Insight Brake Pads 72mm

Product Overview

Insight brake pads are 72mm linear pull brake pads designed for BMX bikes with standard brake systems. Featuring grooved rubber compound and included fastening hardware, they deliver reliable stopping power in wet and dry conditions. The pads come as a pair with all necessary mounting components for straightforward installation and adjustment.

Key Features

• 72mm pad length – Standard BMX brake pad size fits most linear pull (V-brake) and cantilever brake systems without modification
• Grooved rubber compound – Channels and grooves cut into the pad surface dissipate water, mud, and debris for improved braking performance in wet weather conditions
• Water dissipation design – Reduces aquaplaning effect between pad and rim, maintaining consistent friction and braking power during rain or muddy riding
• 5mm fastening hardware – Includes bolts and adjustment washers for secure mounting to brake arms with fine-tuning capability
• Adjustment washers – Allow precise pad alignment perpendicular to the rim for even contact and maximum braking efficiency
• Lightweight – 2.10oz per pair minimizes rotating mass on brake systems
• Color options – Available in black, red, or blue for custom brake system appearance
