The new models bear the designations "Disc25" for the R1 from Formula and "Disc 26" for all Elixir brakes from Avid. Under the name "Disc 27", pads for Shimano's new Saint brakes are also in preparation. Like all other Swissstop pads, the new models have an organic pad compound without asbestos and the toxic heavy metals nickel and lead. Prior to series production, the Swissstop pads were tested for reliable function at the German testing institute Velotech.de.

The pads for the Formula and Avid brakes are already available from stock, those for the new Shimano Saint will follow in the course of June.
