Pad types for Hope, Echo, Magura and Shimano brakes!
More powerful than standard pads!

- Sintered disc brake pads from Jitsie!
- Available in various types: to fit Hope Mono Trial / Tech Trial / Trial Zone / V2 / and Echo TR hydraulic disc brakes. Will also fit the Jitsie Race Complete disc brake.
- Also available to fit various Magura brakes from the MT range. Please note the MT5 / 7 pads are one piece rather than two, and clip into the caliper with 'ears' rather than using the retention pin (requires caliper pistons to be pushed back fully before installation - a plastic tyre lever is a great tool for this!).
- Shimano MT400 brake pads fit a wide range of Shimano brakes including the following Shimano brake models:
BR-C501, BR-M575, BR-M525, BR-MT400, BR-M495, BR-M486, BR-M485, BR-M475, BR-M465, BR-M447, BR-M446, BR-M445, BR-M416, BR-M416A, BR-M415, BR-M395, BR-M375, BR-T675, BR-T615
- Special compound specific to trials offers massively improved performance over standard pads in both wet and dry conditions.
- Copper backing is softer than normal, ensuring the pads 'stick' to the pistons in the caliper and don't clunk around.
- Please note that dragging the brake at high speed for a period of time will wear off the top surface of the pads, and performance will decrease until the brake has been used 'normally' again a few times.

Savage Power!

Got these for Hope Trial Zone's using Hope's rotors. After spending around 30 minutes with some water on the discs getting them bedded in, they are ridiculously powerful. For the rear brake these will be the only pads I use, the bite is amazing, the hold is incredible. Easily more power than an MT7 using stock pads.

Reply from TartyBikes

Thanks for the feedback! The Jitsie Trials pads are fantastic, we are big fans of them at Tarty Bikes, they do give great bite and hold and are an excellent upgrade for squeezing as much power out of your brakes as possible. We're glad you like them as much as we do!

Great!

Great upgrade for a Magura MT!

Hi Clifford - we're glad you like your new pads! We've found they do offer a lot more bite and hold than the standard Magura pads.

Hope trial zone

Posted by Liam

Well these pads are my go to pad. The stopping power is immense. I am on my 5th pair and I can’t get enough. I run these on every trials disc brake I own. When fitted with hopes you do get a little noise from the pad slipping against the piston in some cases I have not yet managed to cure this but the stopping power and bite far out ways the little crack every now and then.

Hi Liam!
We've found that these pads tend to have less of the pad knock/slip that you've found compared to the standard Hope pads, but if there is any movement it should disappear fairly quickly after use.
If it comes to it, you can sand the back of the pads a little to help them key into the pistons better.
We're glad that you're happy with the power and performance of them - thanks for the review!

Power

Posted by Karl

What a difference these make, was running standard pads in my magura mt sport but was getting a little bit of slip, I’ve now finished bedding in these beauties and all my problems are over really great pads with lots of power and good modulation! Cheers tarty bikes as ever you’re the best.

Great to hear - thanks Karl!

The best disc brake pads I've ever run..

Posted by TheDemolitionMAN

I've been riding trials for so long, I've had the luxury of being able to run the plazmatic disc pads and they were awesome.The Jitsie pads are among the best I've run so far, they work in all weather conditions.There's nearly no break in period and they pretty much work out the box.No matter what type of obstacle I was riding, the Jitsie pads held their ground and made sure I stopped. These brake pads are just amazing and I'd recommend them to any trials rider..THEDMAN

Hi Bobby!
It's a shame Plazmatic no longer make their pads - both their disc and rim pads were great.
We're glad you've found a suitable replacement for them though - thanks for the review!

JITSIE PADS

Posted by DARREN

i had given up on my echo tr front brake as a bit crap and put it on my secondary bike and put my bb7 back on but with these pads OMG the power straight out the box thy are better than the old pads and thy just keep getting better tr is now back on my main bike now then you press the front brake you get lunched across the earth on a ballistic trajectory (USER WARNING YOU CAN NOW GO OVER THE BARS) awesome

Hi Darren - It's great to hear the Jitsie pads have improved your brake. Hopefully you can stay on the right side of your bars from now on!

MT2 pads are outstanding!

Posted by Dean

I bought a complete bike from tartybikes that came with dual MT2's and 7. Comfort pads from magura fitted and I had a little problem with slipping wheels on full lock. I tried 7. Performance(The best) and 7. Race(better than Comfort) from magura with mixed results and more importantly, caution with brakes every time I used them. As you can understand my confidence was holding me back at this point and progression stopped in trials. So I started hunting for better pads as I wanted to believe in the MT2 brake and Jitsie pads was recommended. I looked everywhere for these pads to fit my brake type and was crushed to find no one stocked them at any bike shops. I sent a vain email to tartybikes being the UK Jitsie dealer asking for MT2 pads and started planning a huge spend on entirely new brake systems. Now I couldn't tell you if my email worked or not but by chance I checked tartybikes and saw MT2 Jitsie pads! Bought on the spot and kept my cool while fitting them on arrival to prevent disappointment if they didn't work, well.... after 15mins bedding in time and cooldown after, I nearly flew over my haddle bars when I hit the brake, amazed. Dialed back for modulation tests and it's tough because of the death bite but a little practice and I can hit a feather everytime! Both wheels I have tried very hard to get to slip and not once have they let me down. As everyone else has reviewed they are that good.

Hi Dean - We'd been planning on stocking these pads for some time, but we've only just been able to get hold of them. I'm glad it happened to be at the right time for you, and also that you've had such good results with them too. They are a great upgrade to the standard MT2s fitted to the Jitsie bikes! Thanks for the detailed review.

Best Pads Available

Posted by Seth

I purchased these pads along with a Hope Trial Zone V2 180mm rotor. What a HUGE difference over my 160mm Mono rotor and stock pads. After about 5 mins of lightly dragging my brake, my braking power seems to have doubled. Bite and hold are considerably better than my old setup and that's after just a few mins of break in. Give these pads a chance and you won't be sorry. Thanks Tartybikes!

Hi Seth - It's great to hear you've had such a positive experience with these pads. Thanks for the review!

Superb power

Posted by Roland

Not much can be said about the Jitsie pads rather than go and buy these. Compared to ANY other pads I've used, the bed in time is 1/10th of the time that other pads need and the sheer braking power is just ridiculous. Used them on a mod with 160mm rotors (Echo) for 2 years, not one slip. Now going to use them on a streetrials bike with 200mm rotors, seems like overkill. Top notch service from Tarty as usual. Everything arrived perfect.

Hi Roland - Thanks for the detailed review, I'm glad you're happy with your pads!

The one and only

Wow, i feel safe now, awsome grip just after some few minutes riding and jumping. Thanks!

Unbeatable!

Posted by Dave

Previously bought these to run on my 200mm Trialzone on the front of my stock and just bought another set for my 24" street bike. Cannot rate these highly enough, took barely any bedding in at all and even with my brake not working properly they still locked up 100% when I needed them and outperformed every front brake I've had previously. If you've got a Hope and are thinking of switching to a Saint then give these a go first, you won't be disappointed!

Thanks for the review Dave, glad you like 'em as much as I do! Adam

Awesome!!

Posted by Andrew

Bought these pads to replace front and rear stock Echo TR disc pads. They bedded in very quick and had great bite and hold, even noticeable after less a day of riding around. I plan on ordering these for my Hope Trial Zones. Great brake pads!

Hi Andrew - thanks for your review. These pads are a slightly softer compound which makes them incredibly powerful, as you've found. Several of us here use them on our own bikes for the very same reason! Thanks, Flipp.

Fantastic pads

Posted by Sam

I'm running these pads front and rear on Hope Trial Zones with a 180 rotor and they are incredible. So much bite and hold, I couldn't possibly ask for more. They took very little time to bed in and are far better than the standard Hope pads. I'm 13 stone and they won't slip!! I won't buy anything else now.

big improvement

Posted by rhys

Brought these as I have just made my mod dual disc and adam recommend these. And I must say they are amazing. Straight from the off they were on par with bedded in hopes.. but these have just got better and better. Amazing bite and hold. Much better than any hope ive felt, vast braking improvement and I would recommend them to anyone.
