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.

These pads provided great braking power on a weeks downhilling in Italy.
Easy to bed in and no squealing

Hi Steve, we're thrilled to hear these pads performed so well during your downhill in Italy! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Gorilla Brakes. Happy riding!

First ride today with the new pads. The new pads stop better, with less noise than the OEM! Very happy with the purchase from Gorilla.

Hi Mark, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the new pads! Thanks for choosing Gorilla Brakes and happy riding!

We have been using Gorilla brakes for sometime and always been very happy with the products supplied. With my last order I incorrectly ordered a set of Sintered pads for our MTB E-Bikes before leaveing for a tour of the UK. After just a couple rides we were experiencing some problems, I contacted Gorilla brakes who were able to diagnosed the problem instantly and sent a set of replacement pads direct to our campsite. A five star rating doesn't seem quite high enough for the above & bejond support we recieved! Fantastic service & support, thanks to all at Gorilla Brakes we are now able to continue our tour of the UK with fully functioning MTB E-Bikes c/w Gorilla Brakes. Cheers Guy's Mark & Lyn Chivers......

thank you so much for being a loyal Gorilla Brakes customer. I am incredibly sorry to hear that this last order disrupted your motorhome trip!What you experienced is a classic brake upgrade pitfall. Because you previously ran our Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic pads successfully, your rotors have a layer of semi-metallic material embedded in the metal. Sintered pads require a completely clean surface; when they press into old semi-metallic residue, they vibrate violently and cause severe noise and poor performance. They also require a very aggressive bed-in process to work quietly. We want to make this right immediately so you can enjoy your travels. I have sent a private email to your inbox so we can arrange to get the right pads back on your bikes. Safe travels!

Absolutely outstanding service and Customer care. I ordered the wrong pads ( my mistake, didn’t do good reading). Contacted Gorilla and I had the correct pads the next day, brilliant…. Oh and the pads a decent too 👍🏼 Cheers Folks

Great fast service. Once pads worn in there good,grip well. Will buy again.

Hi Craig, you should try our factory racing or Enduro pro compounds they add around 600 watt of power to your braking have a look at our lab reports https://gorillabrakes.com/pages/gorilla-brakes-compound-comparison#enduro-pro

They are great, issue definitely buy more when needed. 👍👍

Pads really bring the SRAM db8s close till the Shimano

Hi there! We're glad to hear that our pads are bringing your SRAM DB8s close to Shimano performance. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Not my first pair of semi metallic pads from Gorilla Brakes. Ideal pads for my style of riding, good compromise between sintered and organic pads plenty of bite without wet weather squealing you can get with sintered pads.Good value and prompt delivery.

Hi there, thank you for your fantastic review! We're glad to hear our semi-metallic pads suit your riding style and that you appreciate the value and prompt delivery. Cheers for choosing Gorilla Brakes!

Great quality item, really quick despatch and loads of information.

Thanks for the kind words Philip

Just great value pads

Hi Barry, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the value of our pads! Thanks for your support.

Great choice and value for money - would be appreciated if the packaging was labeled with the brake pad type within !

Hi Barry, thanks for your feedback! The label should be on the clear window at the back of the packaging. Sorry if it was missed this time. We appreciate your support!

Brake pads work really well on my E-Bike. Only thing I find is they are a bit squeaky even on brand new discs. Otherwise perfect

Thanks for the great review, really pleased to hear the pads are working well on your E-Bike.

The squeaking is usually caused by vibration resonance rather than the pad itself. Even with brand new discs this can happen, especially before the pads and rotors have fully bedded in. E-Bikes also put a lot more load and heat through the braking system, which can make any small amount of vibration more noticeable.

It’s worth making sure the rotors are completely clean, the calipers are centred correctly and then giving the pads a good bedding-in cycle. In most cases the noise will reduce considerably once the pad and rotor surfaces have properly matched.

If it continues, give us a call and we’ll be happy to go through it with you.

Thanks again for the review!

thanks mark

Very quick. Very good quality. Will buy again.

Hi James, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you're happy with the quality and speed. Looking forward to your next purchase!

Used these for the first time on decent from Beinn a' Bhùird, they performed admirably with no fade and plenty of grip on a prolonged decent with significant braking required, conditions were foggy at top and dry out of cloud. Very happy.

Great bite and strength. Best pads Ive used.
