The brake pads are not standard, but the higher-end Elite pads. The current Ksyrium pads aren't very good, so I think these discontinued ones are better. The navy color is also elegant and deep, and the texture is quite good. I haven't worn them much, but the manufacturer's logo on the inside looks like the sticker might come off. I peeled off the product labels because there were a lot of them. They are not new, but there is no fading, and I think they can be called beautiful items.
