Compatible with all Shimano 4-piston calipers using D-Type, H-Type, or N-Type pads — for riders seeking quiet, consistent braking and smooth lever feel across XC, trail, and all-mountain terrain.
Gorilla Brakes Ceramic NANO TECH Pads use an advanced ceramic friction compound infused with nano-resins for ultra-smooth, low-noise braking and exceptional rotor protection. These pads are ideal for riders who prioritise control and comfort over aggressive bite. Not suitable for e-bikes.
