About Formula Sintered Brake Pads

Gorilla Brakes Formula-compatible sintered brake pads are engineered for aggressive riding and high braking loads. Manufactured using a hardened metallic friction compound bonded to a gold back plate, these pads deliver powerful, consistent braking performance in wet, muddy, and high-heat environments.

Sintered brake pads are ideal for enduro racing, downhill riding, bike-park use, and full-power e-MTB systems where durability, heat resistance, and fade control are critical.

🛠️ Key Performance Benefits

  • Maximum stopping power in wet and muddy conditions
  • Excellent heat resistance and fade control
  • Long service life under heavy braking loads
  • Reliable performance for MTB, downhill, and e-MTB riding

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Formula sintered brake pads?
Formula sintered brake pads use a hardened metallic friction compound bonded to a gold back plate. They are designed to provide maximum braking power, durability, and consistent performance under high heat and heavy braking loads.
What riding styles are Formula sintered brake pads best for?
Formula sintered brake pads are best suited to MTB, enduro, downhill, bike-park riding, and full-power e-MTBs where braking demands are high and conditions can be wet or muddy.
Are Formula sintered brake pads suitable for e-MTBs?
Yes. Formula sintered brake pads are recommended for full-power and high-torque e-MTBs due to their excellent heat resistance and long pad life under sustained braking.
Do Formula sintered brake pads perform well in wet and muddy conditions?
Yes. Sintered pads maintain strong, consistent braking performance in wet, muddy, and gritty conditions where softer compounds may wear quickly or lose effectiveness.
Are Formula sintered brake pads noisier than other compounds?
They can be. Sintered pads may generate more noise than organic or ceramic compounds, especially in wet conditions. This is a normal trade-off for increased durability and wet-weather performance.
Do Formula sintered brake pads cause increased rotor wear?
Sintered pads can increase rotor wear compared to softer compounds. Using sintered-compatible rotors and bedding the pads in correctly helps reduce rotor wear.
Do Formula sintered brake pads require bedding-in?
Yes. Proper bedding-in is essential to achieve optimal braking power, consistent feel, and maximum pad life.
Which Formula brake systems are compatible with sintered pads?
Formula sintered brake pads are available for major Formula systems including Cura (all variants), Cura 2-Piston, Cura 4, Cura 4 Racing, R1, C1, The One, RO, RX, and Cura Road.
