{"product_id":"ks-d320","title":"Organic Formula Oro\/K18 Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D320 disc brake pads are designed specifically for Formula Oro W\/Spring and Oro K18 caliper systems, delivering confident and consistent braking performance across a range of riding conditions. Weighing approximately 18 grams per pair, these lightweight pads are a dependable upgrade or replacement choice for riders who demand precise modulation from their disc brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're running Formula Oro calipers on your road or gravel bike, finding pads that perform reliably through Pune's monsoon descents or the long, punishing drops off Ooty's hill roads is non-negotiable. The KS-D320 offers the consistent bite and controlled modulation that Kool-Stop is known for worldwide. In India's heat and variable road surfaces, having a trusted compound on your disc setup provides real peace of mind on every ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake pads are not size-specific in the clothing sense, but caliper compatibility is critical. The KS-D320 fits Formula Oro W\/Spring and Oro K18 calipers only — verify your exact caliper model before ordering. Indian riders should also note that monsoon mud and Chennai's coastal grime can accelerate pad wear, so keeping a spare pair is always a good idea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible exclusively with Formula Oro W\/Spring and Oro K18 disc brake calipers. Not suitable for other Formula caliper variants or other disc brake brands. Inspect rotor condition regularly, especially after wet or dusty rides on Indian roads, as contaminated rotors reduce pad life significantly. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol before fitting new pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your braking system with quality disc rotors suited to your wheel size, brake-compatible wheelsets, hydraulic brake fluid for system maintenance, and disc brake-specific wheel cleaner to keep rotors and pads performing at their best across every season.\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-D320 best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe KS-D320 is designed as a direct-fit replacement or performance upgrade for riders using Formula Oro W\/Spring or Oro K18 disc brake calipers.
