These are the Yokozuna Brake Pad Inserts featuring Scott-Mathauser Generation-X Compounds. These brake shoes have set the standard in braking performance for decades. The Salmon Pads are more of an all-weather pad, and provide excellent performance compared to other all-weather pads which tend to be very abrasive. The Black Pads simply have a little less stopping power but a little more life and modulation in them. Simply put, the Black Pads are a bit more casual for situations that are not as demanding as those that would require the Salmon Pads.

These brake pads have been my secret weapon when riding alloy clincher wheels all winter and spring. The stopping power is much better than your standard shimano pads and durability is great.
