Koolstop is the benchmark for rim brake performance. Trusted by professional cyclists, touring riders and everyday commuters for decades, Koolstop brake pads deliver consistently outstanding stopping power whether conditions are dry, wet or somewhere in between.
Why Choose Koolstop?
Koolstop pads outperform standard OEM brake pads in nearly every test of wet and dry braking performance. The compound formulations are optimised for specific rim materials, giving you the best possible stopping power from your current wheel and brake setup.
Salmon Compound
Koolstop's Salmon compound is their most popular option, delivering exceptional wet-weather braking performance. If you ride in NZ's rain or wet conditions regularly, Salmon compound pads are the upgrade that will make the most noticeable difference to your stopping distances.
Dura and Black Compounds
For dry conditions and hot descents, Koolstop's Dura compound offers excellent heat resistance and consistent braking feel. Black compound pads are the versatile all-conditions option, suitable for everyday riding in mixed NZ weather.
Compatible with Most Brake Systems
Koolstop makes pads for a wide range of rim brake systems including Shimano, Campagnolo, SRAM and Tektro. Available in both threaded and smooth cartridge styles to fit the most common brake calipers on the market.
Threaded and Cartridge Options
Koolstop pads come in both screw-threaded and cartridge formats. The cartridge system lets you swap compounds quickly and cost-effectively - just slide out the worn pad and clip in a fresh one, no tools required.
Long-Lasting Performance
Koolstop pads last well and maintain consistent performance throughout their life. Investing in quality brake pads like Koolstop is one of the simplest and most cost-effective safety upgrades you can make to any rim-brake bike.
