Awesome brake rotor! Look great and perform really well.
Hi Paul, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the brake rotor! Thanks for your great feedback.
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!

Service and choice fantastic. Early days on performance of pads but no complaints.
Hi Steven,
Thanks for the great review, we really appreciate it.
Our Semi-Metallic pads are designed more for everyday riding, commuting and recreational use rather than outright performance. They have a maximum power output of around 1200–1300 watts, which is more than enough for this type of riding.
If you’re looking for higher braking performance, especially for harder riding, long descents or more demanding conditions, I’d recommend looking at our Factory Racing compounds or Enduro Pro compounds.
If you need any help choosing the right compound for your brakes and riding style, just give us a call. We’re always happy to help.
Kind regards,
Gorilla Brakes
Improved the performance of my hope brakes massively! Amazing product. Will be purchasing again when necessary!
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that you're so happy with the performance of our Hope V4 / GR4 / TR4 brake pads. Thanks for your great review, and we look forward to your next purchase!
