✅ Compatibility tip
Use the filters below to quickly find the correct brake pads by
Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Organic brake pads are built using an
ultra-soft, high-friction organic compound bonded to a silver back plate,
engineered to deliver maximum bite, ultra-quiet braking, and instant performance.
This compound is race-focused and prioritises feel and control over pad longevity.
Factory Racing Organic pads deliver full braking performance immediately from first use.
No bedding-in process is required, making them ideal for race-day installs,
last-minute bike prep, and riders who want confidence from the very first lever pull.
Important – Dry Conditions Only:
Factory Racing Organic brake pads are optimised for dry weather riding.
Due to the ultra-soft compound, pad wear will be extremely fast in wet,
muddy, gritty, or abrasive conditions.
e-MTB, Enduro & Downhill Use:
These pads can be used on e-MTB, enduro, and downhill braking systems.
However, due to the soft racing compound, wear rate will be significantly
faster than other compounds in the Factory Racing range.

Do Factory Racing Organic pads require bedding-in?
No. Factory Racing Organic brake pads deliver full braking performance immediately and do not require a bedding-in process.
What conditions are Factory Racing Organic brake pads best for?
They are optimised for dry weather riding. In wet, muddy, gritty, or abrasive conditions, pad wear will be extremely fast.
Are Factory Racing Organic brake pads quiet?
Yes. This is the quietest compound in the Gorilla Brakes range, designed specifically to minimise brake noise.

Yes. They are mechanically compatible with enduro and downhill braking systems. However, pad life will be much shorter than harder compounds, especially under heavy braking.
How do Factory Racing Organic pads compare to other Factory Racing compounds?
Factory Racing Organic pads offer the highest initial bite and quietest performance but have the shortest lifespan. Other Factory Racing compounds provide better durability and heat resistance at the expense of noise and instant bite.
Are Factory Racing Organic brake pads suitable for wet or winter riding?
No. They are not recommended for wet, muddy, or winter conditions due to extremely rapid wear.

No. Due to the soft organic compound, rotor wear is minimal compared to metallic or sintered pads.

They are suitable for MTB, road, and gravel bikes in dry conditions, and can be used for XC racing, road racing, dry gravel racing, enduro, downhill, and e-MTB riding where quiet braking and instant bite are prioritised over pad longevity.
