Shimano Compatible Semi-Metallic 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 Semi-Metallic?

Semi-Metallic is a versatile everyday option for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails on conventional bicycles.

Is Semi-Metallic the same option as Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic?

No. The everyday Semi-Metallic option belongs to the Performance range for conventional bicycles. Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic is a separate e-bike-rated Enduro Pro choice, recommended for heavier loads and long descents. Check the full product name and exact caliper 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.
