About Magura Semi-Metallic Brake Pads
Gorilla Brakes Magura-compatible semi-metallic brake pads are designed for riders who
want consistent braking performance with smooth modulation and reduced noise.
Using a blended organic and metallic friction compound bonded to a black back plate,
these pads deliver reliable braking across a wide range of riding conditions.
Semi-metallic pads sit between organic and sintered compounds, offering improved
durability and heat resistance over organic pads while remaining quieter and more
rotor-friendly than full sintered options. This makes them ideal for mixed-use riding
across MTB, road, and gravel disciplines.
