Shimano L04C-MF Disc Brake Pads

The metallic compound is designed for durability and consistent performance in challenging conditions. It maintains reliable stopping power in both wet and dry weather, making it a strong choice for riders who frequently encounter rain or mud.

The aluminum cooling fins are designed to dissipate heat away from the brake system during long, sustained descents. By keeping the operating temperature lower, they help prevent brake fade, ensuring your stopping power remains consistent when you need it most.

These pads are compatible with a wide range of Shimano road and mountain calipers, but you should always verify your specific brake model number before purchasing. Check the back of your current pads or your caliper body to confirm the 'L04C' compatibility.

Yes, it is crucial to properly bed-in your new pads after installation. Find a safe, flat area and perform a series of controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor, which optimizes performance and reduces noise.

The stainless steel backplate provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant foundation for the friction material. This construction ensures the pad maintains its shape and structural integrity under high heat and pressure, leading to a longer service life compared to softer backing materials.
