The Brake Authority Burly BA4035B brake pads embody braking excellence for MTB, born from the performance quest of an exceptional champion: Fabien Barel, three-time DH world champion. Designed in high-performance sintered metal and manufactured in France, these revolutionary brake pads integrate the exclusive NoNitech (nickel-free) technology to combine rider safety and environmental respect. Compatible with AVID Juicy 3/5/7/Ultimate and BB7 systems, they establish themselves as the reference choice for XC, All-Mountain and Enduro riders demanding powerful, progressive and consistent braking.

Brake Authority DNA: Performance and Respect

Created in 2008 by Fabien Barel in partnership with Fred Glo and Laurent Cornec (Tribe Sport Group), Brake Authority embodies two fundamental values: Performance derived from competition experience at the highest level, and Respect for the environment and human values. All brake pads are produced in France by a renowned manufacturer in the railway, automotive and motorcycle sectors. The packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable, and NoNitech technology eliminates nickel, a highly toxic mineral for humans and the environment, as well as lead and asbestos.

Technical highlights of the Burly version

• High-performance sintered metal: Compound specially developed for sport and leisure use, offering an excellent durability/power compromise
• Exceptional longevity: Service life remarkably superior to conventional organic pads while preserving disc integrity
• Progressivity and modulation: Excellent proportionality between lever effort and braking power, for precise control in all circumstances
• Reactive bite: Particularly effective when cold and at low speed, ideal for accelerations and technical sections
