Clarks EVRS859 E-Bike Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads – SRAM / Avid
The Clarks EVRS859 is a semi-metallic disc brake pad set built specifically for e-bikes that demand stronger, more consistent braking under higher loads. The compound is tuned to handle the added speed and weight of electric bikes while maintaining control on longer descents.
This set includes enough pads for both front and rear brakes, making it a practical, shop-friendly replacement for common SRAM and Avid systems used on e-bikes.

Service / Ownership Context
Semi-metallic pads balance power, heat resistance, and longevity, making them a solid choice for e-bikes. Proper bed-in is important for consistent performance and rotor life. Expect slightly more noise than organic pads, especially in wet or cold conditions.
Fit & Use Signals
• You ride an e-bike with compatible SRAM or Avid brakes
• You want stronger braking than organic pads
• You ride at higher speeds or carry extra weight
• Not a fit if your brake uses a different pad shape
• Not a fit if you prioritize the quietest possible braking
