Brake pads Clarks CLA-VRX815C for Magura Marta (2002–2008) and Marta SL, sintered metallic

Replacement sintered metallic brake pads Clarks CLA-VRX815C are designed for use with Magura Marta (2002–2008) and Marta SL hydraulic disc brake calipers. These pads feature a sintered metallic friction compound engineered to offer high heat resistance and stable braking performance under sustained loads, aiming to provide extended pad life and reliable stopping power in varied riding conditions.

Advantages

Clarks sintered metallic pads deliver consistent friction characteristics at elevated temperatures, reducing brake fade during prolonged descents or heavy braking. The metallic compound increases durability compared with organic pads, improving wear resistance on muddy or abrasive trails and in wet conditions. Their geometry and backing plate are matched to the target Magura calipers to ensure secure fitment and even pressure distribution across the pad surface.

Suitable for

• Road cycling where reliable long-term braking is required
• Mountain and off-road riding with frequent or heavy braking
• Commuting in mixed weather, including wet and muddy conditions
• Riders seeking pads with increased heat tolerance and wear resistance

Key specifications

• Friction material: sintered metallic compound
• Compatibility: fits Magura Marta (2002–2008) and Marta SL hydraulic calipers
• Intended use: hydraulic disc brake systems
• Performance characteristics: high heat resistance and improved wear life
• Pad form factor: replacement cartridge pads matched to specified caliper shape

How to use

Install these pads following the brake manufacturer’s guidelines: remove the wheel and caliper access if required, extract the retaining pin or clip from the caliper, remove the old pads and clean the caliper bore and piston face with suitable brake cleaner. Insert the Clarks sintered pads ensuring correct orientation and full seating against the piston, replace the retaining pin or clip, and reassemble the wheel. After installation, pump the brake lever to reposition the pistons and check for proper pad clearance and rotor alignment. Bed in the pads with a series of gradual stops from moderate speed to ensure even transfer layer formation and optimal initial performance.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, avoid contaminating pad and rotor surfaces with lubricants or skin oils; if contamination occurs, replace or clean pads and resurface the rotor as advised by the brake manufacturer. Monitor pad thickness regularly and replace before the friction material reaches the minimum safe limit. Use pads suited to your typical riding conditions: sintered metallic pads are recommended for heavy-duty, wet, or high-heat applications.
