Upgrade Your SRAM 4-Piston Brakes: Real-World Benefits of Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro Ultimate Pads
Share
If you ride with SRAM Code, DB8, G2 RE, Guide RE, or the new Motive calipers, your brakes are already powerful. But with heavier eMTBs, longer descents, and more technical terrain, stock pads often aren’t enough. That’s where Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro Ultimate pads come in — a premium upgrade designed to give you more control, more power, and less noise in all conditions.
Why Do Serious Riders Upgrade Their Brake Pads?
SRAM’s 4-piston systems are built for power — but brake pads are where the real stopping performance happens. Upgrading to a compound like Enduro Pro Ultimate delivers a noticeable difference:
- Better bite and modulation — more control on technical descents
- Quieter braking — especially in wet, gritty conditions
- Less fade — no more mushy levers halfway down a long run
- Longer lifespan — less pad wear and reduced rotor damage
What Makes the Enduro Pro Ultimate Compound Different?
This isn’t just another semi-metallic pad. Gorilla Brakes developed the Enduro Pro Ultimate formula. which helps manage heat, maintain pad shape under load, and reduce vibration at the rotor interface. This makes it ideal for:
- eMTBs with added weight and torque
- Enduro bikes on long alpine descents
- Downhill rigs in lift-assisted bike parks
- Cargo Bikes.
SRAM Brakes These Pads Fit:
Whether you’re running mineral oil or DOT fluid, these pads cover SRAM’s most powerful 4-piston platforms:
- Code RSC, Code Bronze, Code Silver
- DB8 / DB6 / DB4 (mineral oil)
- Guide RE / G2 RE
- Motive (SRAM’s newest eMTB platform)
How These Pads Perform on the Trail
Trail testing and lab results both show strong gains over stock pads. Dry braking force comes in at 7.69 m/s², while wet performance is an impressive 7.19 m/s² — outperforming many sintered pads without the same noise or rotor wear.
Why Riders Are Switching
- "No more fade halfway down the trail"
- "I can brake later into corners"
- "Much quieter in the wet"
This isn’t just a small upgrade — it’s a huge confidence boost.
Eco-Friendly and Rider Safe
- Made using REACH-compliant, non-toxic materials
- Packaged without plastic
