Pros & Cons

Used on an ultegra r8000, it brakes just as well as the original!

After installing these pads on my bike, I was amazed by their performance. The braking power is unmatched and the response is immediate, making me feel safe and in control at all times, even at high speeds and in challenging conditions. Moreover, they seem to show almost no wear, even after prolonged use.

Pros & Cons

Good blocks,quiet and good braking

Pros & Cons

Do well what they are supposed to do. Still went for this softer version. Braking power is good and they don't make a lot of noise

Pros & Cons

Top brake pads

Pros & Cons

Are the original blocks, I like driving those

Pros & Cons

Excellent braking power

Pros & Cons

Very solid, durable cubes

Pros & Cons

Shimano's original brake pads are just fine. I notice little difference from the previous version. Brake force is good and perfectly dosable. Also, these brake pads are very quiet.

Pros & Cons

Fine brake pads, pity the order came in an absurdly large box for the size of the brake pad packaging.

Pros & Cons

Works perfectly, also good, quiet operation on long descents

Pros & Cons

I think they're great for descending mountain passes or for precision braking in races.

The brake pads for Shimano Ultegra

Pros & Cons

Just fine, as it should be

Pros & Cons

Excellent brake pads with excellent results because with brakes you simply cannot take any risks! Perfect delivery by Mantel, picked up at the service point Nijmegen where the expert and very friendly and enthusiastic Mantel staff immediately braked the pads on the special roller bench. What a service - perfect

Pros & Cons

This is the replacement for the L03A. Make no noise during braking. Good doseability of braking force.

Pros & Cons

complete response to the predetermined expectations.

Fast delivery, smooth installation, good quality

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble, sufficient braking power

Pros & Cons

Quickly delivered to local Mantel service point with no shipping charges.

Pros & Cons

these brake pads are on my gravel bike and give excellent stopping power in all conditions. road, forest, gravel, wet, dry, mud

Pros & Cons

Replacement of the pads without additional cooling surface. Fits fine and brakes well, now to see if there is any difference when they get a good heat.

Pros & Cons

Does what it says: good braking power, easy to install.

Pros & Cons

Easy to mount. Brakes powerfully.

Pros & Cons

Top helped by salesman,the right product I asked for!

Pros & Cons

Easy installation and replacement. Good value for money.

Pros & Cons

In line with expectations

Does the job. Good braking

Pros & Cons

The successor to the L03A-RF was less available for a long time. Fortunately, now that my blocks had run out, I was able to go into the new season with these L05A-RF. They are very easy to install and align, a child can do the laundry.

Pros & Cons

Meets the requirements

Does perfectly what it is supposed to do, hopefully better heat dissipation on descents!

Pros & Cons

This is the second Purchase I have made. Recommended

Pros & Cons

The product corresponds completely to my order and my expectations.

Known shimano quality, good and solid

Pros & Cons

At a time when all consumables are in short supply, it's reassuring to find them on Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Adopted fast delivery

Pros & Cons

This last version of brake pads is more durable and silent than the L03

Pros & Cons

Do push back pistons well, then it's a piece of cake

Pros & Cons

Much better than the previous version (L03A-RF). With these brake pads gloriously defied descents in the Dolomites, both dry weather and rain.

Pros & Cons

Bought to replace original pads (L03A) for Shimano 105 R7000 caliper: perfect! Easy to install, easy to break-in. This change gave me back all the bite of the original brakes (for resin pads). Super-fast delivery, thanks Mantel!

Pros & Cons

At 82 down the Gotthard pass what good braking when you need it!

Pros & Cons

Did some research if these L05A are the replacement for the mounted and worn out L03A. So YES and they are slightly narrower but fit in my Ultegra disc brake. Just have to push out the brake cylinders, Mantel's video is very useful for that.

Pros & Cons

The brakes are doing great again, with no annoying squeaking.

Pros & Cons

Easy to change brakes well

Already put 3 other models of brake pads on my bike and kept making noise. This set makes no noise !!! Super product.

Pros & Cons

Very good braking performance with very good durability

Great product would not choose an alternative brand

Pros & Cons

Good quality consumables, no nasty surprises, Shimano quality. We've been using these brake pads (or previous models) for 4 years, in the rain, downhill, on the plain, and they brake well. Opinion for use with a complete Shimano set (pads+disks+calipers+105 levers)

Pros & Cons

Nothing to complain about regarding the inserts. On the other hand, delivery time NOT respected for the 3rd time in a row.

Pros & Cons

As already indicated super fast delivery

Pros & Cons

The evolution of the L03As, outwardly they are the same as their predecessors and compatible with the brakes. At the braking level there is no noticeable difference, we will see if the wear improves. The advantage is the package, they arrived in paper bags. The L03As used to arrive in huge plastic boxes, a saving for the environment compared to before!

Pros & Cons

After I had to resort to a "semi-organic" product due to delivery problems, which has driven me almost into madness due to bad brake noise, I am now again very satisfied with this, update product from Shimano.

Pros & Cons

very efficient in operation, but wears out quickly

Pros & Cons

These blocks brake tightly and very evenly. So you have excellent control over your bike.

Pros & Cons

Blocks used during the Marmotte 2022. During the descent I could only focus on the road because the braking went with great confidence!
