Shimano G04S Metal Brake Pads

Maximum Braking Power and Durability | Compatible with XTR, XT, SLX, Deore

The Shimano G04S are high-performance metal compound brake pads designed for riders who demand consistent stopping power in the most challenging conditions. Unlike resin pads, the metallic compound offers superior resistance to fade and maintains excellent performance even during long, steep descents or in muddy and wet environments.

These pads are a "must-have" for mountain bikers looking for long-lasting reliability and a firm, powerful lever feel.

Detailed Description

High Friction Metallic Compound

The sintered metal compound is engineered for aggressive riding. It provides a higher braking force compared to organic (resin) pads. It is particularly effective for heavy-duty use, such as Enduro or technical XC, where brakes are subjected to high temperatures.

All-Weather Reliability

Whether you are riding through summer dust or winter mud, the G04S pads ensure your braking remains predictable. The metallic particles are designed to "bite" through the film of water or debris on the rotor, offering safety when you need it most.

Long Life Span

One of the primary advantages of the G04S is its wear resistance. These pads significantly outlast resin alternatives, making them a cost-effective choice for high-mileage riders.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do metallic pads make more noise than resin pads?

A: Metal pads can be slightly noisier, especially in wet conditions. However, the trade-off is much higher braking power and significantly longer life.

Q: Can I use these on any rotor?

A: No. Ensure your rotors are marked with "Wide" or "Metal Compatible". If your rotor says "Resin Pads Only," using G04S pads will wear the rotor down prematurely.

Q: Is the spring included?

A: Yes, the package includes one pair of pads and the necessary return spring.
