Choose your compound

Sintered is a good choice for cold, wet and muddy riding. It generates substantial heat, which can transfer to the caliper faster than with other compounds in our range. For high-heat applications, we recommend Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds. Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

Choose only the compounds offered for this exact fitment. These Performance options are for conventional bicycles. If you need an e-bike or heavy-load recommendation for this caliper, contact us with the model before ordering.

Brake Pads For Formula ORO – K18 / K24 / Puro / Bianco FAQs

A little help with fitment, compounds and getting ready to ride.

Are these pads compatible with Cura or RX series brakes?

No. The ORO calipers use a different pad shape than Formula Cura, Cura 4, or RX models. Only use these pads in ORO series calipers.

Which of the available compounds should I compare?

Sintered is a good choice for cold, wet and muddy riding. It generates substantial heat, which can transfer to the caliper faster than with other compounds in our range. For high-heat applications, we recommend Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds. Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

How should I prepare the rotor and bed in new pads?

Check the rotor’s condition, wear limit and permitted pad material. Follow the installation instructions for your caliper and our bedding-in guide, including rotor preparation when changing compounds.

What if I cannot identify the exact caliper or pad?

Send Gorilla Brakes a clear photo of the caliper markings and both sides of the old pad, with its dimensions if possible. We can help establish the pad shape before you choose a compound.
