While bedding them in I was disappointed as they were already starting to howl. I bought the Golds as they were recommended for the extra weight of the emtb (and me). They still had good life left but I could no longer take the noise. As they have worn they became louder and louder… total howlers. I’ve been running the Shimano brand metalic pads – they were the only set available when I bought them. I’m only a few thousand feet of descending into the pads so far, so if they last as long as a stock pad, they will have exceeded my expectations in every way. They’ve been totally silent (you don’t know how loud your brakes were until you ride on totally silent brakes) even over long descents in moon dust. I’m able to brake less and brake later, kill speed faster, and the bite is amazingly consistent.

I run Code RSC brakes which are already excellent brakes, but swapping in a set of Red Label Race pads totally changed the way the bike rides.

I think these might be the most noticeable upgrade I’ve ever made to a bike - more so than carbon wheels, new rubber, upgraded damper, etc. I’m just a guy who needed new brake pads and bought these because I had heard good things, and wanted to verify the claims that these were better than the hype.

*So in full disclosure, I am not a social media influencer, so my opinion can’t be treated as fact. I am hooked and headed to your website to order two more sets for our other bikes thank you and great product! I am an old motocross guy so I love tuning and just always felt like MTB brakes just really missed the mark. I can’t believe MTX pads made the whole thing come together! Its light and zappy feeling with the ability to drag lightly to really stick to the berms and rock shoots. YOUR PADS ARE EXACTLY WHAT SHIMANO BRAKES NEED. I had Shimano XT 4-pistons for this new bike.
So…this is a long story but I am going to get to my point where I tell you how amazing your pads are! (spoiler alert). So I had switched to TRP Slate 4 pistons with a longer lever which gave a better feel or leverage to modulate but didn’t like the actual lever.

I always use g***** rotors love them and g***** pro pads are my favorite but….they’re grabby and they lack modulation Shimano is kinda on-off feel anyway. So as far as performance, let me say that I have tried SRAM, TRP and Shimano 4 piston brakes with every pad available I think. (Editor’s note: this is taken from an Instagram DM conversation) (Editor’s note: Mike was a contest giveaway winner). Consider trying these pads out if you want to tune and enhance your braking performance. These pads have inspired confidence and received 100% of my trust already. When off the trails, you can catch me riding trials on my hardtail and playing on my back wheel at any opportunity. After a few weeks of saddle time, these MTX pads allow some great modulation at first bite while offering a detailed feel and stupid power to boot. While I’ve gotten used to the ON/OFF feel my XT’s produce, I never truly liked the lack of modulation I experienced compared to other brakes. As far as I know, no one has really taken a microscope to brake pad compounds past the existing organic, semi-metallic and metallic offerings, so it’s refreshing to see something new burst into the market with impressive claims. Aside from getting sick of my stock Shimano XT pads squealing and howling at every pulse of my finger, I was stoked to try a set of these MTX pads out, as a curious bike nerd at heart.
