SwissStop D16 - SH XTR BR-M965 & BR-M966, Green

I was in search for the ideal replacement brake pads to match with the Silicon Carbide Carbon Ceramic disc rotors (SiCCC), given how poorly and inconsistent the recommended "metal pad" from Kettle Cycle works...These Sintered Metallic brake pads are so far the best compound I have found that works very well with the SiCCC rotors.As with most SwissStop brake pads, they are very easy & quick to break-in and offers very consistent and predictable performance.The pads has excellent initial bite and offers great modulation.The durability is also excellent and offers reliable braking performance exhibiting very low wear.Low-temperature performance is also outstanding with no noticeable fluctuation in friction coefficient.They are very quiet in dry conditions...but for unknown reasons, they squeal quite a bit in wet conditions.But once the rotors warms and dries up a tad bit, it becomes quiet again.These brake pads inspires confidence and behaves like racing pads used on cars.One can brake late and brake hard, yet experience no brake fade.They are almost as good as the Endless MX72 brake pads I use for my car...the only slight let down is as I've mentioned, they squeal a bit in wet weather condition...I have no reservation recommending these pads to any riders who have upgraded their brake rotors to SiCCC.

Pads seem to work well. Only complaint seller shipped pads different days even though I paid together, and initial shipping indicated both would be shipped together.

Best brake pads around. I am a bicycle commuter and use my bike almost every day and have a number of steep hills to go up and down. The Swisstop brakes provide the best stopping power and they last a lot longer than other pads I have tried. For example in January I took my bike in for service and they suggested I replace the brake pads as they were over 50% used. These were Swisstop pads that I had been using for over six months. The bike stop installed new Shimano pads and by the beginning of March, less than two months later, the Shimano's had 0% life left. I was trying to brake with the metal backing pad because they had no pad left. Not only did the Shimano's not even last 2 months the stopping power was no where near as good as the Swisstop. So this weekend I installed another set of Swisstop and will now only use these pads. Great stopping power and long lasting.

So so. Bought these for the rear, and RS 31 for the back. Eventually replaced these with the RS 31 (same as front), which seem to be much better. These faded substantially when wet, while the RS31 brakes were consistently awesome.

I log over 5,000 miles per year while commuting year-round in Seattle. Given how wet and hilly Seattle is, I was blowing through organic compound brake pads quite quickly, and suffering from poor wet braking performance. The SwissStop sintered metallic pads solve both of those problems. They are extremely long lasting and do not suffer nearly as much from reduced stopping ability in the wet as do organic pads. The sintered metallic compound will wear out the brake rotor more quickly than organic pads, but that's something I'm certainly willing to put up with.Noise wise, they have not been troublesome. I get the occasional squeal when they're wet (like pretty much all disc brakes), but they are quiet enough in the dry to not be of concern. Also, I use the SwissStop 15S pads with TRP Spyre brake calipers, which are not listed as being compatible. They are. They fit just like the stock TRP pads that came with my Spyre brakes, with no modification or fussing. Just drop 'em in and ride.I highly recommend these pads, especially if you ride in the rain and/or live in a hilly area.

I am using these pads on M615 brakes and they fit perfectly even though they are not listed for this brake set. The brakes feel smooth without and grab and have not demonstrated any noise. It is too soon to estimate the life. The only drawback is there is a threaded pin used for these breaks whereas the M615s use a cotter pin. That is not the products fault but they should offer the same brake pads for the M615.

Definitely a great buy if you love bike riding. Stops on a dime these pads should have been standard with the bike for a safety reason. Very easy to install I also change the disks. Highly recommend

Perfect with magura mt8 raceline brakes. Will buy again for sure

Jedesmal vor dem Start ist die Bremswirkung gegen null, erst wenn man mehrfach bremst wird es besser, wenn die Scheibe von der Reibung Farbe bekommt wird es gut. Habe keine Lust zuerst 5min anfahren und bremsen bis die Bremse tut, ist ein Dreck
