E-bike use

Factory Racing Organic 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 meet your brake manufacturer’s specifications. Check rotor condition and minimum permitted thickness before fitting new pads.

Compound performance

Factory Racing Organic

Quiet, responsive braking for dry XC, road and gravel. This ultra-soft organic compound prioritises braking feel. This compound can wear very quickly in wet and muddy conditions.

Scores are approximate readings from the Factory Racing Organic chart. They describe the tested compound; actual braking and wear depend on your brake setup and riding conditions.

Compound testing

Factory Racing Organic: braking power

These pads use a steel backing plate. The ratings shown on this page describe the Factory Racing Organic friction compound.

The graph compares pad compounds and backing-plate configurations, all tested with the Shimano XT RT86 rotor.

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.

Follow the Factory Racing Organic curve. Its highest plotted output in the Shimano XT RT86 rotor comparison was approximately 1,200 W. Values are approximate reconstructions from the supplied graph. This result describes the tested pad and rotor setup, not a maximum power rating or a fitment test.

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.

What do the performance ratings describe?

Scores are approximate readings from the Factory Racing Organic chart. They describe the tested compound; actual braking and wear depend on your brake setup and riding conditions. These scores describe the friction compound. Individual pad shapes, backing plates and calipers have not been separately scored here. Approximate ratings out of 10 from the supplied Factory Racing compound chart. Higher ratings indicate stronger performance in that category; a higher quietness rating means quieter braking.

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 the rotor’s 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.

Can I use these pads on an e-bike?

Yes. Factory Racing Organic 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.

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.

Great pads, in my opinion they are far superior to the stock pads that come with the Trp evo brakes. Fantastic stopping power and well worth the money

Hi Kenny, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you're pleased with the pads and their stopping power. Enjoy your rides! dont forget to send back your old brake pads for recycling

Didn't make a huge difference compared to Shimano H03A. Better bite but no change on the braking power (not yet tested on harsh conditions/long downhill

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback.

That makes sense. The brake pad compound can improve bite, feel, modulation, heat resistance and fade control, but the actual braking power mainly comes from the hydraulic brake system itself.

The lever, master cylinder, hose, fluid, caliper piston size, rotor size and overall brake setup are what create the clamping force at the caliper. The pad then controls how that force is converted into friction at the rotor.

So if you are feeling better initial bite, that shows the compound is engaging well. However, if the overall braking power feels similar to the Shimano H03A, that is normally because the hydraulic system is producing the same amount of force as before. A pad can improve how the brake feels and performs under heat, but it cannot completely change the power output of the brake system.

Where you may notice more difference is in harsher conditions, longer descents, repeated braking, wet weather, or when the brakes start to get hot. That is where compound stability, heat management and fade resistance become more noticeable.

Kind regards,LeeGorilla Brakes

Didnt squeak and felt very good on downhill trails

Thanks for the feedback, Zachary! 🙌 Great to hear they stayed quiet and performed well on the downhill trails. That’s exactly what we designed them for strong, consistent braking without the unwanted noise. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope they continue to serve you well.

Loud but good power, completely changed my brakes.

Hi Ethan,

If you’re getting noise, it’s usually down to vibration in the system rather than the pads themselves. The first thing to check is your pistons—make sure all four are moving evenly.

On TRP DHR EVO brakes, a common cause is one piston moving slower than the others. That imbalance creates vibration, which leads to noise.

Our sintered pads will run quietly when all pistons are making even contact with the rotor.

If you’re unsure, give us a call and we’ll help you get it sorted. or take the pads out send us a picture of them flat on a table we will tell you exactly where the issue is Happy riding

The brake pads have not been performing as expected. I’ve tried bedding them in twice now, and it takes them quite a while to have any bite when I start riding. And they howl. it’s pretty frustrating.

Absolutely must have pads, bite and control is outstanding! I used them during all type of the weather including sub zero temperatures and snow on steep enduro /DH trails and never fail me, more dirty and wet they were better they performed! Also life spam is awesome and rotators still looking good!
