Brake Authority Burly Type B brake pads represent French excellence in MTB braking for Cross-Country, All-Mountain and Enduro riding. Compatible with AVID X0 Trail, AVID Elixir Trail and SRAM Guide brakes, these high-performance sintered metal pads offer an optimal compromise between braking power, exceptional longevity and rotor preservation. Developed by Brake Authority, a French brand founded in 2008 by three-time DH world champion Fabien Barel, they embody the pursuit of performance and innovation for demanding riders.

Technical highlights

• Exceptional longevity (5/5): Thanks to their optimized semi-metallic sintered metal composition, these pads offer remarkable durability, far superior to organic pads, while preserving the integrity of your brake rotors.
• Power and progressiveness (4/5): Precise modulation and progressive braking allow optimal control in all circumstances. Easy to modulate, they offer excellent bite without being too aggressive.
• NoNitech Technology: Semi-metallic pad material without nickel, compliant with the strictest European standards, eliminating lead, asbestos and nickel for a product that respects your health and the environment.
• Pre-bedded: Delivered ready to use, these pads are pre-bedded at the factory for immediate performance from the first ride, without tedious bedding-in phase.
• High temperature resistance (3/5): Well suited for recreational riding and XC-AM-Enduro competition, they offer satisfactory braking consistency even when temperature rises, without suffering from premature fading.

Precise compatibilities

These Brake Authority BA4060B pads are specifically designed to fit the following 4-piston calipers:

• AVID: X0 Trail (4 pistons), Elixir 7 Trail, Elixir 9 Trail, Guide R, Guide RS, Guide RSC
• SRAM: G2 RSC, G2 Ultimate

Brake Authority expertise: Performance and Respect

Brake Authority is a French company based in Cogolin, created in 2008 by Fabien Barel, three-time downhill MTB world champion. The brand has established itself in the high-end bicycle braking market thanks to a unique approach: a partnership with a renowned French manufacturer in the rail, automotive and motorcycle sectors, guaranteeing cutting-edge expertise in friction and performance. Each pad is the result of intensive field testing conducted by passionate champions and engineers, ensuring products that are both high-performing and reliable.

• European manufacturing: ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified factories, guaranteeing production quality and environmental respect.
• Eco-responsible approach: 100% recyclable packaging, used pad recycling program, CO2 impact reduction. The South Shore Bicycles group (parent company) dedicates 1% of its revenue to environmental preservation.
• Constant innovation: Dedicated R&D laboratory, over 150 pad models available, three types of compounds (A-Aggressive, B-Burly, C-Ceramic) to meet all needs.

Type B - Burly: The perfect balance

The Type B Burly positions itself as the ideal choice for riders seeking a balance between performance and durability. Unlike Type A (intensive Enduro/FR/DH use) which is more aggressive but less durable, or Type C (competition with ceramic) which is more powerful at high temperature, Type B offers:

• Maximum durability (5/5) to extend pad replacement intervals
• Balanced braking power (4/5) largely sufficient for XC, All-Mountain and amateur Enduro
• Excellent rotor respect, extending the lifespan of the entire braking system
• Predictable and progressive behavior, facilitating technical riding and tight corners

Use and maintenance

These pads are delivered pre-bedded with spring, ready to install. They are perfectly suited for regular Cross-Country, All-Mountain and Enduro rides, offering reliability and consistency kilometer after kilometer. Their sintered metal composition makes them perform well in dry or wet conditions, in mud or dusty terrain. For optimal braking, keep your rotors clean and regularly check wear. At end of life, Brake Authority offers a recycling program: return your used pads to the brand's headquarters for ecological recovery.
