Your questions

About these brake pads

Fitment, materials and performance explained.

Is this the same compound as Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic?

No. This listing uses standard Semi-Metallic from the Gorilla Brakes Performance range, intended for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails. Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic is a separate compound with its own published ratings and test results.

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 rotor 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.

Which compound does Gorilla Brakes recommend for e-bikes?

Gorilla Brakes positions standard Semi-Metallic in its Performance range for conventional bicycles. For e-bike riding, Gorilla Brakes recommends the Enduro Pro and Factory Racing brake pad ranges. Match the pad shape and complete brake setup to your bike and its total load.

What is included in one pack?

Each pack contains 2 brake pads for one compatible caliper. No pad spring is included. Check the front and rear calipers separately before ordering two packs.

I’ve never experienced such good braking with brand new pads. Hopefully they last well too

Amazing to hear thanks for the review,
