About SRAM Sintered Brake Pads
Gorilla Brakes SRAM-compatible sintered brake pads are engineered for aggressive riding and high braking loads. Manufactured using a hardened metallic friction compound bonded to a gold back plate, these pads deliver powerful, consistent braking performance in wet, muddy, and high-heat environments.
Sintered brake pads are designed to maintain braking performance under sustained heavy use, making them ideal for enduro racing, downhill riding, bike-park use, and full-power e-MTB systems where heat resistance and pad life are critical.
🛠️ Key Performance Benefits
- Maximum stopping power in wet and muddy conditions
- Excellent heat resistance and fade control
- Long service life under aggressive braking loads
- Reliable performance for MTB, downhill, and e-MTB use
