Factory Racing Brake Pads | Gorilla Brakes

Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing brake pads are a hard, high-performance compound engineered for modern disc brake systems across all major brands. Designed to deliver consistent braking, controlled modulation, and extended pad life under high loads and repeated braking.

This compound is built for high-intensity riding including downhill, enduro, e-bike use, and demanding road and gravel riding where heat management and reliability are critical.

Scroll down to select the correct pad shape and brake model option to match your brake system and riding demands.

Quick tip: Use the filters below to select your brake brand, model, and piston count to ensure the correct pad fit for your caliper.

Factory Racing (Green) is our hard, high-load pad compound designed for riders who generate higher brake temperatures and need stable, repeatable performance through long descents and repeated heavy stops. It’s tuned for consistent lever feel and longer service life in high-intensity use.

In simple terms: Factory Racing (Green) is best when softer pads overheat, fade, or wear too quickly during high-load riding such as e-bikes, downhill and enduro riding, long road descents, or demanding gravel use.
