Choosing Factory Racing Organic

Factory Racing Organic puts braking feel first for dry XC, road and gravel riding, with a quieter, responsive bite. This compound can wear very quickly in wet and muddy conditions.

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.

SHIMANO Compatible Organic Disc 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 Factory Racing Organic?

Factory Racing Organic puts braking feel first for dry XC, road and gravel riding, with a quieter, responsive bite. This compound can wear very quickly in wet and muddy conditions.

Can a compound guarantee silent braking?

No. A quieter braking character is a reason to compare compounds, but rotor condition, contamination, alignment and bedding in also affect noise. Choose the right fitment and follow the setup guidance.

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.
