Your questions

About these brake pads

Fitment, materials and performance explained.

Which Hope RX4 calipers do these pads fit?

These pads fit RX4+ and original RX4-SH (Shimano) calipers using HBSP323, with a 37 mm reference width. They do not fit original RX4-SR (SRAM), which uses HBSP359 with a 31 mm reference width. Check the exact version and pad outline, not just the SRAM or Shimano lever name.

Is this the smaller original RX4-SR pad?

No. This is the larger HBSP323 shape with a 37 mm reference width. Original RX4-SR uses HBSP359 with a 31 mm reference width. Match the complete pad shape and exact caliper version.

Is this the same compound as Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic?

No. This listing uses standard Semi-Metallic from the Gorilla Brakes Performance range, intended for commuting, road, gravel and lighter trails. Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic is a separate compound with its own published ratings and test results.

Which rotors can I use with this compound?

This compound is suitable for all bicycle disc brake rotor types, including rotors marked “resin pads only”. Rotor diameter and thickness must meet your brake manufacturer’s specifications. Check rotor condition and minimum permitted thickness before fitting new pads.

Do new brake pads need bedding in?

Yes. Follow the installation guide and complete the recommended bedding-in procedure before demanding riding. Bedding in prepares the new friction material and establishes an even transfer layer on the rotor.

Which compound does Gorilla Brakes recommend for e-bikes?

Gorilla Brakes positions standard Semi-Metallic in its Performance range for conventional bicycles. For e-bike riding, Gorilla Brakes recommends the Enduro Pro and Factory Racing brake pad ranges. Match the pad shape and complete brake setup to your bike and its total load.
