WOW
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"What an excellent set of pads , I swapped over to the swissstop after reading several reviews and these have great stopping performance and they do not leave a black residue over the rim in the wet .
I run this with a set of Bontrager speed limit brakes and the stopping performance is excellent and braking with one finger is all you need with these pads .
A little pricey which may put you off intially but worth every penny . So far i have 500 miles on these pads with very little sign of wear and still the same performance as the day they arrived .
Excellent addition to any bike and will boost braking performance greatly."

Quite Simply Amazing
Pros: Good Fit, High Quality, amazing performance
"Got these pads to replace the standard Shimano pads I'd been using. All I can say is that they are in a completely different league of performance.
Fitted perfectly into the standard Shimano brake pad's, they even give you 4 new hex head retaining bolts which are a massive improvement over the screws that Shimano fits (which have a tendancy to sieze up if not lightly greased).
In wet or dry the bite of these pads feels the same!
All I can say is, anyone running Shimano brakes with the standard pads, once they run out you would be a fool not to get a set of these!"

Cons: Expensive
"Bought these pads after reading the reviews on here and have found them to be as poeple have said. Great confidence builders and so much better than my ultegra pads in the wet.
Quite expensive but they do work. The green colour is very subtle not as vivid as it shows on the pics.

Excellent braking on alloy rims in all weather
Pros: Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality
"For aluminium clincher rim brake surfaces, look no further than the Swissstop Green Brake Pads. I have found their performance to be exemplary in all weather conditions. They perform fabulously in dismal, rainy weather conditions which is reassuring when descending a mountain pass!
They easily slide into a Shimano compatible holder. The green pad colour may not be for everyone but they add a touch of flair to your brakes.
If you're tired of lacklustre braking performance on aluminium clincher rims, try a set!"

Different Class
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality
"Switched to these pads for winter, very impressed with the improvement in performance over the stock Shimano pads. These Swiss made pads really do live up to their excellent reputation].
I ride in all conditions and these pads give peace of mind on wet descents, are silent in action and don't leave residue all over your rims.
A great, simple way to upgrade your road bike. As for the premium price, in terms of improvement in performance compared to money spent you would be hard pushed to find a better bargain."

Awesome green pads
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"Just before an epic 1 day ride (3800m climbing up and down over 200km), I swapped my fairly new swissstop black pads for the GHP pads. They are simply awesome!! On the first big descent I grabbed on for the first hairpin and nearly shot off the front of the bike, which stuck like glue onto the road. Great feel, immense stopping power (wet and dry), and good longevity. Plus they don't leave black crud all over my rims.
A tad expensive, but worth it!!"

The best £20 you can spend on your road bike
Pros: Good Fit, High Quality, high performance
"The best £20 you can spend on your road bike
I have a Trek Madone 4.5 that came with Tektro Dual Pivot caliper brakes. When the pads wore out, I went for a pair of the SwissStop pads. I am very impressed.
These brake pads allow one finger braking ... even in the wet.
Gone is the scraping noise when braking. Instead just really well modulated power that (in my opinion) stops you with 30% less force at the levers.
I can't say how they compare to Shimano blocks, but compared to the generic Tektro blocks, they are fantastic.
The best £20 I have spent on my bike... ever."

Huge difference
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality
"I'm running a Cannondale Caad9 5 with shoddy tektro brakes, and I was so close to upgrading the entire brake calipers. Thankfully, I decided to upgrade the pads first, and these make a huge difference to the stopping power and modulation. For the price, it's definitely worth trying these first to see if its the brake calipers that need upgrading or as in my case, just the pads.
After a few hundred km's, the wear appears to be better as well."

Worth every penny
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit
"Spot on product and worth every penny. Cannot believe people think these are expensive..... they could save your life!
Not a bit of the "messy black stuff" that you get from other cheap pads, which makes cleaning easy. Excellent in the wet (and dry) will stick to these from now on. 4 in pack and fitted to my Cannondale C4 calipers no problem. Been on the bike for about 1000 mile so far and I do use them a lot on the Scottish hills! and they have very little wear. A totally excellent purchase."

"Excellent brake pads for a very good price.
Only strange thing was that they are slightly smaller than the Swissstop ones that come with the SRAM Force brake set, however this doesn't cause any problems."

Pros: Durable, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
"Whenever I buy a new bike or a new set of brakes I always put a set of these pads on.
When it comes to pads they are the tops...nothing else comes close. They are silent, judder free, and last for ages (I've normally bought my next bike before I've got throught the pads!).....but most importantly the performance improvement is noticable, even in the wet.
They may come at a price.....but it's worth it.
The green colour on these pads is more subtle than the older versions, so they are not as vivid and noticable on your bike, but this may appeal to people who prefer subtlety.
All in all, great performance pads, and worth every penny."

The benchmark of brake pads
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
"Work in the dry
Work in the wet
I am not afraid of heavy downhill braking at 80 km/hr using these.
Swissstop Flash Pro Green are the benchmark of brake pads for alloy rims.
Will keep on using them."

"You get a little yellow sticker in the packet which is nice, it would easily fit on your bike frame or helmet, possibly your mobile phone.
The screws they came with weren't very good, Allen key chewed the end.
Very good pads though. They seem to stop me faster than the shimano ones."

"Bought this sometime ago and I have fully tested them and they do the job really well.
I use my bike for the daily commute as well as weekend ridding and so I have clocked up a lot of miles with this and they are still going strong.
Stopping in the dry they are brilliant.
Stopping in the wet is not as good but are still good that you know you will stop.
My only issue's are that they are a little tight to fit but that no big deal and you will need to clean the muck out that builds up in the groves.
I will most certainly be buying these again."

Great Pads!
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
"Switched to these after using Shimanos mostly and Koolstops for a while. I hated the Koolstops cos they felt so different to Shimano, and didn't seem to stop as well.
The Swissstop pads have good feel and stop very well. I'd put them ahead of the Shimano pads. I haven't tried them in the wet yet, but in the dry they're excellent."

Strangely amazed
Pros: High Quality, effective
Cons: Expensive
"Its a brake pad, right? How good could it be? I read a few reviews about the improved performance and decided the extra few ££ might be worth it. It is. By halfway through my first ride I was significantly more confident cornering and descending due to the increased braking power. Without naming names, I replaced worn out high end OEM pads with these."

Superb
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, superb feel
"Read the reviews on here and quite a few people rating these on various forums, so thought I'd try them. Wow! They have really transformed the braking power and feel. Almost feels like your connected to the wheel and road. They might seem expensive, but worth every penny. I've done a few hundred miles on them now, and they seem to be lasting good too. Bonus. Using them on Mavic CXP22 rims."

revalation! brakes that work!
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
Cons: no real cons
"Having trundled around the countryside on my bog standard bianchi via nirone 7 for a year or so i realised that braking was not what it had been (or indeed, should be).
asking around friends and the local tri club guys led to me trying these flash pros.
asking around friends and the local tri club guys led to me trying these flash pros.
what a revalation! controlled progresive braking at all times and in all weathers. i really wish i'd bought them beforehand, they are SO much better than the stock kit fitted to the bike.
the bike now stops (almost) as well as my mountain bike with HOPE hydraulic brakes and discs....a huge improvement.
they are a little expensive, but the performance outweighs the cost."

Excellent Replacement Pads
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit, safe
Cons: Expensive, Limited Color Choices
"I do not normally write reviews for products unless I feel they are either to be avoided or recommended.
These were bought after my standard pads wore out and the first test was the Tour of Flanders. They are significantly better at stopping you than my old standard brake pads and fitted a standard shimano brake pad case perfectly.
They give you super feedback and more confidence to brake later in the corner. You can feel the extra power they have compared to standard OEM pads.
They are not getting full marks because they are very expensive for 4 pieces of rubber that must have cost pence to produce but they,along with tyres, are a tangible upgrade to your bike for performance and safety."
