Shimano G05A-RX Brake Pads for XTR, XT, SLX and Alfine – Increased wear resistance

The Shimano brake pads G05A-RX have an organic lining on a lightweight aluminium backing plate without cooling fins. They are suitable for older XTR brakes, for XT, SLX, Deore, Alfine and for a range of groupless 2-piston disc brakes. Compared to the G03A model, the service life has been extended by approx. 40 %. As usual for resin pads, low noise and dosing are excellent. The braking power is above average – with optimal thermal insulation. Thus, the G05A-RX perform reliably in both dry and wet conditions.
