Red s514Predictable all-round
ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE
These brake pads offer consistent performance, thanks to their medium compound and friction stabilizers. They provide reliable braking with a smooth lever feel and excellent durability.
The inclusion of ceramic particles in the s514 compound ensures a soft bite and strong resistance to wear, making them a great long lasting option.
15% Improvement in friction performance compared to Shimano G03A pads
29% Improvement in friction performance compared to Swissstop 28C pads
Green s2032Brake late and hard
ULTIMATE BRAKING PERFORMANCE
The green series Sinter 2032 bicycle brake pads are designed with one thing in mind – extreme braking performance in diverse temperature conditions.
The 2032 braking compound is a state-of-the-art material, used by the Sinter Brakes racing team in the UCI Mountain bike Downhill World Championship. They enable riders to brake aggressively, while maintaining the ultimate power of control in all situation – regardless of the riding surface.
36% improvement in friction compared to SRAM OEM pads
41% Improvement in friction performance compared to Swissstop 28RS pads

Blue s530Heavier bikes, long descents
LONG LASTING BRAKING POWER
Developed to provide constant braking power, high modulation, and comfort on the brake lever, as well as slow wear across all temperature conditions.
That is what makes the s530 compound especially suitable for e-bikes and other heavy bicycles with extra long pad life and highly resistant to fade.
27% Improvement in friction coefficient compared with Shimano G03A pads
44% Improvement in friction coefficient compared with Swissstop 28E pads

Black s550
BRAKING CONTROL DEFINED
The black series Sinter 550 performance bicycle brake pads are designed for the no-compromise riders, off-road or on-road – while still maintaining long-lasting life! With the fine-tuned, slightly lowered friction coefficient they provide high levels of modulation for excellent control on steep, wet, tricky trails and roads.
The brake pads are fabricated from the S-550 semi-metallic compound, and they perform best with standard OEM non-floating or floating brake rotors.

Questions about SINTER 003
Does SINTER 003 fit Shimano CUES U8000?
Yes. SINTER 003 fits the Shimano CUES U8000 series — BR-U8020 — along with 18 other Shimano, Tektro and TRP brake systems. Check the full list above, or type your brake into the filter.
Which compound should I choose for my Shimano D Type?
Red s514 — Predictable all-round. Green s2032 — Brake late and hard. Blue s530 — Heavier bikes, long descents. All compounds fit the same shape, so choose by riding style, not caliper.
Are these pads organic or sintered?
SINTER 003 pads are organic: friction material bonded with resin, developed and made in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Organic pads bite quickly, run quietly and are gentle on rotors. Despite the brand name, the Sinter bike range is organic — sintered metallic compounds are used in the karting and industrial programmes.
How do I bed in new pads?
Every set ships with a bedding-in card. In short: on a quiet stretch, ride up to moderate speed and brake firmly down to walking pace without stopping fully. Repeat 10–15 times per brake until power stabilises — this transfers an even film of pad material onto the rotor. Full instructions are in the Bedding-in guide.
