Swissstop carbon brake pads: performance and safety for Shimano V-Brakes

When riding a mountain bike, braking is a key factor for both safety and riding pleasure. On carbon rims, choosing the right brake pads is crucial. This is where Swissstop carbon brake pads come in: designed for Shimano V-Brakes, they deliver a unique combination of stopping power, modulation, and durability.

Why use specific brake pads for carbon rims ?

Unlike aluminum, carbon fiber reacts differently to heat and friction. Using standard brake pads can not only wear out the rim prematurely but also reduce braking power, especially in wet conditions. Swissstop pads have been specially engineered to meet these challenges.

Features of Swissstop carbon brake pads

• Shimano V-Brake compatibility: perfectly suited to Shimano brake arms, they can be mounted easily on most mountain bikes with this system.

• High-performance rubber compound: Swissstop’s rubber is optimized for carbon rim surfaces, ensuring powerful and consistent braking.

• Excellent heat dissipation: reduces the risk of rim overheating during long descents.

• Enhanced durability: built to withstand heavy use on technical terrain.

• All-weather performance: reliable stopping power whether in dry or wet conditions.

Benefits for mountain bikers

Equipping your Shimano V-Brake with Swissstop carbon brake pads means:

• optimal braking control on descents,

• precise modulation of braking power,
