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.

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

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.

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!

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

Great stopping power and quiet in the dry. Not had chance to use them in wet conditions
Hi Steven, thank you for your fantastic review! We're glad you're happy with the stopping power and quiet performance. Hopefully, you'll enjoy them just as much in wet conditions when you get the chance. Cheers for choosing Gorilla Brakes!
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 experience. Website very clear and advice helpful. Much easier than trying to determine the right version for using the original brake manufactures website. Easy to fit, work well and a good price.
Hi John, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had a great experience and that our products and service met your expectations. Enjoy your ride with the new brake pads!
