Sunlite SM-19 Semi-Metallic E-Bike Disc Brake Pads – Pair
The Sunlite SM-19 is a semi-metallic disc brake pad set designed to handle the higher weight, speed, and heat loads common on electric bikes. It’s a straightforward replacement option for riders who want dependable braking without moving into premium-priced pads.
These pads are commonly found on Shimano and Clarks brake systems used on commuter, utility, and light trail e-bikes where consistency and durability matter more than outright bite.

Service / Ownership Context
E-bikes place greater demand on brake systems due to added mass and higher sustained speeds. Semi-metallic pads typically last longer than organic pads but may generate slightly more noise, especially when cold. Proper pad bed-in is important to achieve full braking power and to minimize rotor wear.
