{"product_id":"swissstop-disc-34-rs-disc-brake-pads","title":"SwissStop Disc 34 RS Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SwissStop Disc 34 RS is the organic (resin) pad our workshop reaches for when a rider says their braking feels vague, noisy, or unpredictable. Swiss-made, quiet, and progressive — it turns a road or gravel disc brake into something you stop thinking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy riders choose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc RS organic compound.\u003c\/strong\u003e Most stock pads either grab suddenly or need a hard squeeze before anything happens, which makes fast descents tiring and twitchy. The RS compound bites immediately and builds power in proportion to lever pressure, so you can brake later, trail the brakes into a corner, and hold your line instead of scrubbing too much speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistently quiet operation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Squealing and howling pads are the single most common complaint with disc road bikes — and they get worse in the wet. The RS is rated 10\/10 for noise in both dry and wet conditions, so group rides stay quiet and you stop wincing every time you touch the lever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth feel at the lever.\u003c\/strong\u003e Grabby pads pump your hands and forearms on long alpine descents. The RS modulates cleanly, which means less hand fatigue after 20 minutes of continuous braking and more control when you are tired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh durability.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cheap resin pads wear out in a few wet weeks. The RS is engineered for a long service life, so you spend less time in the workshop and less money over a season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood heat tolerance for an organic pad.\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic pads are usually the first to fade on long descents. The RS holds its power far better than a standard resin pad, so braking on the tenth hairpin feels like the first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance profile (SwissStop, 0–10)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial bite: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModulation: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLongevity: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat tolerance: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise, dry: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise, wet: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment — Disc 34 shape\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimano pad types replaced:\u003c\/strong\u003e K03S, K02S, L03A, L02A, L04C, K04S-MX, K04Ti-RX, K05S-RX, K05Ti-RX, L05A-RF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimano calipers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dura-Ace BR-R9270 \/ BR-R9170 · Ultegra BR-R8170 \/ BR-R8070 · 105 BR-R7170 \/ BR-R7070 · Tiagra BR-4770 · GRX BR-RX820 \/ BR-RX810 \/ BR-RX400 · XTR BR-M9200 \/ BR-M9110 \/ BR-M9100 · XT BR-M8110 · SLX BR-M7110 · Metrea BR-U5000 · BR-RS805 · BR-RS505 · BR-RS405 · BR-RS305.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRP:\u003c\/strong\u003e HD-T910. \u003cstrong\u003eTektro:\u003c\/strong\u003e HD-R510, HD-R310. \u003cstrong\u003eREVER:\u003c\/strong\u003e MCX1 Flat Mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which shape you have?
