Discover the Brake Authority BA4061R brake pads, designed specifically for high-end SRAM hydraulic disc brakes. Made of high-performance sintered metal with ceramic heat shield, they embody the excellence of French craftsmanship in the service of road racing, cyclo-cross and gravel. Developed in collaboration with Fabien Barel, downhill world champion, these pads offer consistent and powerful braking in all conditions, while respecting the environment thanks to NoNitech technology (nickel-free).

Technical Summary

The BA4061R are R-type (Road) sintered metal pads, optimized for competitive use on road and mixed terrain. Their semi-metallic compound with ceramic heat shield guarantees high performance at low and high temperatures, excellent proportionality between lever effort and braking power, and optimal rotor protection. Supplied pre-bedded, they integrate perfectly with SRAM Red, Force (CX1, 1, 22), Rival 22, S-700 and Level Ultimate/TLM calipers (2017-2019 versions).

Technical Highlights

• High-performance sintered metal: Compound developed with a renowned French manufacturer in automotive, rail and motorcycle, for exceptional durability and power.
• Ceramic heat shield: Maintains high performance even at high temperatures, prevents glazing and guarantees braking consistency on long descents or in rainy weather.
• NoNitech technology: Nickel-free, lead-free, asbestos-free formula. Compliant with European requirements, this innovation protects users' health and the environment.
• Pre-bedded: Time-saving and immediate efficiency: the pads are operational from installation, without tedious bedding-in phase.
• Bite and proportionality: Excellent dosing and progressive braking, allowing precise and safe riding in all circumstances.
• Rotor protection: Uniform wear and preservation of the braking surface, for increased longevity of the complete system.

Compatibility and Versatility

These pads fit a wide range of SRAM brakes: Red, Force (all CX1, 1, 22 versions), Rival 22, S-700, as well as Level Ultimate and TLM (2017-2019 models). They are suitable for demanding road, cyclo-cross and gravel use, where braking reliability is critical. Their versatility makes them a reference choice for competitive or sports cyclists seeking performance and safety.

Environmental Commitment and French Manufacturing

• Made in France: Entirely manufactured in France by Brake Authority (brand founded in 2008 by Fabien Barel and Tribe Sport Group), guaranteeing quality, traceability and support for the local economy.
• Eco-responsible packaging: 100% recycled and recyclable packaging, reducing the product's carbon footprint.
• Recycling program: Brake Authority offers to collect used pads for recycling, in a sustainable development approach.
• CO₂ impact reduction: Constant testing and technical improvements to minimize environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.

Proven Competition Performance

Coming from the Brake Authority research laboratory and field-tested by former champions (Fabien Barel in EWS, Levy Batista French motocross champion turned MTB enduro rider), the BA4061R benefit from a demanding validation process. They have demonstrated their superiority against glazing, their consistency when temperature rises, and their ability to deliver incredible power gain in critical situations. This high-level feedback translates into biting, reliable and durable braking for all road and gravel enthusiasts.
