Excellent product, will buy again when needed!
Ridden the bike a few times since fitting these pads, excellent performance in the wet and dry.

Great braking
These are great for braking, way better than standard carbon brakes. You can really feel the extra braking power. Would do 5 stars but their wear rate is high, although that is probably why they are good.

Brake well but very grabby
These started out OK and good but after a bit of bedding in they were quite pulsey and grabby. I tried them on fast forward rims and vision and same problem on both. Very disappointed for the cost but others seem to rave about them. I think the Zipp cork ones are better but lots of people moan about them. Not for me but thought I'd mention they're not grab free.

Great stopping power
Run with my Zipp 202s, compared with the Zipp pads I bought with the wheels which were awful, these are excellent. Would recommend. Great value too.

Great stopping but fast wear
I have full carbon rims and cycle on rolling hills with some steep descents. I found these are great pads [with Ultegra brakes] but they wear pretty quickly witht he high temperatures of the carbon rims.
It might be partly due to my braking style so I'll write another review after the next set and see if that's true or not.

Good stopping power
I bought these to use with my new carbon wheels. They work well in dry or wet.

Perfect tool for carbon rims with great modulation
I've been using the standard shimano ultegra brake pads for the aluminium mavic rims so far. Due to switching to Mavic carbon wheelset I had to find a proper brake pad for these wheels. As I have found the Mavic's proprietary brake pads used for Exalith braking surface on carbon rims are being made by Swiss Stop, so I decided to go with these ones. The Swiss Stops pads are a bit cheaper alternative apart from the Mavic's Exalith pads providing a great modulation range in the different weather conditions though.
as a drawback I can mention not very pleasing hissing while braking for the first time, but it becomes normal in a very short run.
as a conclusion I may say the pads are a good value for money especially as they come in a four pack unit. It definitely worth buying.

Greatly improves braking.
Braking improved drastically with these pads on my carbon rims. Modulation is fantastic.

Good product
Brought these for my 50mm carbon rims as my cork pads were frankly rather dangerous in the rain! These swiss stop are much better. I don't think any carbon rim in the wet is going to be as good as an alloy rim, but the swiss stop work very well in the wet and dry. They can squeal a bit sometimes (dry) but nothing to worry about. No residue left on the rim from the blocks.

Excellent
Used on used C35 rims and they work amazingly.
Even in heavy rain stops carbon rims.

Great stopping power and modulation
I was using the lifeline blue pads and while good for stopping I couldn't get used to the modulation and they locked up quite often. These give me much more feel and confidence.

Great stopping Power
We get alot of rain here in the summer, and these definitely work well in those conditions ....

Do not use on ENVE SES
Stay with the Factory designed ENVE pads - they are way better for use with ENVE Wheels

Significantly imrove breaking with carbon wheels
Clear improvement with carbon wheels, especially in rain.

Great modulation and stopping power
Best carbon brake pads on the market, great modulation and low noise

Expensive but quality
First time out on a club TT. Quiet and effective compared to squeely stuff they replaced.
Only 4 stars as I cannot comment on durability or performance in the wet but honestly not expecting 1000s of miles on carbon stuff.
These were discounted on price so I think I got a good deal and at the moment these would be my go to replacement for the future.
I should emphasise the roads were dry on this my first outing with them.

Best pads ever
Feel like I have a new braking surface. Couldn't be happier
23 April 2015
Best yet.
These blocks work! The grip is as good or better than a lot of aluminium braking.

superb controlled braking
seem to get it just right in terms of power and progression, work really well with my carbon rims. As good as my dura ace pads with mavic allow rims

Amazing Stopping Power
These pads really do live up to their reputation. My First time on Carbon Rims and its with these pads, literally cant tell the difference between these and my alloy wheels with normal pads.

Great pads
So far so good, getting on great with these pads!!

Great pads
Great feel to these brakes, little or no difference to braking performance using shimano pads on a aluminium surface to Swiss stop on carbon surface.
