{"product_id":"ks-d200s","title":"Sintered Hayes Promax Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D200S is a sintered disc brake pad built for riders who demand reliable stopping power in demanding conditions. Whether you are descending the Western Ghats, navigating Leh's high-altitude mountain passes, or riding through Coorg's wet forest roads, these pads are engineered to perform where standard compounds hesitate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's riding terrain puts brake pads through a serious workout — long Lonavala descents, dusty Rajasthan trails, and monsoon-slicked roads around Ooty all demand consistent bite without fade. The KS-D200S sintered compound holds up where organic pads soften and lose feel. The copper-plated backing plate adds structural integrity and helps dissipate heat, making these a genuinely practical upgrade for riders who push their descents hard or carry weight on loaded touring bikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKool-Stop pads use caliper-specific fitment rather than clothing sizes. The KS-D200S is designed for the same caliper range as the D200 series. Before ordering, confirm your caliper model and rotor size. Riders in high-heat cities like Hyderabad or Chennai running long commutes should find the sintered compound's heat tolerance particularly beneficial compared to resin alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KS-D200S fits the same range of hydraulic and mechanical disc brake calipers as the standard D200. The sintered compound is compatible with both stainless steel and iron rotors. Avoid contaminating pads with chain lube or brake fluid. Bed in the pads properly over 20–30 controlled stops before full-power braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your braking system with quality disc rotors, hydraulic brake levers, or mechanical disc calipers from the Cobbled Climbs brakes range. Stainless steel rotor bolts and a torque wrench are also worth considering to ensure safe installation and consistent caliper alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/koolstop\"\u003eExplore the full KOOLSTOP collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised KOOLSTOP retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the Kool-Stop KS-D200S best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe KS-D200S is best suited for demanding riding conditions where consistent braking power is critical — think long mountain descents on the Western Ghats, loaded touring on Himalayan roads, or wet monsoon riding in Coorg and Ooty.
