2 Piston Ceramic MTB Brake Pads for Shimano Brakes

DescriptionOur Shimano Brake Pads come in two awe inspiring compounds, Ceramic and Metallic. These are a direct replacement for Shimano’s brakes that use F or G type pads. These are commonly found on Shimano’s 2 Piston MTB brakes and some older road brakes. See the list below for a complete list of compatible brakes.Ceramic Pads: Softer compound provides better initial bite than metallic. Quiet, no really, they are very quiet. Easy and quick to “bed in.” Less brake fade than resin pads. Not as strong in wet and sloppy conditions, but still provide great initial bite. May not last as long as metallic, but lasts way longer than resin. Metallic Pads (aka Sintered): Harder compound lacks initial bite, but provides max stopping power under heavy load. Long lasting. Take a longer time to “bed in.” Can be noisy if it’s wet. Good heat transfer and better on long downhills. Good for cold weather, mud and wet conditions. Need more help picking a compound? Read our guide in the tech library. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your pads either. I often run metallic up front and ceramic in the rear.These Shimano Brake Pads pads fit the following brakes: M9000, M9020, XTR M987, XTR M985, XT M8100, XT M8000, XT M785, SLX M7100, SLX M7000, SLX M675, SLX BR-M666, DEORE M6000, DEORE M615, ALFINE S7000, ALFINE S700, 105 RS785, ULTEGRA R785, ULTEGRA RS785, R517, CX77.
