SHIMANO Factory Racing 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?

Factory Racing Green offers a balanced braking feel, with strong dry and wet braking highlighted in the comparison guide.

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.
