SHIMANO Compatible Enduro Ceramic Brake Pads

Explore Gorilla Brakes Enduro Ceramic pads for Shimano. Use the full BR code on the caliper: a groupset name or piston count alone does not identify the pad shape.

Check fitment and compatible models

Two pad families are available: K / L-Type and G / J-Type. Four-piston D / H / N-Type and B-Type pads are not offered in this Enduro Ceramic collection.

Pad familyCompatible models and selection
Shimano K / L-TypeFor the listed GRX, 105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace and Tiagra calipers, plus the specified XTR and flat-mount models. Match the full BR- code in the product table; the groupset name alone is not enough. View product or model details →
Shimano G / J-TypeFor the listed two-piston Deore / SLX / XT / XTR calipers and specified Alfine, CUES, road and cyclocross models. BR-RS785 belongs to this group; newer XTR and flat-mount versions can use a different shape. View product or model details →

SHIMANO Compatible Enduro Ceramic Brake Pads 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.

When should I consider Enduro Ceramic?

Enduro Ceramic is the Performance ceramic option for warmer, dry rides on conventional bicycles.

How do Ceramic and Enduro Ceramic differ in the riding guide?

Ceramic is an everyday Performance option for XC, road and gravel. Enduro Ceramic is the Performance option highlighted for warmer, dry rides. Both recommendations are for conventional bicycles; they are separate from the e-bike-rated Enduro Pro range.

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.
