Brake pads on a stock 2018 Levo

[Matt Seabrook]

Evening all. I have worn through another set of pads on my Levo. I have SRAM sintered pads fitted at the moment and have been pleased with them. I have heard a lot of people recommending Uberbike pads and was wondering how they compare to the SRAM sintered. Are these the ones people are fitting please? I mostly do local trails and woods near me and a few trips to BPW each year.

Thanks Matt

I currently have those pads on a 2018 Levo, they've been decent so far. Not tried anything else yet though.

@kungdog thanks for the reply. I think I’m going to give them a go.

Right an update as I have had my first ride with the Uberbike pads and first impressions are initial but is stronger. They are a little more noisy than the SRAM sintered pads. I couldn’t give them the full prolonged downhill braking as the conditions today didn’t permit. The ground was so boggy and sodden high speed descents just didn’t happen. So far so good but it’s prolonged downhill braking that will show if these are up to the Sram pads. ??

I like the uberbike sintered, the standard SRAM pads last me about 4 rides because there is a lot of 35mph+ braking on that ride. the uberbike ones last a bit longer but cost less, bargain.

4 rides?

You will not beat these, lever is transformed from the standard mushy feel. More power too.
