SwissStop Disc 26 Avid Elixir-Level Disc Brake Pad

The Disc 26 Avid Elixir-Level Disc Brake pads are high performance brake pads from SwissStop. They fit a range of brakes and are available in 4 different compounds:

The Sintered – Metallic compound offers improved braking in dry and wet conditions. It has very low pad wear and high heat resistance. It is perfect for gravity style riding. 

The Resin-Organic compound is a high performance compound made from a Kevlar, Ceramic, Brass, and resin composite material. It is designed for maximum braking power with less effort required at the brake lever. The performance is great in both wet and dry conditions and they have excellent pad life. 

The Disc E Endurance compound was designed specifically with heavier E-bikes in mind. Its a long lasting compound that is able to withstand high temperatures from consistent heavy braking. It offers excellent modulation and is low noise and rotor friendly. It is also a great choice for heavier DH bikes. 

The EXOTherm 2 compound can be described simply as Maximum Pad life with minimum brake fade. It combines a smooth modulating pad compound with a cooling finned back plate for consistent powerful braking in all conditions.
