The Shimano Disc Brake Pad Set Metal L04C is designed for riders who demand powerful, consistent braking in all conditions. Featuring a metallic compound, these pads deliver strong bite and excellent durability, making them ideal for aggressive trail riding, enduro, e-MTB use, and long alpine descents. Compared to organic pads, metal pads typically handle heat better and maintain performance on long, steep braking sections, helping to reduce fade and keep your braking predictable when it matters most.
This pad set is built around Shimano’s proven finned backing plate design, which helps dissipate heat away from the braking surface. Better heat management can contribute to more stable braking performance and longer pad life, especially on heavy bikes or in demanding terrain. The L04C pads are a great choice for riders who frequently ride in wet, muddy, or gritty conditions, where durability and consistent braking are crucial. Whether you are upgrading worn pads or tuning your setup for tougher rides, this Shimano metal pad set offers reliable stopping power and confidence on every descent.
