Compatible with Shimano G-Type and J-Type 2-piston calipers — ideal for riders who want quieter braking, smoother modulation, and reliable control across mixed terrain.
Gorilla Brakes Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads use a precision-blended metal/resin compound to balance confident bite with a softer, quieter lever feel. They’re more rotor-friendly than full metallic pads and are a great choice for trail and all-weather riding where comfort and control matter.
Not suitable for Heavy e-bike applications.

Really like these pads. The bite point is very consistent and they haven't faded even on long descents. Definitely worth the money if you want some good quality brake pads
Thanks Oliver we love the factory racing pads too have an awesome week
Used these for the first time on decent from Beinn a' Bhùird, they performed admirably with no fade and plenty of grip on a prolonged decent with significant braking required, conditions were foggy at top and dry out of cloud. Very happy.
