Compatible with Shimano G-Type and J-Type 2-piston calipers — 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. The result is refined lever feel, near-silent braking and maximum initial bite in dry conditions.
These pads are compatible with road, gravel, cyclocross, XC, trail, urban and e-bike braking systems. Because the compound is extremely soft, pad wear will be significantly faster than other Factory Racing options, especially in wet, gritty or abrasive conditions.
⚠ Important Usage Information

Riders who want instant bite and low noise (and accept faster wear)
Gorilla Brakes is trusted by riders worldwide, with over 13,000 verified positive feedback ratings.
We also work closely with race teams and sponsored riders to validate performance in real-world conditions.
The Stealth compound is a welcome variant of a more regular sintered compound. Same power with the added bonus on low noise, especially in wet conditions.
The bedding process was surprisingly quick as well.
I had a chance to test these pads on local trails without issues. No signs of fading after long downhill braking
