Any V-brake caliper that requires a Shimano groove, thin-line brake pad can immediately be upgraded with the M70R2 V-Brake Pad. This standard compound version is good all around- in dry, dusty, wet, muddy, and clean conditions. The curvature delivers maximum rim interaction and the deep in-cuts release water, dirt and heat for better performance. While there aren't many riders using V-brake pads for mountain biking these days, many cyclocross riders stick to lighter weight cantilever brake systems, and many of the best use the longer mountain bike pad design. Get a pair of premium Shimano V-brake pads, with installation pins, and attack with confidence this season.
