Compatible with Shimano G-Type and J-Type 2-piston calipers — the perfect upgrade for riders who value quiet control, smoother modulation, and reliable stopping power across mixed terrain.
Gorilla Brakes Semi-Metallic Pads use a precision-blended metal-resin compound that combines confident bite with a softer, quieter braking feel. They reduce noise and rotor wear while delivering stable, predictable control for trail and all-weather use. Not suitable for e-bike applications.
