SRAM Trail Brakes are designed to slow you down in a hurry and nothing contributes to that more than the brake pads.
These SRAM Guide/Trail Sintered Steel Disc Brake Pads provide optimum braking power that's best suited to dry riding conditions and ensures quieter braking when compared to metal sintered pads.
For hot Australian conditions and even in the wet, you'll definitely get more bite and aggressive braking with Sintered Steel pads.
