Review on 2 Pairs Shimano XT BR-M8000 M785 XTR M9000 M9020 M987 M988 M985 SLX M7000 Brake Pad Set - Resin, Semi-Metallic, Sintered Metal For Deore R785 RS785 CX75 R515 R315 R317 R517 Alfine S700 by James Womble

Not cutting it, would not purchase again.

I am a no pro but pushing material once in a while so break pads very important. Not the same breaking power as Shimano originals. Heat up much faster. Quite poor performance, disappointing if not dangerous on a long DH.

Pros
  • Good price and quality
Cons
  • The sintered metal brake pads can produce an unpleasant smell during prolonged use, which can be uncomfortable for the rider.
