About TRP Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

Gorilla Brakes TRP-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.

🛠️ 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

Compound Material Dry Perf. Wet Perf. Heat Resistance Durability Recommended Use
Semi-Metallic ⚫ Organic-Metallic Blend (Black Back Plate) ★★★★☆ ★★★☆☆ ★★★☆☆ ★★★★☆ MTB, Road, Gravel, Commuting, Mixed Conditions

📦 Popular TRP Brake Models Using Semi-Metallic Pads

  • TRP MTB: DH-R EVO, Trail EVO, Slate EVO, Quadiem, Slate T4, Slate T2
  • TRP Road & Gravel: Spyre, Spyre SLC, HY/RD, Hylex, Hylex RS

⚠️ 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 TRP semi-metallic brake pads?
TRP semi-metallic brake pads use a blended organic and metallic friction compound bonded to a black back plate. They are designed to provide a balance of braking power, smooth modulation, and durability across a wide range of riding conditions.
What riding styles are TRP semi-metallic brake pads best for?
TRP semi-metallic brake pads are best suited to trail riding, XC, general MTB use, road and gravel riding, commuting, and mixed conditions where predictable braking and control are more important than maximum heat resistance.
Are TRP 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 long steep descents, sintered or Enduro Pro compounds are recommended.
How do TRP semi-metallic pads compare to TRP sintered pads?
Semi-metallic pads are quieter, more rotor-friendly, and offer smoother modulation than sintered pads, but they do not handle extreme heat or prolonged heavy braking as effectively.
Do TRP semi-metallic brake pads perform well in wet conditions?
They perform reliably in mixed and damp conditions. In consistently wet, muddy, or abrasive environments, sintered pads will provide better durability and braking consistency.
Are TRP semi-metallic brake pads noisy?
No. Semi-metallic pads are generally quieter than sintered pads, particularly at low speeds and in dry conditions.
Do TRP 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 TRP 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 TRP brake systems are compatible with semi-metallic pads?
TRP semi-metallic brake pads are available for major TRP systems including DH-R EVO, Trail EVO, Slate EVO, Quadiem, Slate T4, Slate T2, and TRP road and gravel disc brake systems such as Spyre, HY/RD, and Hylex.
