If you are looking for reliable, powerful and durable brake pads, these are recommended.
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.

Great brake pads, a bit pricey though if you need to replace them often
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

Just good brake pads.
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.

Excellent brake pads - perfectly fitted and braked in by Mantel mechanic!
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

Excellent brake pads
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.

Solid successor to L03A-RF
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.

No more squeaky brakes
Meets the requirements

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

Perfect replacement for L03A
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!

At 82 down the Gotthard pass what good braking when you need it!
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Just super stuff, not cheap but good brakes are a necessity! definitely
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

Need something for the racer or mtb, then shopping at mantle is a very good idea!

Pros & Cons

Efficient, quiet inserts
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
4 / 5
Super plates, but delivery leaves something to be desired.
Nothing to complain about regarding the inserts. On the other hand, delivery time NOT respected for the 3rd time in a row.

As already indicated super fast delivery

Compatible and Package Reduction
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
5 / 5
Clear buy recommendation
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.

service life to be improved

Just right.
These blocks brake tightly and very evenly. So you have excellent control over your bike.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
It completely meets my expectations and Shimano inspires confidence with this item!
Blocks used during the Marmotte 2022. During the descent I could only focus on the road because the braking went with great confidence!
