Key Features of Our Quiet Brake Pads

1. Advanced Noise Reduction (ANR) Compound

The core of our quiet disc brake pads is the ANR compound. This technology tackles one of the most common braking complaints, noise. While there’s a minor trade off in ultimate braking power and wear life, the reduction in noise is worth it for riders seeking the quietest braking possible.

2. High Fiber Content for Vibration Absorption

Our pads contain a high percentage of advanced fibres that absorb vibration before it becomes audible noise. This significantly reduces squeal, especially in wet and muddy conditions.

3. Ceramic and Multiple Friction Materials

Our ceramic, Kevlar and other friction materials are selected to help damp vibration. Noise depends on the complete brake system and conditions; the compound cannot guarantee that all vibration stays outside human hearing.

4. Balanced Longevity and Quietness

Traditionally, harder compounds last longer but are noisier, while softer compounds are quiet but wear faster. Our new ANR compound strikes the perfect balance, making it ideal for road, enduro, and gravel riders.

Compatibility

These quiet disc brake pads are available for all major disc brake systems, including Shimano, SRAM, Hope, Magura, Formula, Hayes, TRP, and Tektro. Whatever your bike, you can benefit from ANR technology.

FAQs, Quiet Disc Brake Pads

What are the quietest disc brake pads?

Our Advanced Noise Reduction pads are designed to be among the quietest available, using a unique ceramic and fibre blend to absorb vibrations.

Do ceramic pads squeal less?

Yes, ceramic pads tend to be quieter than sintered pads, especially in dry conditions. Our ceramic disc brake pads are a great option for silent performance.

How do I stop my bike brakes from squealing?

First diagnose contamination, wear, alignment and loose or damaged parts. Replace oil contaminated pads and service the brake as its manufacturer specifies. A different compound may help noise only after underlying faults are addressed.

Will quiet brake pads last as long?

ANR pads aim to balance lower noise and useful pad life. Neither silence nor a fixed lifespan can be guaranteed in every setup.

Conclusion

With Gorilla Brakes’ new quiet disc brake pads, cyclists can enjoy reduced brake noise without sacrificing performance. From organic compounds to our new titanium back plate designs, every element is engineered for a smoother, quieter ride. Explore our full range above and upgrade your stopping power today.
