Introducing the Enduro Pro Ultimate: Now with Aluminium Backplates
Share
At Gorilla Brakes, we don’t follow trends, we set them. After the global success of our flagship Enduro Pro Ultimate compound, we’re excited to unveil the next evolution in high performance braking:
The Enduro Pro Ultimate, Aluminium Backplate Edition
This all new pad keeps the same race proven compound, now mounted to a precision aluminium backplate for better heat control, reduced weight, and standout looks. Built for elite riders and obsessive bike geeks alike, it’s designed to squeeze every drop of performance from your setup.
Why Aluminium?
- Better heat dissipation: Aluminium pulls heat away from the braking surface faster than steel, ideal for enduro, alpine descents, and bike park laps.
- Lower pad weight: Aluminium backplates can reduce pad mass compared with the equivalent steel design. Pads remain in the caliper and are not rotating wheel mass. Compare measured weights for the exact products.
And yes, they look fast standing still.
Development in Progress, Samples Coming Soon
We’re still fine tuning final specs and aim to start sending out rider samples by the end of June.
For updates and sneak peeks, follow our Gorilla Brakes Strava Club.
Available Soon for These Brake Systems:
🔧 SRAM MTB & E MTB
- SRAM Code
- SRAM Motive
- SRAM DB8
- SRAM “LARGE” Disc Brakes
🔧 SRAM Road & Gravel
- SRAM Rival and selected Level models in the SMALL family. Check the exact caliper generation; DB8 uses LARGE and is not a road SMALL fitment.

🔧 Shimano Road & Gravel
Titanium Backplates, Blazing a Trail
While we’re talking innovation, our Titanium Backplate Brake Pads have been flying off the shelves, especially since being featured in Cyclist Magazine’s guide to the best disc brake pads.
These ultra light, race focused pads are a rider favourite for their stiffness, weight savings, and raw performance. If you haven’t tried them yet, what are you waiting for?
Next Level Braking. Coming Soon.
Whether it’s titanium, aluminium, or our legendary Enduro Pro compound, we build products to help you ride harder, brake smarter, and stay at the front of the pack.
Keep your eyes on our Strava and socials, we’re just getting started.
Go Gorilla.
