Shimano L04C Metal

The Shimano L04C Metal Metal brake pads are durable, give high braking power and are compatible with most Shimano road bike disc brakes and the Shimano XTR M9100 mountain bike brakes. Make sure you have disc brake rotors that are compatible with these brake pads. You can find further explanations about this lower down on this page.

Good wear resistance and heat dissipation
The Shimano L04C Metal are sintered brake pads with cooling fins that are compatible with Shimano road bike disc brakes. These brake pads consist of a compound of resin mixed with metal particles, placed on a backing with cooling fins. This compound is therefore very hard and wear-resistant.
Sintered brake pads by themselves are more resistant to the heat that can occur when braking a lot. This property is enhanced by the cooling fins placed on the backing plate, which minimises heat build-up.
The disadvantage of these brake pads is that they do not engage as quickly as organic or semi-metallic pads and make more noise during braking.

Good braking power under even the most extreme conditions
So, with these brake pads, you are guaranteed good braking power in all conditions, even the most extreme ones. So, whether you're cycling in very muddy conditions or making long descents in hot conditions. With the Shimano L04C Metal you will always be on the right track!

Not compatible with all disc brake rotors.
These hard brake pads are not compatible with all disc brake rotors. These brake pads can only be used on ground disc brake rotors as they consist of harder material. Pressed, soft disc brake rotors are only compatible with soft, organic brake pads. This is because these will quickly wear out with harder brake pads.

Please note:
Manufacturers use different fits. So please pay close attention if the shape of the brake pad in the picture matches your current brake pad. If you do not know what shape you have, scroll to the bottom of this page. There, each pad is described for which type of brake it is compatible with.

This brake pad has the Shimano G fit. If you are looking for an alternative, or this brake pad is sold out, you can find alternative brake pads here.

Breaking in your brake pads is essential to their performance. Doing so will make them last longer, brake better and squeak less.
