Frequently Asked Questions

Which Tektro road brake calipers are these pads compatible with?
These pads fit Tektro’s road-specific disc brakes, including HD-R510, HD-R310, HD-R290, HD-R280, Lyra and Aquila Road. If your bike uses a Tektro road disc caliper, these pads are compatible.
Which compound is best for Tektro road riding?
For maximum stopping power, choose Enduro Pro Ultimate. For balanced all-weather braking, choose Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic. For quiet performance, choose Factory Racing Stealth. For durability in wet conditions, choose Sintered (Metallic).
Do Tektro road disc brakes require bedding in?
Yes. To achieve full braking power and minimise noise, perform 10–15 controlled stops from moderate speed, increasing braking force gradually. Avoid sudden wheel lock-ups while bedding in.
When should I replace my Tektro brake pads?
Pads should be replaced when friction material reaches around 1mm, when power drops noticeably, or when noise increases. Wet-weather riding and frequent braking shorten pad life.
What makes Gorilla Brakes pads better for Tektro road systems?
Gorilla Brakes compounds are engineered for stronger bite, better heat control and quieter performance than many stock pads. Each compound is tested on Tektro road systems to ensure consistent, reliable braking in real road conditions.
