Red Label RACE brake pads are designed to focus on progressive power, total silence, and incredible modulation.
This model fits the following brakes: SRAM Level (not Level Ultimate or Level TLM – those are either RL170 or RL160) Avid Elixir 3, 5, R, CR, CR Mag, X7, X9, X0, XX. These fit exactly the same as RL160 – it's purely preference and does not matter which one you choose. Mechanics prefer the RL165 because it is easier to handle given the knurled tab.
The Red Label RACE ceramic performance brake pads were created to benefit the majority of riders. This formula delivers an incredibly smooth, progressive power delivery all while remaining dead silent. Designed with performance first, the Red Label RACE will boost your level of control and power. This unique brake pad is made with proprietary blends of Kevlar, MTX CeraEVO ceramic materials and other Japan-sourced additives and modifiers.
For best performance with previously used rotors, clean old rotors with acetone to remove any existing residue.
Features:
- Performance first engineering with key influences from auto-racing & powersports.
- Red Label RACE compound is virtually noise-free under any condition.
- Control your corners with the ability to precisely temper the braking power needed.
