SRAM Brake Pads Built for E-Bike Power & Control

SRAM brakes are widely used across e-MTB, hybrid and performance e-bikes thanks to their strong modulation and consistent feel. High-power models like Code, Guide RE and Maven generate significant heat and braking load when used on electric bikes — making upgraded compounds essential for control, longevity and fade resistance. Gorilla Brakes E-Bike compounds are designed to handle these extreme conditions.

Compatible SRAM E-Bike Brake Models

Our brake pads fit all major SRAM e-bike braking systems, including:

  • SRAM Code: R, RS, RSC (most common on high-performance e-MTBs)
  • SRAM Guide RE: OEM e-MTB brake used on thousands of Bosch/Yamaha-equipped bikes
  • SRAM DB8 / DB6 / DB4: Mineral-oil 4-piston systems designed for e-bikes
  • SRAM Maven: Maximum-power 4-piston brake for downhill & E-MTB
  • SRAM Motive: Latest performance brake for trail & e-MTB
  • SRAM Guide: R / RS / RSC (used on mid-tier e-bikes)
  • SRAM Level: TLM / TL / ULT (hybrid, fitness & light e-bikes)

Which SRAM Pad Type Do I Need?

SRAM brakes use several key pad shapes depending on the caliper:

  • Code Pads: Fits Code R, RS, RSC & DB8, DB6, DB4, Guide RE. SRAM LARGE
  • Maven Pads: Unique high-power pad design (Maven only) SRAM X-Large
  • Guide / Trail Pads: Same pad shape across the family SRAM Medium
  • Level Pads: Smaller 2-piston endurance/road pad SRAM Small
