Delivered fast with a phone call back to me about the delivery time, great service. I miscalculated and have more titanium pins than I need! If I can't swap for pins suitable for another bike of mine, I won't be stressed, I'll have a spare! Not that I'll need them anytime soon!

Hi Paul, thank you for your kind words! We're glad you appreciated the service and are happy to have spare pins. you more than welcome to send them back for a refund Feel free to reach out if you need any assistance with swaps or future orders. Enjoy your riding!

These are really goooood. They bed in well and bring the bike to a stop like hitting a wall but without the associated pain. 10/10 would buy again.

I’ve been using gorilla pads for a while now and they are great value.
I recently tried a better known brand of pads and they were rubbish in comparison and cost more.
These are great pads and perform well in all conditions.

Hi John, thanks so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with our Gorilla Brakes pads and that they perform well for you. We appreciate your support!

I asked Gorilla about replacement pads for more oomph and they recommended these ones. No need to upgrade my brakes now as these pads have helped the braking power considerably

Replaced the standard SRAM brake pads on my new Ribble Allgrit gravel bike. The Gorilla pads are fantastic once bedded in. The braking is smooth and progressive whatever the conditions. The Apex brakes with Gorilla pads is a great combination which gives me complete confidence on any terrain.

Excellent brake pads for my MTB

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're thrilled to hear that our SRAM Level/RED/Force/Rival/Apex (2-Piston) Enduro Pro Ultimate Disc Brake Pads are working well for your MTB. Happy riding!

Working as expected so far. Only had a few miles on them, but great quality and stopping power. I don't buy pads from anyone else these days - the quality is great and consistent.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that our SRAM Level / RED / Force / Rival / Apex (2-Piston) – Enduro Pro Ultimate Disc Brake Pads are living up to your expectations. We pride ourselves on providing top-quality products with reliable stopping power. We truly appreciate your loyalty and support. Ride on!

Perfect balance of stopping power and low noise. Maybe not the best by Gorilla as a pad for all weathers in deepest depths of winter simply because the less expensive pads make sense for off road riding at that time of year. But from late spring to late summer or a dry autumn they are the best stopping blocks I’ve ever used and I use a lot.

Thank you for your review! We're happy to hear that our SRAM Level / RED / Force / Rival / Apex (2-Piston) – Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads have provided the perfect balance of stopping power and low noise for your riding needs. We understand that different weather conditions may require different brake pads, but we're glad to know that these have been the best for late spring to late summer or a dry autumn. We truly appreciate your support and feedback. Happy riding!

Unfortunately the pads performed really badly. I bedded the brakes in but they still started to squeal really badly. They were that bad that I've had to change to original SRAM pads.

Hi Mr Beard,

We are sorry to hear you are having issues, but we are a little confused as to why you did not contact us directly when the problem first started so we could help diagnose it properly for you.

One very important thing to understand is that when changing from an organic/resin brake pad to a full sintered compound, the existing transfer layer left on the rotor by the old pads has to be removed and replaced with a new sintered transfer layer. This process takes significantly longer to bed in correctly compared to simply replacing the same compound type.

During this bedding process, noise and vibration can happen if there are inconsistencies within the braking system. Brake pads themselves do not “make noise” — noise is caused by vibration resonance created by contamination, uneven pad transfer, piston imbalance, rotor inconsistencies, alignment issues, or an incomplete transfer layer on the rotor surface.

Sintered pads are a much harder and more aggressive compound compared to organic pads, so they will highlight issues within the system far more than a soft organic compound would.

If you would like, send us some photos of the rotor surface and pads, or give our workshop a call and we will happily help you get the system working correctly.

Kind regards,
Lee Hine
