Awesome service, and great brake pads.
Works super well
Hi Oscar, we're glad to hear the brakes are working well for you! Thanks for your support.
Tektro brakes are among the most widely used braking systems on factory-built electric bikes thanks to their dependable performance and strong value. From HD-E350 commuter brakes to powerful 4-piston Dorado and Orion calipers, Tektro systems must handle the additional heat, torque and weight of modern e-bikes. Gorilla Brakes E-Bike compounds are engineered specifically to meet these high-load demands.
Our pads fit all major Tektro e-bike brake systems, including:
Tektro uses several pad shapes depending on caliper model:
The Enduro Pro and Factory Racing ranges are engineered specifically for the heavier loads and increased braking temperatures of Tektro E-bike systems.
