Take a closer look at Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Stealth pads — designed for quiet braking, smooth modulation and dependable braking performance.
Compatible with selected Tektro heavy-duty 2-piston e-bike, cargo-bike, touring and commuter brake calipers requiring the extra-thick 5mm E11.11 or P21.11 pad format.
Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Stealth 5mm Pads combine our high-performance Factory Racing friction compound with an acoustic damping layer designed to reduce vibration and unwanted braking noise. Developed for the increased weight and braking demands of e-bikes, cargo bikes and utility cycles, they deliver powerful braking, progressive control and consistent performance under load.
These pads use the 5mm E11.11/P21.11-compatible pad profile. They are thicker than standard Tektro 2-piston pads, so the exact brake model and caliper position must be checked before ordering.

⚠️ Please note: On a Tektro HD-M530 brake system, these 5mm 2-piston pads fit the rear caliper only. The HD-M530 front caliper is a 4-piston design that requires the separate 5mm Q13RS-format brake pad.
Auriga Twin owners: This product contains enough pads for one caliper. A twin-caliper system normally requires two pairs for a complete pad replacement.
🔥 Compound Type: Factory Racing Stealth
The Factory Racing Stealth Compound is designed to provide strong, predictable braking while minimising noise and vibration. Its multi-layer construction combines a high-performance friction material with acoustic damping, making it particularly well suited to heavier e-bikes, cargo bikes, trikes and frequently used utility cycles.

Great brake pads. They wear quite fast but the braking power is excellent - that’s the trade off I guess.
Thanks for the feedback. SRAM Maven brakes do tend to wear through brake pads much faster than many other braking systems.
A full sintered compound can last longer, but Maven brakes can be very sensitive to harder metallic pads and may produce significant vibration resonance and that familiar loud squeal. As you said, our Factory Racing compound is a great compromise, offering excellent braking power, good modulation and much better noise control, although the trade-off is slightly faster wear.
Awesome stopping power, a noticeable improvement over standard.
Hi Mark, we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the improved stopping power! Thanks for sharing your experience with the Shimano MT Series pads. Ride safe!
