Brake Authority Burly BA4067B high-performance brake pads, specifically designed for SRAM Force AXS, Red AXS, Rival AXS and SRAM Level Ultimate/TLM brakes (2019 and later models). Developed in collaboration with Fabien Barel, downhill world champion, these NoNitech® sintered metal pads offer the perfect balance between extreme performance and environmental responsibility. Made in France with a unique high-temperature sintering process using over 16 metals, they guarantee power, progressivity and exceptional longevity for all your rides, from XC to Enduro, from road to gravel.

Technical Overview

The Burly BA4067B pads are part of Brake Authority's versatile range, designed for recreational and demanding competitive use. Their sintered metal compound uses exclusive NoNitech® technology (nickel-free formulation), which eliminates this highly toxic mineral for humans and the environment. These pads are pre-bedded at the factory, allowing you to benefit immediately from optimal braking performance upon installation, without a tedious break-in period. Compatible with SRAM center-pin calipers (Force AXS D1/D2, Red AXS, Rival AXS, Level Ultimate and Level TLM post-2019), they integrate perfectly into your hydraulic disc brake system.

Technical Highlights

• Remarkable to exceptional longevity: The high-temperature sintering process and composition based on over 16 metals guarantee a lifespan far superior to standard organic pads, while respecting brake rotors.
• Power and progressivity: Excellent proportionality between lever effort and braking power. Strong bite and precise modulation for total control in all situations (technical descents, emergency braking, cornering modulation).
• All-conditions versatility: Consistent performance in dry, rain, mud or sand. Less prone to glazing than organics, these pads maintain their effectiveness even during prolonged or high-temperature braking.
• Nickel-free NoNitech® technology: Eco-responsible formulation compliant with European requirements (lead-free, asbestos-free), with total nickel elimination for cleaner and less harmful production.
• Pre-bedded at the factory: Ready to use upon installation, you save time and immediately benefit from optimal performance without a break-in phase.
• 100% French manufacturing: Produced in France in an ISO 14001 certified factory, guaranteeing a controlled and traceable manufacturing process, with short supply chain.

Compatibility and Standards

• SRAM road brakes: Force eTap AXS (D1 and D2), Red eTap AXS (D1), Rival eTap AXS (D1), Apex AXS (D1) — 2019 and later models with 2-piece calipers.
• SRAM MTB brakes: Level Ultimate (A1, 2019+), Level TLM (2019+), Level Stealth 2P Ultimate/Silver/Bronze (2023+).
• Avid caliper compatibility: Elixir, XX, X0, DB1/DB3/DB5 (depending on model year and pin type).
• Attention: These pads are specific to SRAM calipers with center mounting pin. If your caliper has a side pin (monoblock), refer to suitable SRAM Monoblock pads.

Brake Authority Environmental Commitment

Brake Authority places Respect at the heart of its values, alongside Performance. The packaging is 100% recyclable and made from already recycled materials. At end of life, used pads can be returned to Brake Authority headquarters to be recycled in a dedicated system. The group is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its production and dedicates 1% of its annual turnover to environmental preservation. With Brake Authority, you brake better while riding cleaner.

Installation and Maintenance

• Delivery: Pair of pads (left + right) with return spring included. Order 2 pairs to equip front and rear.
• Installation: Follow SRAM manufacturer's instructions. Use brake cleaner after each bike wash to maintain pad and caliper cleanliness.
• Replacement: Replace your pads when the total thickness (compound + backing plate) is less than 3 mm. If changing compound type (organic to sintered metal or vice versa), also replace the rotors to avoid noise and guarantee best performance.
• Regular inspection: Inspect your pads every few rides, especially after difficult conditions (muddy gravel, long mountain descents).

Why Choose Brake Authority?

Created in 2008 on the initiative of Fabien Barel (multiple DH world champion and EWS winner) in partnership with Tribe Sport Group, Brake Authority draws on the expertise of a renowned French manufacturer in automotive, railway and motorcycle braking. Field testing is at the heart of product development: each pad is developed and validated in extreme real-world conditions by top-level riders. Today, Brake Authority offers more
