Description
Disc brake performance lives and dies by pad quality. On monsoon-slicked roads from Lonavala to Coorg, or during long descents through the Western Ghats, the Alligator Extreme Avid Carbon DISC Brake Pads delivers the modulation and heat control that riders need when conditions turn demanding. Engineered specifically for disc systems, these pads are a focused upgrade over generic replacements.
Use Cases
Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.
Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.
Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.
Our Take
Riders tackling the Western Ghats, Ooty switchbacks, or Pune's rain-soaked ring roads know that braking confidence is everything. Alligator's Extreme Avid Carbon pads are formulated for disc systems where heat buildup and wet-weather consistency matter most. At Rs. 1,490, this is one of the most practical safety upgrades an Indian cyclist can make — effective across scorching summer riding and unpredictable monsoon conditions alike.
Sizing for Indian Riders
These pads are designed for Avid disc brake systems — confirm your caliper model before ordering. Sizing here means compatibility, not body fit: verify your rotor diameter (typically 140mm, 160mm, or 180mm) and mount standard. In India's heat, sintered compounds generally handle thermal stress better than organic pads on long descents.
Compatibility Notes
Designed for Avid disc brake calipers. Confirm caliper model compatibility before installation. Match pad compound to your rotor material — never use carbon-specific pads on alloy rotors. Check rotor diameter and mount type (post-mount or flat-mount). Inspect rotors for wear before fitting new pads. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol after installation to avoid contamination.
Pairs Well With
Complete your braking setup with compatible disc rotors in the correct diameter, hydraulic brake fluid or a bleed kit if running a hydraulic system, a torque wrench for precise caliper mounting, and quality brake cables or hose for mechanical disc setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Alligator Extreme Avid Carbon DISC Brake Pads best used for?
These pads are best suited to road and gravel cyclists running Avid disc brake systems who need reliable stopping power in varied conditions. They shine on long descents through the Western Ghats, during monsoon commutes in cities like Pune or Chennai, and on any ride where heat buildup from sustained braking is a concern.
How do I know if these pads fit my brake system?
Compatibility depends on your specific Avid caliper model, not your frame size. Check your caliper model name and cross-reference with Alligator's compatibility list. Also confirm your rotor diameter (140mm, 160mm, or 180mm) and mount type. If you're unsure, reach out to the Cobbled Climbs team before placing your order.
Will these brake pads hold up in Indian monsoon conditions and 35°C+ heat?
Yes. Disc brake pads generally outperform rim brake pads in wet weather, making them well suited to India's monsoon season. The carbon compound in these pads handles heat generated during long descents and stop-start city traffic. Riders in hot cities like Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, or Delhi will find these pads maintain consistent bite even in demanding summer conditions.
How do these compare to standard organic disc brake pads?
Carbon-compound pads typically offer better heat resistance than standard organic pads, making them more suitable for sustained braking on Ghat descents or loaded touring. Organic pads can be quieter and gentler on rotors but may fade under prolonged heat. For Indian riding — especially hilly routes near Lonavala, Khandala, or Coorg — the added heat tolerance is a genuine advantage.
Are these brake pads worth Rs. 1,490 and what warranty is included?
At Rs. 1,490, the Alligator Extreme Avid Carbon pads offer solid value compared to OEM replacements from major brake brands. Brake pads are a safety-critical component where quality directly affects rider confidence. Warranty terms follow Alligator's standard policy — contact Cobbled Climbs for details. Free delivery applies on orders above Rs. 2,500, and cash on delivery is available across India.
