Factory Racing Stealth (Purple) for Shimano disc brakes delivers smooth, predictable braking with a strong focus on modulation, control, and noise reduction. Built on our Stealth friction material and a steel backing plate, it’s designed as a confident all-round compound for Shimano systems across MTB, e-MTB, road, and gravel.

In simple terms: if you want quiet performance and consistent lever feel across mixed riding—without the harsher feel of harder race compounds—Factory Racing Stealth is the go-to choice.

🟪 Factory Racing Stealth – Compound Information

Friction compound Stealth compound
Backing plate Steel
Braking character Smooth bite, controlled modulation, predictable lever feel
Noise behaviour Very quiet when correctly bedded in with clean, true rotors
Heat performance Stable on sustained braking, without the “hard” feel of more aggressive race compounds
Best for Shimano MTB, e-MTB, road & gravel riding where control, modulation, and quiet braking are prioritised
Fitment notes (important):
  • Match the exact Shimano caliper model — Shimano families often use different pad shapes for 2-piston vs 4-piston versions.
  • If you’re unsure, message us a photo of your current pad + caliper and we’ll confirm the correct fit.
  • For best results, install on clean, true rotors and follow a proper bedding-in process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Stealth pads compare to other compounds?
Stealth pads sit between Factory Racing Organic (soft) and Factory Racing (green, hard). They’re quieter than the green compound, with smoother control, but last longer than the organic pads.
Are Stealth pads suitable for Shimano eBikes and heavier riders?
Yes. The Stealth compound is eBike-ready and works perfectly with Shimano STEPS and Shimano 4-piston calipers. It’s designed to handle the extra braking forces of eMTBs and loaded bikes.
How long do Shimano Stealth pads last?
Pad life depends on riding style, terrain, and conditions, but Stealth pads are engineered for balanced wear. They generally last longer than organic pads while offering quieter performance than hard compounds.
Do Stealth pads cause rotor wear on Shimano disc brakes?
No. Stealth pads are rotor-friendly with a steel backing plate and carefully blended compound, meaning less wear on your Shimano rotors compared to metallic pads.
Can I recycle my worn Shimano Stealth pads?
Yes. Gorilla Brakes runs a dedicated Brake Pad Recycling Program. You can return your used Shimano Stealth pads, and we’ll recycle them responsibly to reduce waste.
