Shimano Disc Brake Pads – Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Stealth FAQs

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

How do I select the correct pad for Shimano?

Use the full BR code on the caliper: a groupset name or piston count alone does not identify the pad shape. Check the selected product’s exact compatibility before ordering.

How does Factory Racing Titanium differ from Stealth Purple?

They share the same tested compound profile and braking feel. Stealth Purple uses a steel backing plate; Titanium uses a lighter titanium backing plate. Choose the product in the correct pad shape, then decide whether the weight saving matters to you.

Which compounds are e-bike rated, and which do you recommend for heavy loads?

All Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds are e-bike rated. For heavy cargo, loaded touring and demanding descents, we recommend Enduro Pro Ultimate Orange or Enduro Pro Semi Metallic Blue in the correct fitment.

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.
