TRP 4-Piston Sintered Metallic Pads

CONSISTENT BITE — Maintains a firm, predictable braking feel through long descents and sustained braking.

HIGH HEAT CAPABILITY — Performs consistently as braking temperatures rise under demanding use.

EXCELLENT WET PERFORMANCE — Delivers reliable braking performance across both wet and dry conditions.

LONG WEAR LIFE — Durable sintered metallic construction is built to handle high mileage and hard riding.

STABLE BRAKING FEEL — Resists changes in bite and lever feel during prolonged braking.

HEAVY-DUTY PERFORMANCE — Ideal for downhill, e-MTB, heavier riders, and sustained descents.

The process for bedding in brake pads is simple and it can be done anywhere you have consistent grip on your tires. Ideally, you are looking for a long stretch of asphalt or concrete that is flat or has a slight downhill grade to help carry momentum. Make sure you are applying enough pressure on the brakes to consistently slow the wheels without locking the brakes up or coming to a complete stop. The goal of this being to lay down pad material onto the rotor in a consistent and even manner.

Once you have your chosen location, follow the steps below for the perfect bed:

For new Metallic pads (Copper) and new rotors:

Step 1: Shift bike into a climbing gear while bike is in stand. On flat ground, pedal bike while dragging both front and rear brakes at constant pressure for 5 minutes. Do not lock brakes. This will lay an initial material down. They will start to get progressively stickier as you drag them.

Step 2: 8-12 rolling stops going from 15 mph down to 5 mph on the front brake only.

Step 3: 8-12 rolling stops going from 15 mph down to 5 mph on the rear brake only.

Step 4: 8-12 rolling stops going from 20 mph down to 5 mph while pulling both brakes.

Step 5: Go ride! The brakes will likely take 1-2 rides to fully bed-in.

For new Metallic pads (Copper) on a used rotor:

Step 1: 7-10 rolling stops going from 15 mph down to 5 mph on the front brake only.

Step 2: 7-10 rolling stops going from 15 mph down to 5 mph on the rear brake only.

Step 3: 7-10 rolling stops going from 20 mph down to 5 mph while pulling both brakes.

Step 4: Go ride!
