About Sintered Brake Pads
Gorilla Brakes sintered brake pads are built for riders who demand maximum stopping power and long-lasting durability in the toughest riding conditions. Manufactured using hardened metallic particles, sintered pads perform consistently in wet, muddy, and gritty environments where other compounds can struggle.
Thanks to their high heat tolerance, sintered pads deliver reliable, fade-resistant braking on long descents and under repeated heavy braking. This makes them a dependable choice for MTB, enduro, e-bike, gravel, and all-weather road riding.
