Compatible with SRAM RED, Force, Level Ultimate (ULT), and other asymmetric 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. This compound is designed to deliver refined lever feel, near-silent braking, and maximum initial bite in dry conditions.
These pads are mechanically compatible with road, gravel, XC, endurance, and e-bike braking systems. Due to the extremely soft racing compound, pad wear will be significantly faster than other Factory Racing compounds, especially in wet, 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

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
