If your brake caliper uses Shimano L-Type or K-Type pads, these will fit.
Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Organic Disc Brake Pads are purpose-built for riders who prioritise
ultra-quiet braking, immediate bite, and refined lever feel over pad longevity.
Using an extremely soft, non-metallic organic racing compound bonded to a lightweight silver backing plate,
these pads deliver instant performance in dry conditions with minimal noise.
This is a specialist race-focused compound.
Pad wear will be significantly faster than other Factory Racing options,
particularly in wet, gritty, or abrasive conditions.
⚠ Important Usage Information
Optimised for dry weather road and gravel riding
Extremely fast wear in wet, muddy, or winter conditions
No bedding-in required — full braking performance immediately
Not designed for riders prioritising long pad life
