Jagwire Pro E-Bike Disc Brake Pad

E-bikes are significantly heavier and faster than traditional bicycles, which puts extra strain on your braking system. These pads use a specialized semi-metallic compound and a steel backing plate designed specifically to manage that increased heat and weight, offering better stopping power and longevity than standard pads.

These pads are designed to fit a variety of Shimano brakes, but compatibility depends on your specific caliper model. Check your current brake pad shape against the Jagwire pad shape numbers 19 and 22 to ensure a proper match before purchasing.

Semi-metallic compounds strike a balance between the bite of metallic pads and the quiet, modulation-friendly nature of resin pads. They offer consistent performance in various weather conditions and are durable enough to withstand the frequent, heavy braking loads common with e-bike riding.

Yes, the steel backing plate provides superior structural integrity compared to aluminum or other lighter materials. It resists warping under the high heat generated during long descents or hard stops, ensuring your brakes remain stable and responsive.

Installation is straightforward if you are comfortable performing basic bike maintenance, such as removing your wheel and caliper pins. If you have never replaced disc brake pads before, we recommend consulting your brake manufacturer's service manual or having a local shop handle the installation to ensure proper alignment.
