Frequently Asked Questions

Which Hope road calipers are these pads compatible with?
These pads fit all Hope RX-series road calipers, including the RX4, RX4+ (Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo lever variants) and the RX2 flat-mount road caliper. If your brake system uses any RX-series caliper, these pads are compatible.
What compound is best for Hope road brakes?
For maximum power and heat resistance, choose Enduro Pro Ultimate or Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic. For quiet, smooth braking, choose Factory Racing Stealth. For winter and wet-weather durability, Sintered (Metallic) is the best choice.
Do Hope road disc brakes require a bedding-in process?
Yes. Proper bedding-in ensures the pads and rotor mate correctly. Perform 10–15 controlled stops from moderate speed without fully locking the wheel. This improves power and reduces noise.
How do I know when my Hope RX pads need replacing?
Replace the pads if the friction material reaches around 1mm, if braking becomes noisy, or if stopping power noticeably decreases. Long descents and wet weather will shorten pad life.
Why choose Gorilla Brakes pads for Hope road calipers?
Our pads are engineered specifically to match the precise, high-modulation feel of Hope’s RX-series road brakes. They offer stronger bite, improved heat control, quieter performance and longer life than many stock pads — tested across real-world road conditions.
