Hi Paul,
Thank you for such a detailed review we really appreciate it.
That is exactly what the Enduro Pro orange compound is designed for: strong power, good modulation, long wear life and consistent performance on heavy braking setups like SRAM It is great to hear they held up so well through more than 10 days of Alpine uplift riding and transformed the feel of the Code brakes compared with the stock SRAM sintered pads.
You are also spot on about bedding-in. A proper clean of the discs and a thorough bed-in process makes a huge difference before the pads reach their full bite and power.
The Factory Racing green compound does usually give a little more initial bite and a softer feel, while the Enduro Pro orange is the better choice if you want longer wear life, heat resistance and consistent performance on long descents.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave such helpful feedback. We’ll be interested to hear how you get on with the Enduro Pro orange pads in the Hope V4s.
Kind regards,
Gorilla Brakes
