Galfer Disc Brake Pads

Yes, these pads are specifically engineered to fit Magura MT5 and MT7 four-piston calipers. They are not compatible with two-piston systems.

Standard pads often struggle with the extra weight and higher speeds of eBikes, leading to premature wear and brake fade. Galfer uses a specialized compound designed to manage that increased thermal stress and provide more consistent stopping power.

Installation is straightforward, but it is essential to bed in the new pads properly. After installing, perform a series of controlled stops on a flat, safe surface to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor, which ensures optimal performance and prevents noise.

While no brake pad is completely silent in all conditions, the Galfer compound is formulated for durability and heat management, which generally helps maintain consistent performance in challenging trail conditions. However, like any metallic-based pad, you may experience some noise if they get wet or dirty.

While they are built to handle the extreme demands of downhill and eBike riding, they work perfectly fine for standard trail riding. You will simply benefit from increased longevity and more reliable stopping power, especially on long descents.
