep descents and rough terrain. The modulation capacity and resilience of the pads ensure optimal performance under these conditions.
- Electric Bikes (E-bike): Electric bikes typically have higher speed and weight, increasing the demand on the braking system. SDT Brakes pads provide the necessary safety for these types of vehicles, ensuring progressive and efficient braking.
- Road and Gravel Bikes: For those who enjoy long rides on the road or mixed routes, the stability and durability of the pads are fundamental. The OP-11 compound allows for smooth braking in different weather and terrain conditions, providing confidence at every stop.
Explore the world of cycling with the confidence of having a braking system that truly makes a difference and feel the sensation of always being in control with every brake!

Tips for Choosing the Right Brake Pads
When choosing brake pads, it is important to consider several factors beyond just price. Here are some useful tips:
- Type of Cycling: Determine your riding style. If you practice mountain biking or E-biking, the demands on the braking system are greater, so selecting pads with high resistance and modulation capability is essential.
- Usage Conditions: Evaluate the environment in which you typically ride. In wet conditions or on long journeys, high-durability pads that minimize wear on the discs will be a smart investment.
- Brand Reputation: Opt for recognized brands in the market. The experience and backing of an established manufacturer, like SDT Brakes, ensure that the product has undergone rigorous quality control and meets the needs of modern cyclists.
- Maintenance and Care: Remember that even the best pads require proper maintenance. Regularly checking the braking system and making necessary adjustments is vital to ensure optimal performance.
The Importance of a Good Braking System
The braking system is one of the most critical elements in a bicycle. Good braking not only ensures safety but also influences the overall riding experience. A well-tuned system allows the cyclist to feel in control, which is especially important in unexpected situations, such as steep descents or evasive maneuvers.
In this sense, investing in high-quality brake pads is a decision that goes beyond simply improving performance. It’s a commitment to safety, cost savings on maintenance, and personal satisfaction when riding a bicycle that responds reliably on every ride. The pads from SDT Brakes, with their advanced organic compound OP-11, meet these objectives and position themselves as one of the best options available on the market.
