Avid SRAM eTap AXS/Level Disc Brake Pads

If you are buying these pads, you may, like me, have essentially no choice, as they seem to be the only pads that fit my SRAM road brakes. I also can only speak as a newish user of disc brakes. That said, I am completely delighted with the braking these afford - smooth, quiet, nicely modulated braking every time, in wet or dry. My only gripes, which may be just an issue with disc brakes in general - I do not know- is that they wear pretty fast , are quite expensive, and take some fiddling to assess for wear. I find that in dry conditions, they are shot after 1600 miles, and if I'm riding in the wet, the extra road grit wears them out in as little as 1000 miles. At $xx a pop, that is vastly more than the $xx for a 4000 miles set of rim pads. Plus, unlike rim pads which you can pretty much just glace down and assess, these require you to remove the wheel and pop the pads. Not the end of the world, but still a bother.

However, in spite of the minuses, I am not going back to rim brakes. The power, modulation, and reliability in all conditions makes this a clearly superior product, one worth the cost. They are also offered in a longer wearing version, but I'm sticking with 'quiet' for the pleasure of it.

BTD is one of a very few retailers that provided proper specs for rival axs. Even with sram you have to do a bit of digging to find the sku

Always amazing service

Anyway, they work. Currently set up on a gravel bike that sees almost all dry sandy conditions, with no concerns

Was expecting more squeal but didn�t experience it. Hopefully they will last longer than the organic pads.

They fit gravel bike brake calipers and work great. Good price as well.

Exactly as described. Super price and super fast shipping!

Worked as advertised.

Remember that it's only for one caliper. Buy two.

Super easy drop-in replacement for OE pads, which gave reliable performance for several seasons. Super easy assuming you have a piston tool such as the Park Tool PP-1.2 Hydraulic Piston Press, which I do. Pads are quiet and powerful in all conditions.

Those are larger pads and it seems that BTD does not stock them.

Replaced my OEM pads. Really like them. Organic works great for me.

installed without any issues. Pad work great. No issues (as usual) from getting product from bike tires direct

Replaced the stock pads with these and they squeal considerably less.

Quit and very good pads.

I opted to ride shimano discs w my sram brakes to shave a few grams. What learned was you need to ride the sinter pads with them over the organic pads to prevent them from shimming.

It was time to replace the pads on my gravel bike with SRAM Force brakes. I also lightly sanded and cleaned the rotors with isopropyl alcohol. There were a few squeals while I bedded the pads but since then totally quiet. These pads have more power than the previous organic pads but still have good modulation. I have not yet used them in wet conditions.

They're just what you would expect. They fit and work.

Works very well in dry dusty conditions. Easy to install. Nice to see remaining amount of pad left when looking at the top of the caliper. Prefer the metal over the organic material.

Avid Elixir brakes are one of best brakes on the market. One, they are light weight. Two, the brakes pads are super easy to install. The only complaint is that the price should be lower. The price of one pair almost equals that of my vehicles brakepad.
