SRAM Brake Pads Organic/Steel – Code / Guide RE / DB8
What Is It?
The SRAM Organic/Steel brake pad is a replacement disc brake pad for SRAM's large-caliper MTB brake systems, including Code, Guide RE, and DB8 brakes.
It combines an organic friction compound with a steel backing plate, providing strong initial bite, smooth modulation, and relatively quiet braking. SRAM's current spare-parts catalogue identifies this as part 00.5315.023.030.

- Steel backing plate
- Quiet-running brake pad
- Large SRAM MTB pad format
- Designed for high-performance hydraulic disc brakes
- Compatible with SRAM Code and Guide RE families

Benefits
- Strong initial bite: Organic compound provides good immediate braking response.
- Quiet operation: Organic pads generally produce less noise than sintered alternatives.
- Smooth modulation: Helps provide predictable brake control.
- Good dry-weather performance: Particularly suited to normal and dry riding conditions.
- Steel backing plate: Provides a durable foundation for the friction material.
- Wide compatibility: One pad shape covers several SRAM high-performance MTB brake systems.
Best Suited For
Ideal for trail, enduro, all-mountain, and general MTB riders using compatible SRAM Code, Guide RE, or DB8/DB6/DB4 brakes, particularly riders who prioritise quiet braking and strong initial bite.
SRAM notes that organic pads are generally preferable for dry conditions and riders who like more initial grab, while sintered pads are better suited to heavy-duty braking, downhill riding, and wet or muddy conditions.
Compatibility note: SRAM's DB8 brake uses the same existing Code pad family, and SRAM lists the DB8 as compatible with steel-backed organic pads.
