The Shimano L04C Metal Disc Brake Pads are high-performance replacement pads engineered for riders who demand strong, consistent stopping power and durability across varied riding conditions. Designed as a metal-based compound, these pads deliver excellent heat resistance, long life, and stable friction — making them well-suited for aggressive riding, frequent braking, or heavy loads on road, gravel, and mountain bikes.

Shimano’s metal compound formulation provides robust braking performance with confident modulation and reduced wear over time. Compared to resin or organic pads, the L04C’s metal design excels in dissipating heat and maintaining stopping power through repeated braking events, helping minimize fade on long descents or during sustained braking. This makes them a smart choice for riders who push their bikes hard or encounter variable terrain and conditions.

Installation is straightforward, as the brake pads are compatible with a wide range of Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems that accept the L04C pad shape. The durable backing plate and bonded friction material withstand rigorous use, while consistent performance helps promote confidence and control when slowing down or stopping quickly.... Read More
