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
