Description of 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

Sintered metal brake pads handles high temperatures and resists brake fade so power lasts longer. Better in extreme conditions like mud, water and where there are gritty, sandy trail surfaces. Excellent power and durability,Resist fade better under heavier braking loads,Ideal for downhill. Metal disc brake pads that provide reliable braking power across wet and dry weather conditions. Higher friction braking than semi metallic and resin pads ,Superior stopping power in all weather conditions, and longer pad life.

Less responsive, more noisy than original Shimano pads

After using twice Shimano G01S Resin pads on my ebike in my Shimano Deore BR-M615 hydraulic breaks I bought a couple weeks ago these, as I couldn't find the original Shimano ones online and my bike store was out of them too. I'm quite disappointed in these Resin pads. They are much more noisy (Shimanos were pretty much silent) and I have lost much of the ability to finely modulate braking power. These pads seem to grab the break rotor pretty strongly and suddenly. I will wait a little longer to

Pros
  • The only fault is that they lack instructions to install.
Cons
  • Terrible product. Won't brake no matter what you do. Very low friction.

Consider paying the extra money and getting parts from Shimano

These did not seem to fit right - even though my brake model is clearly listed in the description. I should say that it did work in the end, but it was a hassle. I maintain four high end mountain bikes, and routinely replace pads. In the end, it's worth dropping the extra $ for OEM.

Pros
  • Easy installation, bike brake pads
Cons
  • These didn't fit so I'm going to have to buy Shimano pads. So much for being cheap.

Great for XTR M9000 calipers

Easy to install. Great modulation. Quiet. What's not to like? I went with these because Shimano pads were sold out everywhere. I would not hesitate to go with these pads in the future.

Pros
  • Even in the bad rain on the Butterfield the pads held up well.
Cons
  • These do not perform well for mountain biking. I’m almost unable to stop after short descents.

Not good quality on my review.

No stopping power when needed on long downhill rides if you are looking for quality pads these are not it needed to be replaced after two rides. I got the semi metallic

Pros
  • Perfect fit. Fast shipping
Cons
  • Some users have reported that the brake pads are stiff and require a lot of effort to engage, which can be tiring for cyclists.

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.

Not made for R515 R517

I wont recommend buying these pads for R515 and R517. Hole for safety pin not properly aligned for the OEM brakes.Had to order original OEM parts which were much better to install. Wasted my money on this order.

Pros
  • Worked well for a great price
Cons
  • Some users have reported issues with the installation process, which can be a hassle for those who are not familiar with bike maintenance.

Just as good as the Shimano original equipment.

Title says it all. I'm a big man (325 lbs) who needs lots of stopping power. These do the job quite well and have smoother modulation than the stock pads in my Deore XT brakes.

Pros
  • buena compra, envío rápido
Cons
  • The pad part broke off the backing after during my 3rd ride with them.I guess you get what you pay for.
