Rotor diameter and thickness must meet your brake manufacturer’s specifications. Check rotor condition and minimum permitted thickness before fitting new pads.

Your questions

About these brake pads

Fitment, materials and performance explained.

Is Ceramic the same compound as Enduro Ceramic?

No. This listing uses standard Ceramic, an everyday option from the Gorilla Brakes Performance range for XC, road, gravel and commuting. Enduro Ceramic is a separate compound aimed at warmer, dry rides.

How do I check that these pads fit my brakes?

Match the exact caliper model and existing pad shape to the compatibility table on this page. Do not rely on the brake lever name or series alone. Check the front and rear calipers separately, because some systems use different pad shapes at each end.

Which rotors can I use with this compound?

This compound is suitable for all bicycle disc brake rotor types, including rotors marked “resin pads only”. Rotor diameter and thickness must meet your brake manufacturer’s specifications. Check rotor condition and minimum permitted thickness before fitting new pads.

Do new brake pads need bedding in?

Yes. Follow the installation guide and complete the recommended bedding-in procedure before demanding riding. Bedding in prepares the new friction material and establishes an even transfer layer on the rotor.

Which compound does Gorilla Brakes recommend for e-bikes?

What is included in one pack?

Each pack contains 2 brake pads and 1 pad spring for one compatible caliper. Check the front and rear calipers separately before ordering two packs.

OK in the dry. In the wet still quite good to be fair. Will get some more.

Hi Clive, thanks for the great review! Brilliant to hear the pads are performing well in both dry and wet conditions. We really appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again.

Awesome stopping power, a noticeable improvement over standard.

Really happy with the pads

Hi Jon, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the pads! Thanks for your support and enjoy riding!

They were awesome. Noticeably better than stock and have held up well here in the descents of Utah.

Hi Miguel, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the Shimano MT Series brake pads! Thanks for sharing your experience, and happy riding in Utah!

New pads are spot on for braking, only concern I have is when it’s wet brakes squeal like nails down a blackboard.
Not sure if it’s because they’re new, only Done 50 miles but still **** of a squeak in wet conditions.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the feedback, and I’m glad to hear the braking performance is spot on.

With resin pads, a bit of noise in wet conditions can happen, especially when the pads are still quite new. At around 50 miles they may still be bedding into the rotor properly, and in the wet you can get a temporary squeal as water, grit and road film pass between the pad and rotor.

A few things to check:

Make sure the caliper is aligned correctly and the rotor is running clean through the pads.

Avoid using strong cleaners or bike wash directly on the braking surface, as this can interfere with the transfer layer on the rotor.

After washing or riding in heavy rain, do a few firm controlled stops to put some heat back into the pads and dry the system out.

The important part is that the pads are braking well, so it does not sound like a power issue. Wet-weather squeal is normally vibration rather than the pad itself being faulty, but keep an eye on it as they get a bit more use.

If it continues after a few more rides, send us a quick photo of the pads and rotor and we’ll take a look.

Kind regards,
Lee

Best brake pads i have ever used i had gorilla pads in the front and shimano in the rear i had massive brake fade 2 weeks ago in the rear wheel but the gorilla pads in the front held me all the way down those big hills for the rest of the day i have just fitted gorilla in the back brake plus they dont wear down half has much has most good brands they are worth the money

Thanks for a great reveiw

Racing stealth pads once bedded in they made a massive improvement over the standard pads very pleased highly recommend

Who would have thought that swapping out the OE pads would make such a massive difference?!

As soon as these weee bedded in (like, 5 mins tops) the braking was notably improved, I’d say 300% better! And on bog standard Shimano MT200 too. Really appreciated this next time out on the trails.

Lots of advice from the Gorilla Team beforehand and a huge amount of guidance and tips on the site too.

British firm too. Support our growing bike trade guys!

Definitely 5STAR,I ove it.

Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that you're loving our Shimano MT Series Enduro Pro Ultimate Disc Brake Pads. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review, it means a lot to us. Happy riding! 🙂

Great quality pads.

The ceramic compound pads are very progressive and powerful, but they remain quiet in all conditions.

By comparison, under the same amount of lever's pressure, these pads stop you with the same power as Shimano sintered equivalent.

I found the pads reliable on trails, at the bike park and on XC courses.

Hi Emanuel,

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this great to hear how well they’re working across different riding styles.

That progressive feel with strong, consistent power (without the noise) is exactly what we aim for with the Ceramic compound, so it’s spot on that you’re getting that both on trails and at the bike park.

Good comparison with the Shimano sintered too that’s a strong benchmark 👍

Thanks again for the support, and if you ever need anything just give us a shout!

Bought these to replace the expensive Shimano originals. They work better, are compatable with disc materials so no squealing and give you lots of power. Unless you weigh 100Kg plus and are going down Alpe d' Huez the heat dissipation seems just fine.
