Green Compound Pads (CFA493)
For all types of riding this is your best choice and is a British-made organic pad compound that will not prematurely wear your rotors. The pads have a good lifetime and are supplied with slightly beefed up retraction springs to prevent pad drag. For downhill racing or longer life in wet and mud see either the RED or GOLD grades.
Features
- Designed for X-country riding
- Softer pad compound for better stopping
- Can be used on non-hardened or hardened discs
- This is a RESIN pad
________

Lifetime is limited, these pads are designed for a few descents only, check wear after every ride to avoid running out of brakes. Supplied with heavy-duty retraction springs in spring based systems.
Features
- High friction pad for downhill riding
- Handles more heat under heavy braking
- Minimum heat transfer to hydraulics
- Can be used on non-hardened or hardened discs
- This is a RESIN pad

Features
- Sintered compound for wet and muddy conditions
- Longer lasting pads with high friction rating
- Great value for money
- Made in the USA and used by some of the world's greatest bicycle sportsmen
