Galfer Disc Brake Pads

These pads are designed for two-piston systems and are compatible with Shimano XTR (2011-2018), XT (2014 and newer), and specific M-series calipers including M9020, M8100, M988, M985, M980, M785, and M675 models. Please verify your caliper model number before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Yes, these pads are engineered to handle the increased weight and higher speeds associated with e-bikes. Their construction focuses on heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining consistent stopping power during the longer, more demanding braking sessions common with electric assist bicycles.

Absolutely. They are designed to perform reliably across both disciplines. Whether you are managing speed on a road descent or navigating technical mountain trails, the compound is optimized to provide consistent friction and control.

Galfer pads are often chosen for their specific compound formulations, which prioritize heat management and durability. If you find your current brakes fade during long descents or lack the initial bite you prefer, these pads offer a performance-focused alternative designed to improve consistency.

Yes, it is essential to bed-in your new brake pads properly. After installation, perform a series of controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor, which ensures optimal friction and prevents noise.
