Compatible with all Shimano 4-piston calipers using D-Type, H-Type, or N-Type pads — designed 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 engineered to deliver maximum initial bite, refined control, and near-silent braking in dry conditions.

These pads are compatible with e-MTB, enduro, downhill, trail, and all-mountain braking systems. Due to the extremely soft racing compound, pad wear will be significantly faster than other Factory Racing compounds, particularly in wet, muddy, 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
