Compatible with all Shimano road and gravel calipers using L-Type and K-Type pads — engineered for ultra-quiet braking and instant bite rather than pad longevity.
Gorilla Brakes Factory Racing Organic Pads use an ultra-soft, non-metallic organic racing compound bonded to a silver back plate. This compound is designed to deliver refined control, near-silent braking, and immediate response in dry conditions.
These pads are mechanically compatible with road, gravel, cyclocross, and e-road disc brake systems. Due to the extremely soft racing compound, pad wear will be significantly faster than other Factory Racing compounds, 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 process required — full braking performance immediately
- Not designed for riders prioritising long pad life
