Description
Wet roads, steep Ghat descents, and the relentless heat of Indian summers demand brake pads that won't quit. The Alligator Extreme disc brake pads are specifically designed for SRAM Red, Force, Rival, and CX 22 hydraulic disc calipers, offering consistent stopping power whether you're navigating Mumbai traffic or descending the Western Ghats in a July downpour.
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
For riders tackling Lonavala and Khandala descents or pushing through Pune's monsoon season, consistent brake modulation is non-negotiable. These Alligator pads deliver reliable stopping power across the full range of SRAM's 22-series groupsets, handling heat build-up on sustained descents without fade. At Rs. 1,490, they're a straightforward, cost-effective upgrade for any SRAM disc brake user prioritising safety and confidence on Indian roads.
Sizing for Indian Riders
These pads are not sized by rider build — compatibility is determined entirely by caliper model. Confirm your SRAM groupset is Red, Force, Rival, or CX 22 disc before ordering. European and Indian market pads share identical specifications, so no conversion is needed. In high-heat conditions above 35°C, sintered compound options generally outperform organic pads in longevity.
Compatibility Notes
Designed specifically for SRAM Red, Force, Rival, and CX 22 hydraulic disc brake calipers. Not compatible with rim brake systems or other SRAM generations. Confirm rotor diameter (140/160/180mm) matches your frame and fork specifications. SRAM hydraulic systems use DOT 5.1 fluid — do not mix fluids. Replace pads before compound wears to metal to protect rotor surfaces.
Pairs Well With
Complete your braking setup with compatible disc rotors matched to your wheel and frame standards, DOT 5.1 hydraulic fluid for annual bleeding, a quality torque wrench for caliper bolt torque, and a rotor truing tool for post-installation alignment. Available at Cobbled Climbs with free delivery above Rs. 2,500 and cash on delivery across India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Alligator Extreme disc brake pads best used for?
These pads are best suited for road, gravel, and cyclocross riders running SRAM Red, Force, Rival, or CX 22 hydraulic disc brake calipers. They perform well in daily training, monsoon riding, and on sustained descents like those in the Western Ghats, Coorg, or Ooty, where consistent modulation and heat resistance matter most.
How do I know which Alligator brake pad to order for my SRAM groupset?
Check the model name printed on your brake caliper. These pads are compatible with SRAM Red 22, Force 22, Rival 22, and CX 22 hydraulic disc calipers specifically. They are not cross-compatible with SRAM AXS, Apex, or older non-22 series calipers. If uncertain, cross-reference your caliper part number with Alligator's compatibility guide before ordering.
Will these brake pads hold up in monsoon conditions and 35°C+ Indian heat?
Yes. Disc brake pads generally outperform rim brake systems in wet monsoon conditions, and these Alligator pads are formulated for varied weather. In sustained 35°C+ heat common across Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai, sintered compounds wear more slowly than organic pads. Inspect pads regularly during monsoon season, as wet grit accelerates compound wear.
How do these Alligator pads compare to OEM SRAM brake pads?
Alligator pads offer a cost-effective alternative to original SRAM replacement pads while maintaining caliper compatibility. OEM pads carry brand assurance and are often available in multiple compounds. Alligator's strength is value and availability — at Rs. 1,490, they're an accessible replacement option for riders who service their own bikes and want reliable everyday performance.
Is Rs. 1,490 good value for disc brake pads in India, and what warranty applies?
At Rs. 1,490, these pads sit in the accessible mid-range for disc brake consumables — a reasonable investment given their direct impact on rider safety. Brake pads are a wear item and typically not covered under a manufacturer warranty in the traditional sense. Cobbled Climbs offers cash on delivery across India and free delivery above Rs. 2,500.
