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.

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.
