• Braking Power: Excellent deceleration from the first pull, optimized bite on the rotor.

• Modulation: Smooth and progressive braking, ideal for technical descents.

• Thermal Resistance: Compound engineered to reduce fading under prolonged braking.

• Durability: Steady, controlled wear; maintains performance in both dry and muddy conditions.

• Low Noise: Anti-vibration design and anti-squeal treatment.

Technical specifications

• Reference: BA4047B

• Compatibility: Hayes Stroker 

• Compound Type: Reinforced organic (resin) — balances bite and longevity.

• Fixation: Standard Hayes

• Operating Temperature: Designed for off-road cycling usage

• Finish: Chamfered edges and integrated anti-vibration features

Specific features & benefits

Compound & performance

The reinforced organic formulation of the BA4047B pads offers an ideal balance between initial bite and service life. It provides a comfortable braking feel (less abrasive on rotors) while ensuring strong stopping power.

Heat management

The steel backing plate and ventilation design help dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of fading on long descents.

Noise & vibration control

Anti-vibration treatment and chamfered edges reduce squealing and chatter, resulting in cleaner, quieter braking.

Recommended usage

• Riding styles: MTB, enduro, trail, all-mountain.

• Terrain: Performs well on dry, wet, and slightly muddy trails. For extreme mud or very cold conditions, consider a specialized compound.

Installation & maintenance

1. Check compatibility of your Hayes Stroker caliper with reference BA4047B before purchasing.

2. Remove old pads following manufacturer instructions (clean pistons and pad slot).

3. Inspect the rotor (wear, warping, contamination). Clean using a proper brake/rotor degreaser.

4. Install new pads, reattach the pin, and ensure correct rotor-to-pad clearance.

5. Bed-in the pads: perform several smooth stops from moderate speed to allow the compound to stabilize.

6. Regular checks: compound thickness, contamination, and pin security.

Optimization tips

• Bed-in process: essential for achieving full braking power and minimizing vibration.

• Rotor condition: use clean, undamaged rotors for best pad life and performance.

• Wet weather: after heavy rain, gently apply the brakes a few times to clear moisture from the rotor.

Compatibility notes

• Designed for most Hayes Stroker variants — always confirm with your specific caliper model and mounting kit.

• Not ideal if you require a full metallic (sintered) compound for extreme downhill use — in such cases, choose metallic pads.

Buyer benefits

• Excellent power-to-longevity ratio for trail riding.

• Low noise and smooth feel.

• Easy installation for both home mechanics and professionals.

FAQ

Q: Are these pads compatible with calipers other than Hayes Stroker?
A: They are designed specifically for Hayes Stroker. Some compatible calipers may accept the BA4047B via specific kits, but always verify dimensions and fixing systems.

Q: When should I replace the pads?
A: Replace them when compound thickness reaches around 1 mm or if performance drops significantly due to wear or contamination.

Q: Are they suitable for daily e-bike use?
A: Yes, but for heavy e-MTBs or intense usage, monitor temperature and wear more frequently; metallic compounds may be preferable in very demanding scenarios.
