Triolet

The Triolet uses three different compounds and three different braking surfaces to offer unmatched braking performance in any type of conditions Mother Earth can throw at you, from dry, to wet, to muddy and everything in between.

Not suitable for wheels with carbon braking surfaces.

The Triolet brake pad offers excellent all-conditions usability for wheels with alloy braking surfaces.

Cistella

Our second generation of pads designed specifically for carbon braking surfaces, the Cistella is an amazing combination of stopping power, longevity and finely tuned heat buildup.

Heat buildup is a serious concern for anyone who rides a carbon fiber wheel. The energy of momentum is converted into heat during braking, but while an alloy wheel can quickly dissipate this heat via conductivity, the resin that holds carbon fiber in place has comparatively poor conductivity and the heat can quickly rise to the point of softening the resin, deforming the wheel with disastrous consequences.

Tested with heavy riders doing long, steep descents and wheels inspected by experienced engineers, so you can ride with peace of mind.

The Cistella brake pad is recommened for the following wheels:

Monza (mirror finish alloy wheels)
Bracciano C50T
Bracciano Caliente
Gavia C50T
Gavia Caliente
Rome 5-Spoke
Padova Carbon Tubular
Padova Carbon Clincher
Lignano C50T
Vicenza C50T (F)
Vicenza C90T (R)

Wheels with carbon braking surfaces may have their warranty void by using other types of brake pads.

The Cistella also offers excellent braking performance on alloy braking surfaces.
