Reviews over the

Swissstop Flash / Race Pro Black Prince

I bought these carbon wheel pads for use with Vision Metron wheels having used the standard ones which were already Swisstop branded Vision but in the "Flash Evo Black Prince" version. Unfortunately, these 'flash/race pro' brake pads, unlike the evo, have a softer compound and wear out quickly, leaving residual material on rim and pad. It's really incredible how much material wears off already after an outing with many descents. The only positive side is that compared to the evo model they are less noisy and do not whistle with the slightest contamination of dirt or excessive heat from the braking track. Braking is decent at least in the dry, in the wet I haven't had the chance to test them yet.
