About SRAM Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

Gorilla Brakes SRAM-compatible semi-metallic brake pads are engineered 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 offer a reliable middle ground between organic and sintered compounds.

Semi-metallic pads provide improved durability and heat resistance compared to organic pads, while remaining quieter and more rotor-friendly than full sintered options. This makes them ideal for mixed riding conditions across MTB, road, and gravel disciplines.

🛠️ Key Performance Benefits

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

🧪 Compound Characteristics

📦 Popular SRAM Brake Models Using Semi-Metallic Pads

  • SRAM MTB: Maven, Motive, Code (RSC / R / Stealth), DB8, G2 (Ultimate / RSC / RS / R), Guide (RE / R / T), Level (Ultimate / TLM / TL / T), Elixir (CR / R / 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 9), XO Trail, XX, DB5
  • SRAM Road & Gravel: RED eTap AXS, Force eTap AXS, Rival eTap AXS, Apex AXS, Apex, Apex XPLR, XPLR AXS, HRD, HydroR

⚠️ Things to Note

  • Not as heat-resistant as sintered pads under prolonged heavy braking
  • Not recommended for downhill or full-power e-MTB use
  • Correct bedding-in improves braking performance and pad life

Frequently Asked Questions

What are SRAM semi-metallic brake pads?
SRAM semi-metallic brake pads use a blended organic and metallic friction compound bonded to a black back plate. They are designed to offer a balance of braking power, modulation, and durability across a wide range of riding conditions.
What riding styles are SRAM semi-metallic brake pads best for?
SRAM 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 smooth control and consistent braking are prioritised over maximum heat resistance.
Are SRAM 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 SRAM semi-metallic pads compare to SRAM sintered pads?
Semi-metallic pads are quieter, more rotor-friendly, and offer smoother modulation than sintered pads. However, they do not handle extreme heat or prolonged heavy braking as well as sintered compounds.
Do SRAM semi-metallic brake pads perform well in wet conditions?
They perform reliably in mixed and damp conditions. In consistently wet, muddy, or gritty environments, sintered pads will provide better durability and braking consistency.
Are SRAM semi-metallic brake pads noisy?
No. Semi-metallic pads are generally quieter than sintered pads, especially at low speeds and in dry conditions.
Do SRAM semi-metallic brake pads cause excessive rotor wear?
No. Semi-metallic pads are more rotor-friendly than sintered pads and typically result in lower rotor wear.
Do SRAM semi-metallic brake pads require bedding-in?
Yes. Proper bedding-in is required to achieve optimal braking performance, consistent feel, and maximum pad life.
Which SRAM brake systems are compatible with semi-metallic pads?
SRAM semi-metallic brake pads are available for major SRAM systems including Code, DB8, G2, Guide, Level, Maven, Motive, and SRAM road and gravel disc brake systems such as RED AXS, Force AXS, Rival AXS, Apex, and XPLR.
