What SRAM brakes use Asymmetric Monoblock Organic Steel Quiet pads?

SRAM Disc Brake Pads in the Asymmetric Monoblock Organic Steel Quiet format are the quiet, modulated pad option for SRAM's Monoblock road hydraulic disc caliper family — Level A1 (2017–2019) and compatible HRD road brake systems. The Monoblock asymmetric pad shape is specific to this caliper generation and not interchangeable with standard small-format road or MTB pads. Organic compound delivers smooth, progressive braking feel with low noise — the characteristics that matter most for most road and gravel cyclists who are not regularly descending in extreme conditions. The quiet character of organic compound makes these the everyday road disc pad for smooth, controlled braking through corners, on descents, and in wet conditions where organic maintains better rotor grip than sintered. Steel backing handles heat dissipation at the caliper. Each kit includes two pads, a spreader spring, pad pin, and clip.

For road disc riders on Monoblock calipers, the organic compound is the correct daily-use pad for typical road and gravel riding — it runs quieter, provides better feel and modulation than sintered, and performs well in the wet. If your road riding frequently involves long alpine descents where brakes are under sustained load, the sintered Monoblock pad is the more appropriate thermal spec. For everything else, the Asymmetric Monoblock Organic Steel Quiet is the right pad to be on. Verify your caliper is the Monoblock generation (Level A1, 2017–2019) before ordering — earlier and later SRAM road calipers use a different pad format.
