Both D02S & D03S brake pads offer improved braking performance that can make your cycling life even better. Various models and series of Shimano disc brake pads exist in the market from the beginning to the present time. Based on that, at this stage of today’s article, a deep discussion will be made regarding Shimano disc brake pad compatibility. Shimano Series L04C and L03A brake pads are designed for use with Shimano’s Dura-Ace, Ultegra-level brakes, Tiagra-level brakes, and aluminum or carbon rims.

We often get asked which replacement brake pad to get. We have created this guide to help you identify your brake pad type. Among the models in this series you will find L04C & L03A. The Shimano BR-R9170,BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-4770, BR-RSB05,BR-RS5O5, BR-RS405, BR-RS305, BR-U500, BR-RX810, BR-RX400 brakes can all use Shimano’s L04C and L03A brake pad types. BR-C501, BR-M575, BR-M525, BR-M495, BR-M486, BR-M485, BR-M475, BR-M465, BR-M447, BR-M446, BR-M445, BR-M416, BR-M416A, BR-M415, BR-NI4050, BR-M3050, BR-M395, BR-M375, BR-M365, BR-M355, BR-M315, BR-T675, BR-T615,BR-TX805, BR-MT500, BR-MT400, BR-MT200, BR-UR300 BR-R9170, BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-4770, BR-RSB05, BR-RS5O5, BR-RS405, BR-RS305, BR-U500, BR-RX810, BR-RX400The Shimano B01S is one of the most common brake pads used in the industry. Almost every bicycle repair shop will have B01S. This pad is used on at least 45 different brake systems spanning across many different brands. It is used on hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes. Compatibility has increased due to the similarity between the above models in material, BR type, shape, work process & braking performance.

BR-M9100, BR-R9170, BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-4770, BR-RSB05, BR-RS5O5, BR-RS405, BR-RS305, BR-U5000, BR-RX810, BR-RX400 models are compatible with the above models. Most are considered reciprocal In this case. M04 pads are perfect for use with Shimano mechanical disc brakes. This brake pad is made with resin compound for improved modulation and quieter operation.BR-M975, BR-M966, BR-M965, BR-M800, BR-M775, BR-M765, BR-M665, BR-M601, BR-IM596, BR-M595, BR-M585, BR-M545, BR-M535, BR-R505, BR-S501, BR-S500,

There are two fundamental ways to move the brake pads. Mechanical disc brakes use a cable wire to push one pad toward the rotor. This cable wire can stretch resulting in inconsistent performance. Hydraulic disc brakes use a non-compressible fluid to push both pads towards the rotor the result is improved braking power and modulation. Braking performance is critical for the faster class 3 e-bikes. The disadvantage is that Hydraulic disc brakes systems are several times more expensive than mechanical disc brakes. However the actual brake pads are about the same cost. This B01S brake pad is compatible with (BR-C501, BR-M575, BR-M525, BR-M495, BR-M486, BR-M485, BR-M475, BR-M446, BR-M445, BR-M416, BR -M416A, BR-M415,BR-NI4050,BR-M3050,BR-M395, BR-M375, BR-M365, BR-M465, BR-M447, BR-M355,BR-M315, BR-T675, BR-T615 , BR-TX805,BR-MT500,BR-MT400,BR-MT200, BR-UR300).

The M03 pads are applicable for Shimano hydraulic disc brakes. It features a sintered metal construction for improved durability and braking performance in any type of condition. And you will find all these things in BR-M8020, BR-M820, and BR-M640 models as well. That’s why these models are considered compatibility models of Shimano H03C and H03A brake pads. These brakes are perfectly compatible with BR-M8120, BR-M7120, BR-M8020, BR-M820, BR-M810, BR-MI640, BR-MT520, BR-MTA20 models.Look at their compatibility models, you will see BR-M9000, BR-M9020, BR-M987, BR-M985, BR-M8100, BR-M8000, BR-M785, BR-M7100, BR-M7000, BR-M675, BR -M666, BR-M6000, BR-M615, BR-S7000, BR-S700, BR-CX77,BR-RS785, BR-R785,BR-R517, BR-R317.
