The Shimano XTR/XT (J04C) Metallic Disc Brake Pads are built for riders who demand consistent and powerful braking in tough conditions. Designed to work with Shimano XTR and XT brake systems, these pads use a durable steel backing plate and feature Shimano’s signature aluminum cooling fins, which help dissipate heat during sustained braking. This cooling technology helps reduce the risk of brake fade on long descents, keeping your braking performance sharp and reliable no matter how intense the ride gets.

These pads use a metallic compound that offers excellent performance in high-heat situations, making them perfect for extended downhill runs, aggressive trail riding, or any scenario where frequent heavy braking is required. Compared to organic pads, metallic versions tend to last longer and perform better when things heat up. They do create a bit more noise and may offer slightly less initial bite, but the trade-off is longer lifespan and more consistent performance under pressure.

Each set includes everything you need to service one caliper: two metallic brake pads, a spring, and a retaining clip. Installation is straightforward, so you can get back on the trail quickly with renewed braking confidence. These pads are a solid choice for anyone looking to increase durability and fade resistance in their braking setup, especially if you ride steep or technical terrain regularly.

If you're after long-lasting performance and solid stopping power in extreme conditions, the Shimano XTR/XT (J04C) Metallic Disc Brake Pads are ready to deliver. With improved heat management, durable construction, and proven reliability, they’re built to keep your ride controlled and consistent when it matters most.
