SRAM Gravel Bike Brake Pads

Choose Gorilla Brakes pads for gravel riding with SRAM brakes. Choose by the caliper first, then compare compounds for dry tracks, muddy rides and loaded trips. Check the listed SRAM model and product compatibility; a shared brake brand does not make pad shapes interchangeable.

SRAM Gravel Bike Brake Pads FAQs

A little help with fitment, compounds and getting ready to ride.

How do I select the correct pad for SRAM?

Match the caliper family and generation. Small, asymmetric, medium, large and Maven shapes are separate fitments. Check the selected product’s exact compatibility before ordering.

Which of the available compounds should I compare?

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. Factory Racing STEALTH pairs a steel backing plate with a quieter braking character for trail, road and gravel.

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 or Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic 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.
