Brake pads for carbon-rim road bikes designed to deliver strong, reliable stopping power, VeloChampion Brake Pads. Quiet, confidence-inspiring braking reduces anxiety on fast descents and busy roads. Are these the upgrade riders with carbon wheels need?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Braking Performance: High stopping power and positive braking feedback on carbon braking surfaces
- • Best for: Road cyclists who ride bikes with carbon fibre rims and need dependable stopping
- • Not ideal for: Riders using aluminium braking surfaces without confirmation of compatibility
Designed specifically for carbon fibre wheel rims and carbon braking surfaces. Compatible with both tubular and clincher rims and major Shimano and SRAM brakesets.
Consistent Stopping in Wet and Dry – Thanks to a specialised rubber compound
A formulated rubber compound delivers consistent friction across a wide temperature and moisture range, producing predictable braking force. The compound balances grip and wear to maintain performance over many stops.
Confident, repeatable braking on descents and in changeable weather. Fewer sudden grab moments makes high-speed riding safer and more controllable.
Made for Carbon Rims – With compatibility for carbon braking surfaces
Brake pad inserts are engineered to match the properties of carbon fibre braking surfaces, optimising contact and heat behaviour. Material choice reduces glazing and improves bite on carbon rims.
Reliable braking without the rapid wear or unpredictable feel that can happen with pads not designed for carbon. Suits riders upgrading to or already using carbon wheels.
Broad Brake Compatibility – With fit for Shimano and SRAM setups
An insert shape and mounting approach that aligns with Shimano Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105 and SRAM brakesets, ensuring correct clearance and pad engagement. Available in multi-pack options for front or rear fitment.
Easy to fit on most road-group brake calipers without custom adapters. Choosing 2pcs or 4pcs lets riders service one or both wheels quickly.
