Collection: Brake pads

Good brake pads are one of the most important components on your bike, whether you ride triathlon, road or gravel. The pads are your direct contact with the brake disc or rim – and the quality here is of great importance for both braking performance, control and safety. At Transition Zone you will find a carefully selected range of brake pads for Sram and Shimano, so you can brake precisely and safely – regardless of the weather and surface.

We only sell pads that we would ride ourselves – that means high quality, good durability and optimal performance in both dry and wet conditions. Whether you need brake pads for disc brakes or rim brakes, we have models to match your setup.

Sram is known for their performance-oriented approach to components, and their brake pads are no exception. The pads are designed to match Sram's hydraulic disc brakes and deliver a combination of powerful braking power and good modulation - the ability to precisely dose the braking force. This is especially important in triathlon, where sharp braking often occurs from high speed.

At Transition Zone you will find both organic and sintered brake pads for Sram, depending on your needs. Organic pads are quiet and bite well in dry weather, while sintered pads last longer and perform better in rain and mud – perfect for those who also ride gravel or train year-round.

Sram pads are of course available in variants for the Force, Rival, Red and Level series, and we are happy to help you find the right model for your brakes.

Shimano is one of the most widely used component manufacturers in the world, and their brake pads are known for stable and reliable performance - both for training and competition. Whether you ride Ultegra, 105, GRX or Dura-Ace, you'll find the right pads with us.

Shimano offers both resin and metal (sintered) pads. Resin pads are ideal for riders who want quiet, smooth brakes with quick response – especially on dry roads. Metal pads, on the other hand, last longer and perform better in high heat, such as during long downhill braking or hard intervals.

At Transition Zone we have a wide range of Shimano compatible pads, including models with and without cooling fins. The fins help to conduct heat away from the brake – something that is especially relevant in triathlon, where hard braking is often combined with prolonged loads.

When choosing brake pads, it's not just about the brand – it's also about the material, the type of riding and the conditions you ride in. At Transition Zone, we help you find the right solution for your bike and your needs. We know the difference in the small details – and we know how much it means when you need to go fast and have the utmost confidence in your equipment.

We have collected the best models from Sram and Shimano, and of course we offer fast delivery, so you can be back on the road or in the zone quickly. Whether you need cleats for racing, gravel, long rides or everyday training, we have them – and we are ready to give honest advice if you are in doubt.

Also remember to check your brake discs – worn discs can reduce the effectiveness of even the best pads. And if you are in doubt about compatibility, we will help you quickly.
