Compatibility

These pads are for the listed Shimano 4-piston calipers. Check the exact caliper model; two-piston versions from the same groupset use different pads.

E-bike compatibility

Enduro Pro Ultimate is an e-bike-rated compound. Use these pads 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 meet your brake manufacturer’s specifications. Check rotor 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.

How do I check whether these pads fit?

These pads are for the listed Shimano 4-piston calipers. Check the exact caliper model; two-piston versions from the same groupset use different pads.

What is included in one pack?

Each pack contains one pair of pads (2 pads) and 1 spring for one compatible caliper. For front and rear replacement, check both calipers and order the appropriate pack for each.

Are the ratings specific to this pad shape?

No. The ratings describe the Enduro Pro Ultimate friction compound. Individual backing plates, pad shapes and calipers have not been separately scored.

What does the steel and aluminium comparison show?

The steel-backed sample kept the caliper cooler at comparable rotor temperatures in the tested setup. The graph compares caliper temperatures, not cooling time or every available pad shape.

Are these suitable for e-bikes?

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

How long will these pads last?

Enduro Pro Ultimate achieved the best wear resistance within the published bench test group. Actual pad life depends on the braking system, rider and load, terrain, weather, contamination and riding conditions.

Will these pads always be silent?

The compound has a quietness rating of 8 out of 10. Actual noise depends on the complete braking system, its condition, bedding in and riding conditions.

Been using these pads in my HEL Advocate brakes on my Yeti LTe, big bike with a big rider need plenty of stopping power and these pads work for me.

Hi David, we're thrilled to hear these pads are meeting your stopping power needs on your Yeti LTe! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Really like these pads. The bite point is very consistent and they haven't faded even on long descents. Definitely worth the money if you want some good quality brake pads

Thanks Oliver we love the factory racing pads too have an awesome week

Great company, great product. I purchased some Enduro pro pads and upon running in, found them incredibly noisy. I left a review and was then contacted by the company owner who was calling to see if he could help. Turns out, the brand new rotors I had purchased from Magura are renowned for this. Lee organised an alternative set of pads at no cost. It’s taken me a couple of weeks to get the opportunity to try these out, but I’ve just completed the London to Brighton off road event this weekend with complete silence from the brakes. Can’t recommend this company enough

Catherine Parker

Second set of these pads now my choice of stoppers. Wore the first set out quicker than normal due to the pads giving increased confidence so instead of looking down a descent and thinking nah forget it I will come a cropper and not stop, I now go you know what go for it I will stop. Bit of a weird thing having better brakes make you go faster and harder as you have the confidence you can stop

Hi Catherine, we're thrilled to hear these pads give you the confidence to ride harder and faster! Thanks for sharing your experience, and happy riding!

The pads sent do not have the cooling fins attached to them as they should with the Shimano M8220/M8200 calipers .
I’ve not tried fitting the ones sent yet but it is disappointing that they are not the correct spec .
Delivery was fast and service reliable as usual.

Hi Richard, thank you for your feedback and support. We’re sorry the pads were not what you expected. These Factory Racing Organic pads use a non-finned D-type back plate. Shimano lists both finned and non-finned pads as compatible with the four-piston BR-M8220 caliper. We understand you expected fins, so please leave them unused and contact us with your order number. We will arrange a return and help with a suitable alternative. Thank you for your kind words about our delivery and service.

Joseph Hands

Would rate gorilla brakes 5 stars had a small issue with the order I think the delivery label was missed, they responded to me quickly and answered any questions I asked, they were extremely polite and apologetic. Due to the inconvenience they sent me an extra set of pads.
The pads themselves perform extremely well, will continue to use them for my pads in the future

Hi Joseph, thank you for the kind words and for sharing your experience! We're glad you're happy with the pads and our customer service. We look forward to helping you again in the future!

Dan Imeson

The pads are insane, the stopping power and fade resistance is incredible even for myself on an Emtb and being a heavier rider. So easy to fit, literally a 5 min min for the pair. 10/10 and will 100% be getting more when these need changing.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for the amazing feedback. That is exactly what the Enduro Pro Ultimate compound is built for powerful braking, strong fade resistance and reliable performance for heavier riders, e-MTBs and long descents.

Great to hear they were easy to fit and that you’re happy with the stopping power. Really appreciate the 10/10 review.

Kind regards,
Gorilla Brakes
