Share
Peak Stopping Power Meets Precision Control
As the demands of modern enduro and trail riding evolve, so must your braking system. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro Compounds are now fully compatible with the new Shimano XTR 9220 4-piston brake calipers — Shimano’s latest elite-level braking system built for aggressive mountain biking.
Whether you're dropping into alpine descents, ripping through technical singletrack, or grinding E-MTB laps at the bike park, the Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro Compound delivers unmatched performance, quiet modulation, and fade-free confidence every time you pull the lever.
🏆 Why Choose Gorilla Brakes for Your XTR 9220 Setup?
Shimano’s XTR M9220 is already one of the most advanced braking platforms in the MTB world — but even the best brakes are only as good as the pads inside them.
That’s where we come in. Our Enduro Pro Compound lineup offers three finely-tuned options to suit your riding style and terrain:
🔥 Enduro Pro Ultimate Compound
- Maximum braking power and heat resistance
- Ideal for high-speed descents and aggressive riding
- Exceptional modulation and fade-free performance
⚙️ Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic Compound
- Balanced performance and durability
- Excellent heat dissipation and long pad life
- Perfect for trail and enduro riders in all conditions
🌿 Enduro Pro Resin Compound

- Great for dry conditions, commuting, or casual trail use
- Soft compound for reduced noise and vibration
🔧 Compatible with Shimano D-Type, H-Type, and N-Type Pads
All Gorilla Brakes Enduro Pro pads are compatible with Shimano 4-piston brake systems using D-Type, H-Type, and N-Type pad shapes. That includes:
- Shimano XTR: BR-M9220, BR-M9120
- Deore XT, SLX, Deore 4-Piston
- Saint, Zee, MT520, MT420
- Metrea and other urban 4-piston setups
🌍 Copper-Free and Built for Sustainability
We don’t just build fast brake pads — we build responsible ones. All Gorilla Brakes compounds are copper-free, helping reduce contamination of our waterways and protecting aquatic life.
