About Ceramic Nano-Tech Brake Pads
Gorilla Brakes Ceramic Nano-Tech brake pads are manufactured using a soft
organic compound blended with ceramic particles. This combination
delivers smooth, predictable braking with excellent cold bite and very low noise.
Ceramic Nano-Tech pads are designed for riders who prioritise comfort, modulation,
and quiet performance over outright braking force. They are best suited to light trail
riding, road and gravel use, commuting, and light e-MTB systems where
braking loads remain moderate.
🛠️ Key Performance Benefits
- Smooth, progressive braking with refined modulation
- Strong cold bite with minimal warm-up
- Very quiet operation in dry and mixed conditions
- Low rotor wear and comfortable lever feel
