Why Upgrade to Sinter Premium Brake Pads?
When it comes to mountain biking, especially the kind we live and breathe at OnYerBike, braking isn’t just a safety feature, it’s a performance tool. Yet, brake pads are often overlooked when upgrading or maintaining a bike. Many riders assume all pads are created equal, but trust us, they’re not.
That’s why we’re proud to stock Sinter Premium Brake Pads, and we go the extra mile by using our in-house bedding-in machine to ensure every pad is ready to ride from day one.
Cheap Pads vs Premium Pads: What’s the Difference?
Cheaper brake pads typically use basic compounds, often resulting in inconsistent performance, excessive noise, and quicker wear. They might seem like a good deal up front, but they cost you in the long run, through reduced control, frequent replacements, and poor modulation.
On the other hand, Sinter’s premium pads are meticulously engineered in Slovenia using advanced materials like Kevlar, ceramic particles, carbon fiber, and tailored resins. They’re designed for specific riding styles, conditions, and rider demands, whether you’re smashing bike park laps or racing road stages in the Alps.

Sinter doesn’t believe in a one-pad-fits-all approach. Their premium combinations are tailored to how you ride:
- Gravity: Green-Green for aggressive bite, or Blue-Blue for bike park modulation and longevity.
- Trail/XC: Blue rear with Green front for strong, consistent stopping power.
- Road & Gravel: Green-Green for punchy rides, Blue rear for long-distance control.
- Road Race: Green-Green for precise, high-speed braking confidence.

Factory-Bedded In, Ready to Shred
Here at OnYerBike, we take braking seriously. That’s why we use a specialist bedding-in machine, every Sinter pad we fit is already heat cycled and bedded in before it ever touches the trial or road. That means:
- No squeal
- Instant performance
- No glazing or uneven wear
It’s just one of the ways we bring race-ready performance to your everyday ride.
Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. As tested by Road.cc (worth a read as some great charts show the pads head to head) premium pads like Sinter offer improved braking bite, durability, noise reduction, and wet-weather performance. They last longer and give you more control when it matters most.
You’ve already invested in your bike, don’t skimp on the most critical performance upgrade.
