Shimano Mountainbike-Bremsbeläge

Gorilla Brakes Shimano Mountainbike-Bremsbeläge sind für modernes Trail-, Enduro-, Downhill- und eMTB-Fahren entwickelt.

Choosing the Right Compound for Shimano MTB

Shimano MTB brakes are known for their powerful bite and easy modulation, but long descents, heavy bikes and muddy conditions create a lot of heat and wear. Gorilla Brakes compounds are tuned to give you more control, better fade resistance and longer pad life – whether you’re riding local trail centres, bike parks or full alpine enduro stages.

Enduro Pro is our highest-performance option for aggressive riding and eMTB. Factory Racing compounds deliver quiet, high-power braking with race-focused feel, while our Standard compounds provide durable all-weather performance for everyday MTB use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Shimano MTB brakes are these pads compatible with?
This collection covers all major Shimano mountain bike hydraulic systems, including XTR (M9200/M9100), XT (M8200/M8100), SLX (M7100), Deore (M6100), Saint, Zee, and MT-Series OEM brakes (MT520, MT420, MT500, MT410, MT200). It also fits many older calipers that share the same pad shapes.
What compound is best for Shimano MTB riding?
Enduro Pro Ultimate – Maximum power for aggressive enduro, DH, eMTB and long alpine descents. • Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic – Best all-rounder for trail and enduro riders in mixed conditions. • Factory Racing Stealth – Quiet, smooth braking for trail riding and damp climates. • Standard Sintered – Best for winter mud, wet UK riding and long-lasting eMTB durability.
Do Shimano 2-piston and 4-piston brakes use different pads?
Yes. Shimano’s 2-piston XC/trail calipers (XTR/XT/SLX/Deore M9100/M8100/M7100/M6100) use narrow pad shapes, while 4-piston models (M9220/M8120/M7120/M6120, Saint, Zee) use a wider pad with larger surface area. This collection supports both types.
How long do Shimano MTB brake pads last?
It depends on terrain and riding style: • XC riders: 600–1,500 km • Trail/enduro riders: 300–800 km • eMTB, DH or wet UK riding: 100–400 km Steep descents, rotor size, rider weight and conditions all influence pad life.
Why upgrade from Shimano stock pads?
Factory pads can fade under heat, wear quickly in mud and lose bite on long descents. Gorilla Brakes compounds offer: • stronger initial bite • improved heat stability • quieter performance • longer lifespan—especially on enduro/DH and eMTB systems
