Compatibility

Match the exact caliper model and existing pad shape to the list below before ordering. This listing covers XCR Pro X2 only. XCR Pro E4 uses the E4 pad shape. Check the caliper, not just the XCR lever name.

Suitable for compatible e-bike brakes

Enduro Pro Ultimate is an e-bike-rated compound. Use this pad shape only with the compatible calipers listed here, and match the complete brake setup to your bike and total load.

Rotor compatibility

This compound is suitable for all bicycle disc brake rotor types, including rotors marked “resin pads only”.

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

Compound performance

Enduro Pro Ultimate

Our published compound testing shows strong braking output as rotor temperatures rise. Enduro Pro Ultimate also achieved the best wear resistance within the bench test group.

These findings describe the samples and setups tested. Actual performance and wear depend on your braking system and riding conditions.

About this test

The horizontal axis shows rotor temperature; the vertical axis shows caliper temperature. At the same rotor temperature, a lower curve means a cooler caliper in this test setup. Consider this alongside braking power, pad life and correct fitment when choosing pads for long descents or heavier loads.

Indicative test comparison. Results relate to the tested samples and setup.

Compare braking power across compounds

All eight curves use the Shimano XT RT86 rotor. Choose a compound to highlight its tested result.

Why some curves stop earlier

Each test run stopped when the measured caliper temperature reached 120°C, the stopping threshold used to protect the piston seals in this test setup. The horizontal axis shows rotor temperature. Sintered’s shorter curve means the caliper reached the limit at a lower rotor temperature.

About this test

This chart compares braking power for bedded-in pads, all tested with the Shimano XT RT86 rotor. The horizontal axis shows rotor temperature (°C); the vertical axis shows braking power (W). Each curve represents the compound and backing-plate configuration named in the selector. Compare curves within their plotted ranges; no result is shown beyond the end of a curve.

Two Enduro Pro Ultimate results are shown: the main comparison sample and the aluminium-backed sample. Both used the Shimano XT RT86 rotor. Compare each curve as its labelled backing-plate configuration.

Test context: All pads shown can be good choices for their intended use when correctly matched to the bike and rotor, installed and bedded in. A lower or shorter curve does not by itself make a pad a poor everyday choice. Real riding temperatures depend on the route, total load, braking technique and setup; this test does not establish a temperature limit for the average rider. Rotor choice can substantially affect braking power, but these results apply to the tested combinations. This comparison does not guarantee the same improvement on another bike or identify one best pad for every rider.

Your questions

About these brake pads

Fitment, materials and performance explained.

Does XCR compatibility include the XCR Pro E4 brake?

No. This listing covers XCR Pro X2 only. XCR Pro E4 uses the E4 pad shape. Check the caliper, not just the XCR lever name.

How many brakes does one pack cover?

Each pack contains one pair of brake pads (2 pads) and 1 pad spring for one compatible caliper. Order two packs for both brakes only after checking that both calipers use this pad shape.

Are the ratings for this pad shape or for the compound?

The ratings describe the Enduro Pro Ultimate friction compound, not this caliper, backing plate or complete braking system. Braking performance also depends on the brake setup, rider and load, terrain, conditions and bedding-in.

Can these pads be used on an e-bike?

Enduro Pro Ultimate is an e-bike-rated compound. Use this pad shape only with the compatible calipers listed here, and match the complete brake setup to your bike and total load.

Do the pads need bedding in?

Yes. Follow the installation and bedding-in guides before normal riding. Bedding in prepares the new friction material and rotor contact surface.

Does the quietness rating mean the pads are silent?

No. The compound has a quietness rating of 8 out of 10. Noise can still vary with the rotor, conditions, alignment, contamination and bedding-in.

Delivered quickly. Ordered as spare and regular suppler had no stock of X2 pad. Not tested yet so can't comment on performance.

Hi Mark, thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear your order arrived quickly. We hope the pads perform well when you get a chance to test them. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
