Get maximum pad life with minimal brake fade. The EXOTherm2 features an ultra - durable, smoothly modulating pad compound paired with a cooling fin - equipped back plate. This combination ensures consistent and powerful braking in all conditions. Here are its great features: The pad wear rate is significantly lower than that of competitors. It offers smooth and consistent brake performance. It's lightweight, weighing only 22 grams per pair (Disc 28 EXOTherm2). Fits various models from Shimano, like XTR BR - M9000, BR - M9020, etc., and FSA models such as K - Force DB - TX - 9000 and Afterburner DB - TX - 9150.

To use these brakes, first, on a gradual downhill slope, drag each brake for 20 - 30 seconds, switching between the front and rear brakes. Do this 2 - 3 times. Then, on a steeper slope, engage and drag the brakes for 10 - 15 seconds, then increase the lever pressure until the bike almost stops. Repeat this 2 - 3 times. A pro tip: The front pads get hotter than the rear. To get the best performance, swap the front and rear pads and repeat the second step. Before replacing or swapping brake pads, make sure all parts are cooled down. Remember, the pads need to be bedded in for optimal performance. There's no special maintenance needed other than regular checks to ensure the pads are in good condition and the brakes are working smoothly.
