Pad shape & compound
The pad must match the exact caliper. Organic/resin and sintered/metallic compounds behave differently for noise, initial bite, heat and wet-weather durability.

MTB & e-MTB braking
Brakes, pads and rotors for confident control
Braking components and service parts selected for consistent power, modulation and heat management on modern mountain bikes and e-MTBs.
Pad shape, compound, rotor interface, diameter and thickness must suit the specific brake and bike. Torque can check compatibility and professionally fit, bed in and service the finished system.
Choose the correct braking part
What to check before ordering
Brake components are safety-critical. Match parts to the exact brake model and respect the limits specified by the brake, fork, frame and hub manufacturers.
Rotor interface & size
Check six-bolt or Center Lock fitment, rotor diameter and the correct adaptor. Confirm the fork and frame permit the intended rotor size.
Rotor thickness
Rotor thickness varies between braking systems. Use a rotor approved for the caliper and pad combination rather than choosing on diameter alone.
Fluid & system
Hydraulic brakes use either mineral oil or DOT fluid as specified by the manufacturer. They are not interchangeable and must never be mixed.
Identify the correct part
Send us the brake model
Clear photographs of the caliper, lever, current pads and rotor markings usually provide the quickest route to checking the correct replacement.

Complete braking performance
Power, consistency and control must work together
Larger rotors or aggressive pads are not automatically the right answer. Lever setup, system condition, bleeding, caliper alignment, pad compound, rotor condition and correct bedding-in all contribute to how the brake performs.

Brake, pad & rotor FAQs
How do I identify the correct brake pads?
Use the exact caliper model rather than the bike brand. Pad shapes can be very similar, so compare the manufacturer part reference or send us photographs of the caliper and existing pads.
Should I choose organic or sintered pads?
It depends on the brake, rotor and riding conditions. Organic pads can offer strong initial bite and quieter operation; sintered pads generally tolerate sustained heat and wet conditions better. Always confirm the brake and rotor permit the chosen compound.
Can I increase my rotor size?
Possibly, but the fork, frame, hub, caliper and adaptor must support it. A larger rotor changes leverage and heat capacity, so check manufacturer limits before fitting.
Can mineral oil and DOT brake fluid be mixed?
No. Use only the fluid specified by the brake manufacturer. Mixing them can damage seals and cause brake failure.
Do new pads and rotors need bedding in?
Yes. Correct bedding-in transfers an even layer of pad material to the rotor and is important for power and consistency. Torque can bed in newly installed brake components.
Can Torque fit and service the products?
Yes. We offer pad and rotor fitting, brake bleeding, alignment, hose work and full brake overhauls. Additional parts and labour are discussed before work proceeds.
