About Shimano Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

Gorilla Brakes Shimano-compatible semi-metallic brake pads are designed for riders who want reliable braking performance across a wide range of riding conditions. Using a blended organic and metallic friction compound bonded to a black back plate, these pads deliver strong braking power with smooth modulation and reduced noise.

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.

🛠️ Key Performance Benefits

  • Balanced braking power with smooth modulation
  • Improved durability compared to organic compounds
  • Quieter operation than sintered pads
  • Good performance in dry and mixed conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Shimano semi-metallic brake pads?
Shimano semi-metallic brake pads use a blended organic and metallic friction compound bonded to a black back plate. They are designed to provide a balanced mix of braking power, control, and durability across a wide range of riding conditions.
What riding styles are Shimano semi-metallic brake pads best for?
Shimano semi-metallic brake pads are best suited to trail riding, XC, general MTB use, commuting, road and gravel riding, and light e-MTB applications where consistent braking and modulation are more important than maximum heat resistance.
Are Shimano semi-metallic brake pads suitable for e-MTBs?
They are suitable for light and moderate e-MTB use. For full-power e-MTBs, heavier riders, or prolonged steep descents, sintered or Enduro Pro compounds are recommended.
How do semi-metallic pads compare to sintered pads?
Semi-metallic pads are quieter, more rotor-friendly, and offer smoother modulation than sintered pads, but they do not handle extreme heat as well. Sintered pads are better for aggressive riding and harsh conditions.
Do Shimano semi-metallic brake pads perform well in wet conditions?
They perform reliably in mixed and damp conditions, but in consistently wet, muddy, or gritty environments, sintered pads will offer better longevity and braking consistency.
Are Shimano semi-metallic brake pads noisy?
No. Semi-metallic pads are generally quieter than sintered pads, especially at low speeds and in dry conditions.
Do Shimano semi-metallic brake pads wear rotors quickly?
No. Semi-metallic pads are more rotor-friendly than sintered pads and typically result in lower rotor wear.
Do Shimano semi-metallic brake pads require bedding-in?
Yes. Proper bedding-in is essential to achieve optimal braking performance, consistent feel, and maximum pad life.
Which Shimano brake systems are compatible with semi-metallic pads?
Shimano semi-metallic brake pads are available for all major Shimano systems, including XTR, XT, SLX, Deore, Saint, ZEE, CUES, and Shimano road and gravel disc brake systems such as Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, Tiagra, and GRX.
