{"product_id":"ks-d240","title":"Organic Hayes Dominion A Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe KOOLSTOP KS-D240 is a replacement brake pad engineered specifically for the Hayes Dominion A four-piston disc brake system. Designed for riders who demand consistent stopping power across varying terrain and weather, these pads bring reliable, fade-resistant braking performance to trail, enduro, and gravel riding in Indian conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you run Hayes Dominion A brakes and ride the steep, loose descents around Lonavala, Coorg, or the Nilgiris near Ooty, pad compound choice matters enormously. The KS-D240 is built for the Dominion A's four-piston caliper, delivering the bite and modulation that technical descents demand. Indian monsoon riding adds mud and grit to the equation, and a quality replacement pad keeps your braking distances predictable even when the trail is wet and slippery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake pads are not sized by rider build, but caliper compatibility is critical. The KS-D240 is designed exclusively for the Hayes Dominion A four-piston caliper. Confirm your caliper model before ordering. Riders in Pune, Hyderabad, and Delhi who run aftermarket or upgraded brake systems should verify their caliper generation matches the Dominion A platform to ensure a correct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KS-D240 is compatible with the Hayes Dominion A four-piston disc brake caliper only.
