Shimano L05A-RF Resin Disc Brake Pads – Finned

Shimano L05A-RF Resin Disc Brake Pads – Finned

The Shimano L05A-RF Resin Disc Brake Pads with Fins are designed to deliver long lasting brake performance. Their 5th generation resin compound is 50% more durable than the previous generation and the radiator fins provide additional cooling capabilities. Shimano ICE technology prevents brake fade over long descents and heavy use. The updated brake pad compound is designed to be quieter while still providing powerful braking and capable modulation.

Each set includes two pads and pad spring.

Metallic vs. Resin Pad Compound

Shimano offers metallic and resin brake pad compounds for their brake pads. Their metallic compound has metallic particles fused together that allows them to be more powerful and perform in a greater amount of weather conditions. Resin brake pads however are quieter and offer better brake modulation. We recommend considering your riding style and environment when deciding which brake pad compound is best for you. If you live somewhere like the Pacific Northwest and ride long descents, we recommend the metallic compound. If you live in a drier climate and have rolling terrain, we recommend the resin compound.
