{"product_id":"ks-d294","title":"Orrganic Avid Code R Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D294 disc brake pads are a direct-fit replacement for SRAM Avid Code R, Code R RSC, and SRAM Guide RE brake systems. Engineered for consistent modulation and reliable stopping power, these pads are a smart, no-fuss upgrade for trail and enduro riders across India who demand dependable braking in varied conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you ride the rocky descents around Lonavala, the steep switchbacks of Ooty, or the wet, unpredictable trails of Coorg during monsoon season, brake pad quality is not a detail to overlook. The KS-D294 offers the kind of consistent bite and modulation that Kool-Stop is known for globally. At a lightweight approximately 25 grams per pair, these pads add minimal rotational mass while delivering reassuring control when the gradient turns serious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake pads are not sized by rider build, but correct caliper fitment is essential. The KS-D294 is designed specifically for SRAM Avid Code R (2011 onwards), Code R RSC, and SRAM Guide RE calipers. Before ordering, confirm your exact caliper model from the brake lever or caliper body. Incorrect pad selection is a common mistake — double-check your SRAM model year to ensure a precise fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with SRAM Avid Code R (2011–current), Code R RSC with spring, and SRAM Guide RE disc brake calipers.
