Brake pads Clarks for E-BIKE compatible with SHIMANO/AVID/SRAM (Shimano XT 755-56, Avid Code R) Semi-metallic

Clarks semi-metallic brake pads for E-BIKE are replacement pads designed to work with compatible hydraulic disc brake calipers from Shimano, Avid and SRAM, including models such as Shimano XT 755-56 and Avid Code R (Code from 2011 onward). These pads are formulated to provide a balance between braking power and wear resistance suited to assisted pedalcycles, offering consistent performance on mixed terrain, trails and urban routes. They are intended for riders who require dependable stopping force from their e-bike's hydraulic braking system while maintaining acceptable pad life under increased loads.

Advantages

These semi-metallic brake pads combine metal fibers with friction material to increase thermal capacity and durability compared with organic compounds. Clarks pads deliver stable braking performance under higher temperatures typical of e-bike use, with reliable modulation for controlled stopping. They are manufactured to match the pad shape and backing plate thickness required by the specified calipers, helping ensure correct fit and safe operation when installed as replacement pads.

Suitable for

• Replacement pads for hydraulic disc brakes on e-bikes
• Trail and enduro riding where increased braking demand is expected
• Urban and commuter e-bikes with frequent stop-and-go conditions
• Riders seeking a balance of braking power and pad longevity

Key specifications

• Friction type: semi-metallic compound for increased heat resistance
• Design: shaped to suit compatible Shimano, Avid and SRAM calipers noted by the manufacturer
• Intended system: hydraulic disc brake systems on pedal-assist bicycles
• Typical applications: assisted pedalcycles, trail, urban and mixed-terrain riding
• Durability: formulated for higher thermal load and improved wear life compared with organic pads

How to use

Replace worn pads following the brake manufacturer's instructions and standard bicycle maintenance procedures. Remove the wheel, open the caliper access (retaining pin or bolt), extract the old pads and clean the caliper area of dust and debris. Install the Clarks semi-metallic pads ensuring correct orientation and that the pad backing plate sits flush in the caliper. Reinsert retaining hardware, reassemble the wheel, and check rotor alignment. After installation, perform a series of low-speed stops to bed the new pads and verify braking performance before regular riding.

Usage recommendations

Do not contaminate the pad surface or rotor with lubricants, grease or cleaning solvents. If contamination occurs, replace the pads rather than attempting to clean them. Periodically inspect pad thickness and rotor condition; replace pads when wear reaches the minimum safe thickness specified by the brake system manufacturer. For optimal results on e-bikes, monitor brake performance under load and allow occasional cooldown periods during sustained heavy braking.
