Reviews over the

Swissstop Flash / Race Pro BXP

For me in the top range, does not wear the rims does not retain impurities as schimano

Mantel provided best value that I could find. Excellent delivery service.

Pros & Cons

Bought a set of alu DT Swiss PR 1400 climbing wheels These blocks keep the brake rim black. Brakes excellent.

Pros & Cons

Brakes on the Oxic rim very good

I won't be using any other brake pads. Prior to 5 days of cycling in the Dolomites, I bought these brake pads and they are top notch. Both in carry and wet weather they brake very well. This gives confidence when going downhill at speeds of 50 Km and more.

Pros & Cons

The perfect choice for my Xentis carbon rims. Really good braking performance in all conditions.

Pros & Cons

I used these pads for the first time 4 years ago on the descent of the Col du Tourmalet and I can confirm that they are the best in terms of braking power and longevity.

Pros & Cons

Break-in first, then the pads brake well. Supplied bolts are poor, hex key spins quickly without giving too much force on Shimano105. Tip: Use your old bolts from Shimano

Pros & Cons

Very effective product

Pros & Cons

Good upgrade over classic Shimano skates

Pros & Cons

I've been scared in the rain on the descent of the Tourmalet since I adopted these skates, and I've never found myself in this difficult situation.

Pros & Cons

Best blocks I've ever used. With Ultegra r8000 brake hubs very impressive performance. And not only in dry weather. (Combined with wheels: DT swiss pr 1400 oxic 32 or p1800s)

Pros & Cons

Uitzonderlijke remkracht in combinatie met DT Swiss Oxic keramische velgranden. Maakt afdalen een stuk prettiger!

Pros & Cons

Convenient assembly, this is my 2nd set. I really like the previous set

Pros & Cons

Top brake pads, nice in the colour blue matching my road bike

Pros & Cons

Wear-resistant, no problems with lowering

Pros & Cons

Easy installation and good quality.

Great braking performance in the dry and wet, yet gentle on the rim

Pros & Cons

Although my Shimano brake pads were still OK, I bought these pads for a trip to the Alps. That turned out to be a big mistake. At maximum brake force, the braking is still little. They hardly brake at all. In my opinion, these pads are totally unsuitable for the mountains, (life) threatening even. Fortunately, I took my old Shimano brake pads with me and put them back on. What a difference! An even bigger improvement than I thought.

Pros & Cons

I can't believe the difference compared to Shimano. These are much better. The stopping powers excellent, with great modulation, and they don't feel like they're hard on the rims.

Pros & Cons

brakes much better than the shimano blocks I have used in the past. The wear on the rims is reduced as well.

Pros & Cons

Excellent compound - brilliant performance and good longevity, with the benefit of them not being too abrasive and wearing brake tracks on rims prematurely like cheap standard pads do. Only negative to mention is that the retaining bolts supplied with them are worthy of nothing but the bin, so simply re-use existing.
