We rely on consistent braking when we're weaving down singletrack or dodging traffic on our commute, and that's exactly why the Avid BB5 Disc Brake Pads are in our maintenance kit. Engineered by Avid for mechanical disc systems, these pads help us stay in control whether the ride calls for dusty switchbacks or slick city corners. Their organic pad compound delivers a quick, quiet response, while the steel backing plate adds durability and heat resistance for steeper rides. Designed to perform reliably through rain, mud, or shine, these pads are a no-brainer when we need to stop—fast.
