Quiet operation. Built for real riding. The Gorilla Brakes Carbon Compound is a carbon-reinforced resin brake pad designed for Shimano 2-piston flat-mount systems. It combines a proven organic base with a carbon matrix to deliver smooth modulation, low noise, and improved heat stability without pushing into premium price territory. Why Choose Carbon Over Standard Resin? Standard budget resin pads work well at low temperatures, but once heat builds, performance can drop off quickly. Our Carbon Compound is built to stay more consistent when things get harder, giving road and gravel riders better control on fast sections, longer descents, and repeated braking zones. More stable friction under heat Less fade than standard resin pads Smooth, progressive braking feel Very quiet when bedded in and set up correctly Rotor-friendly compound for everyday riding Key Performance Features Quiet Braking: Engineered to minimise vibration and squeal. One of our quietest compounds when the brake system is correctly set up. Superior Modulation: Smooth, progressive braking for riders who prefer controlled speed management rather than aggressive on/off bite. Carbon-Reinforced Stability: Helps maintain consistent braking feel as temperatures rise, reducing fade compared with standard resin pads. Nickel-Plated Backing Plate: Corrosion-resistant with a clean premium finish, helping protect the pad backing from rust. Rotor Friendly: Softer carbon-resin interface helps reduce rotor wear and beds in quickly. E-Bike Compatible: Suitable for modern e-road and e-gravel bikes where extra system weight increases braking demand.

Shimano Dura-Ace: BR-R9270, BR-R9170 Shimano Ultegra: BR-R8170, BR-R8070 Shimano 105: BR-R7170, BR-R7070, BR-RS505, BR-RS805 Shimano Tiagra: BR-4770, BR-RS405 Shimano GRX: BR-RX810, BR-RX600, BR-RX400 Shimano Flat Mount MTB: BR-M9110, BR-M8110, BR-M7110 Other Shimano Systems: Metrea BR-U5000, RS305, RS405 Things to Note Designed mainly for road, gravel, commuting, and mixed-condition riding Best performance comes after a proper bedding-in process Wet performance is lower than our sintered or Enduro Pro compounds For heavy mud, alpine descents, downhill, or full-power e-MTB use, choose Sintered or Enduro Pro instead Brake noise is usually linked to setup, rotor condition, piston balance, contamination, or bedding-in rather than the pad alone
