Customer Reviews

Avid Elixir Organic Brake Pads and Aluminium Backplate is rated 3.0 out of 5 by 8.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Wish I had read other reviews & reviews elsewhere These pads squeal. Braking performance is good but even where professionally fitted with a new rotor, hydraulics checked, alignment checked, carefully bedded in, after a few miles they start to squeal again.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not recommended due to pad vibration / squeal Manufacturing quality is good, but the performance is acceptable apart from the constant problem of pad vibration / judder and squeal when the pad becomes polished. The problem goes away briefly after pad removal and use of a metal file to roughen the surface. The wear is fairly rapid too, so value is only average. Conclusion - Not recommended!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lättar än vanliga plåtar Funkar helt OK men är avsevärt lättare än stål backplates. Bromsar mycket bra.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Severely OVERPRICED low weight high grip Honestly you should be able to buy a pair of these for $5. There is just NO REASON hey should cost more than car pads. I wouldn't be surprised if the sintered pads cost more to make but these are just more because of the higher level of grip. Same goes for the aluminum. Probably costs the same or less to use (easier to drill the holes). Yet you end up paying more because they are lighter. If weight is not important to you I would recommend sintered pads and a 200mm front rotor. If your running a 20LB mountain bike then you don't get that low unless you shave 10g hear 5 there 30 over hear. If you bought a titanium seatpost clamp or own a single piece of titanium on your bike then these are for you!

Q & A

aluminium vs steel

Please can you tell me if these are suitable for Elixir R brakes. Aloso, what is the difference between steel and aluminium backings. Which is better? Thanks Bill
Asked by: BillW
G'day,The aluminium backing Plate dissipates heat quicker than the Steel thus keeping the organic compund pads Cooler.Making them more efficient = lowers the melting/break down point of he pads also..

Do these fit Avid/SRAM XO?
