JagWire Pro X (Sintered)
Aggressive Bite. Unfailing Performance.
The JagWire Pro Extreme Metallic Pads are designed to thrive where other pads fail. By utilizing a dense, sintered metallic compound bonded to a stiff steel backing plate, JagWire has created a pad that offers a powerful, mechanical "bite" that actually improves as the temperatures rise. Whether you're navigating a rain-soaked commute or a dusty bike park, these pads deliver a consistent, rock-solid lever feel that never fades.
Why the Pro Extreme is a Performance Essential:
-
High-Friction Sintered Compound: Specifically formulated to provide maximum braking torque. It is significantly more abrasive than resin, allowing it to "cut through" mud, oil, and road film to find instant traction on the rotor.
-
Extreme Heat Stability: Engineered to handle the massive thermal loads of gravity riding and heavy E-bikes. These pads resist "glazing" and brake fade, ensuring your stopping distance remains the same at the bottom of the mountain as it was at the top.
-
Exceptional Longevity: The dense metallic structure is incredibly wear-resistant, outlasting organic pads by 3x–4x in wet or abrasive conditions. It’s the definitive "winter riding" pad.
-
Predictable Wet-Weather Power: Unlike organic pads that can feel "mushy" when soaked, the Pro Extreme maintains a sharp, crisp engagement point even in torrential rain or deep mud.
-
Steel Backing Plate Rigidity: The heavy-duty steel plate ensures that every millimeter of piston travel is converted into braking force, eliminating the "spongy" feel associated with thinner backing materials.
-
Cross-Brand Compatibility: JagWire produces the Pro Extreme in shapes to fit almost every major braking system, including Shimano, Sram, Magura, and TRP.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we call these the "mountain-proof" pads. If you are a rider who "drags" their brakes on long descents or someone who rides through the entire Canadian winter, the Pro Extreme is a game-changer. They can be a bit noisier than organic pads in the wet (the trade-off for all that power), but the sheer durability and "fade-free" confidence they provide makes them worth every penny for aggressive riding.
