Compatible with Tektro Gemini, Auriga, Dorado, and Orion 4×2P (rear caliper only) systems —
engineered for ultra-quiet braking and refined lever feel 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 instant bite, smooth modulation, and
near-silent braking performance in dry riding conditions.
These pads are mechanically compatible with trail, XC, urban, gravel, and e-MTB braking systems.
Due to the extremely soft racing compound,
pad wear will be significantly faster than other Gorilla Brakes compounds,
especially in wet, muddy, gritty, or abrasive conditions.
⚠ Important Usage Information
- Optimised for dry weather riding
- Extremely fast wear in wet, muddy, gritty, or winter conditions
- No bedding-in process required — full braking performance immediately
- Not designed for riders prioritising pad longevity or heat resistance
