Shimano L04C pads are metal disc brake pads with a cooling fin, for Shimano 2 piston road, gravel, and cross country calipers.

What it's for

Replacement pads when you want more braking power and durability than resin pads.

How it works

Metal pads: harder sintered compound for more braking power and durability, and longer life in wet and gritty conditions.

Radiator fin: aluminum fins on the back plate carry heat away from the pad. Shimano says this means longer pad life and less fade.
