Sinter Model 027 Campagnolo

Campagnolo redesigned its disc brake caliper for the 2019 model year, and the new pad pocket; distinct from the pre-2019 Campa Disc pocket; is what the Sinter Model 027 fits. Campagnolo customers running 2020-onward Super Record, Record, or Chorus disc groupsets need this pad; the older Campagnolo Disc (pre-2019) takes the Model 009 instead.

What's in the kit

One caliper's worth of pads (2 pads, left and right) for the post-2019 Campagnolo Disc pocket. The kit ships with the spring and bedding-in instructions. Order two kits if you're replacing front and rear pads on the same service.

Fits

Campagnolo Disc post-2019 pad shape:

• Campagnolo Super Record Disc (2020-onward)
• Campagnolo Record Disc (2020-onward)
• Campagnolo Chorus Disc (2020-onward)
• Campagnolo Ekar Disc (gravel groupset, all years)

The 2019 caliper redesign moved Campagnolo from the shared Magura-pattern pocket to a Campagnolo-specific geometry; pads from the older era (pre-2019) do not fit the new caliper.

Compound and feel

Campagnolo's road and gravel disc brakes are engineered around the lever-and-shifter system the brand is known for: precise, linear, with feedback through the lever stroke that distinguishes Campa from SRAM and Shimano hydraulic. Sinter's organic ceramic-loaded compound is the pad that preserves that feel. The resin matrix bites cleanly off Campagnolo's lever, modulates predictably across the lever travel, and stays quiet on the rotor. Road riders running modern Campagnolo Disc, and gravel riders on Ekar, will notice the pad-and-caliper-and-lever pairing feels coherent in the way the original Campagnolo design intended.

Made in Ljubljana, distributed by Euro Toolworks

Sinter has been making friction materials in Ljubljana since 1969, and developed the first disc brake pads in the former Yugoslavia in 1972. Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. Both Slovenian brands distribute through Euro Toolworks in North America. Campagnolo riders are a small share of the US road market but a loyal one; the Model 027 is the Sinter catalog's commitment to keeping the post-2019 Campagnolo Disc properly stocked at the bench.

Pro tip from our mechanics

Campagnolo Disc rotors reach the 1.5 mm minimum service limit at a similar pace to the Shimano and SRAM rotors specced into the same wheel sizes, but a pad swap is the right moment to confirm rotor thickness with a rotor wear indicator regardless of brand. A worn rotor against fresh Sinter pads will wear the new pads faster than expected.
