J04C Metal Pad And Spring With Fin

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use these when I need consistent braking on long descents. The metallic compound gives strong, reliable stopping power, and the cooling fins really help prevent fade when things heat up. They’re a great upgrade for aggressive riding."

We rely on the J04C Metal Pad And Spring With Fin for high-performance braking in demanding conditions where heat management and durability are critical. Shimano engineers these pads with a sintered metallic compound, delivering maximum stopping power and extended service life compared to organic alternatives, especially in wet, muddy, or abrasive environments.

The integrated radiator fin design plays a key role in dissipating heat generated during prolonged braking. By reducing heat buildup at the caliper, these fins help minimize brake fade and maintain consistent lever feel on extended descents or high-speed sections. This makes them particularly well-suited for aggressive trail riding, enduro, and long alpine descents.

A stainless steel and alloy composite backing plate ensures structural stability and secure pad retention under load, while the included spring and retaining clip simplify installation. Compatible with a wide range of Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems, these pads provide a reliable, high-output braking solution for riders prioritizing control, durability, and performance across varied terrain.
