Galfer E-Bike Disc Brake Pads

These pads use a semi-metallic compound specifically engineered to handle the extra weight and higher speeds of e-bikes. Unlike organic pads, which can fade quickly under heavy loads, this compound resists heat buildup and glazing, providing more consistent stopping power on long descents.

These specific pads are compatible with SRAM Guide and Avid Trail brake calipers. Always verify your caliper model before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

While metallic pads are sometimes known for noise, the Galfer e-bike compound is formulated to balance high-performance stopping power with quieter operation than many standard metallic alternatives. However, some minor noise is possible during the initial break-in period or in wet conditions.

It means the brakes don't feel like an on/off switch. You get a strong initial bite when you first pull the lever, followed by a smooth, predictable increase in stopping power as you apply more pressure, which gives you much better control when navigating technical terrain or carrying heavy cargo.

Yes, proper bedding-in is essential for any new brake pads. After installation, perform a series of controlled stops from moderate speed on a flat, safe surface to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor, which ensures optimal performance and longevity.
