Shimano L04C-MF Disc Brake Pads

Sintered metal pads are designed for high-performance stopping power and durability. They maintain consistent friction even in wet or muddy conditions, making them ideal for aggressive riding or steep descents where you need reliable braking.

The aluminum radiator fins act as a heat sink, pulling heat away from the brake pad surface during long or intense braking sessions. This helps prevent brake fade, ensuring your stopping power remains consistent rather than dropping off as the system heats up.

These pads are compatible with a wide range of Shimano calipers, including the BR-R9270, BR-R8170, BR-R8070, BR-RX810, and BR-M8110 series. Always double-check your caliper model number, which is typically stamped on the caliper body, to ensure a perfect match.

Yes, you should always bed-in new brake pads to ensure optimal performance and longevity. After installation, perform a series of controlled stops from moderate speed on a safe, flat surface to properly transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor.

It is generally recommended to use new rotors when switching to sintered metal pads. Sintered pads have a different compound that can react poorly to the residue left behind by organic or resin pads, potentially causing noise or uneven wear.
