Your questions

About these brake pads

Fitment, materials and performance explained.

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.

How do I check that these pads fit my brakes?

Match the exact caliper model and existing pad shape to the compatibility table on this page. Do not rely on the brake lever name or series alone. Check the front and rear calipers separately, because some systems use different pad shapes at each end.

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?

What is included in one pack?

Each pack contains 2 brake pads and 1 pad spring for one compatible caliper. Check the front and rear calipers separately before ordering two packs.

Fit on my slx very well, no rattle at all. The spring that comes with them is the best I’ve ever used. Actual braking performance is very good and the price is excellent. Also the fact it’s a British company is massive bonus for me. I would love to gorilla pads take on a finned version 🤙🚲💨

Yeah glad I bought these as they bedded in with no squeaks or squeals

Hi there! Thank you for your positive review on our Shimano Disc Brake Pads. We're happy to hear that they bedded in smoothly without any noisy interruptions. We hope they continue to provide you with a great braking experience. Happy riding!

Yes bedded in no problem with no squeaking. Initially ordered the wrong pads for a vintage bike but Gorilla corrected that and sent me the correct pads so I was very impressed. When I need new pads on my other bikes I am looking forward to trying the Enduro Pro as the go to rather than the expensive Shimano's.

Awesome brakes. Switched up from Shimano branded resin to these ceramic ones. Great (and certainly better) stopping power in the both the dry and the wet although slightly noisier than resin but not to cause me any bother.
