Upgrade Your SRAM 4 Piston Brakes: Real World Benefits of Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro Ultimate Pads

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, a more defined pad response 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

Our reported test results recorded deceleration of 7.69 m/s² in the dry and 7.19 m/s² in the wet. Those results describe the tested setup and conditions; they do not establish the same outcome with every brake, rotor or competing pad.

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 with REACH compliant materials. Chemical compliance does not mean that every material or wear particle is harmless.
• Packaged without plastic
• 100% recyclable through Gorilla Brakes’ Brake Pad Recycling Program

Reading the results: Values in m/s² measure deceleration, not force. These results and rider reports describe the tested setup; they do not establish identical performance in every listed caliper. Motive is an XC and trail brake. A compound change does not alter the system’s intended use or repair a soft hydraulic lever. REACH compliance concerns chemical requirements and is not a claim that all material or wear particles are harmless.
