Extreme Red/force/rival/cx 22 DISC Brake Pads

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.
