Compatible with all Magura 4-piston brake systems using Type 8.1, 8.P, 8.R, and 8.S pads — engineered for ultra-quiet braking and instant bite rather than pad longevity.
Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Organic Pads use an ultra-soft, non-metallic organic racing compound bonded to a silver back plate. This compound is designed to deliver maximum initial bite, refined modulation, and near-silent braking in dry conditions.
These pads are mechanically compatible with trail, enduro, downhill, and e-MTB braking systems. Due to the extremely soft racing compound, pad wear will be significantly faster than other Factory Racing compounds, especially in wet, muddy, gritty, or abrasive conditions.
⚠ Important Usage Information
Optimised for dry weather riding
Extremely fast wear in wet, muddy, gritty, or winter conditions
No bedding-in process required — full braking performance immediately
Not designed for riders prioritising long pad life or heat resistance
