Absolute Black incorporates new MTB models to the compatibility of its GRAPHENpads brake pads, with which the brand ensures that braking performance is improved by up to 35% on long and sustained descents compared to stock models. Pads that even Tadej Pogacar has chosen to mount on his bike despite not being contractually obligated to do so.

More options for Absolute Black GRAPHENpads brake pads

About two years ago, Absolute Black introduced GRAPHENpads brake pads, which take advantage of the properties of graphene to improve the retention qualities of their compound, as well as incorporating a base with a generous heat sink that helps maintain brake cooling when facing a long descent where intensive use of the brakes is required.

Initially, the brand only marketed pads for Dura-Ace, XTR, SRAM AXS, SRAM G2, and Shimano Deore brakes, an offer to which other popular brake models such as SRAM Code or Magura MT5/MT7 are now added.

In addition, Absolute Black has optimized its production costs, allowing it to lower the price of all its GRAPHENpads models, although its price remains above average at €49.50 for the SRAM AXS version or €35.90 for the Shimano XTR version.
