Shimano B05S-RX organic MTB brake pads - EBPB05SRXA

Shimano B05S-RX disc brake pads are original and compatible with Shimano MTB calipers.

Don't be fooled by its price, this model of Shimano B05S brake pads provides powerful braking thanks to its organic lining, while being less noisy than its metallic counterparts.

In its constant quest for quality, Shimano has further improved the performance of the B05S version in terms of braking power, wear resistance and noise reduction.

Suitable for all types of riding, from cross-country to enduro.

We recommend that you break in your brake pads by performing several very short braking operations until you are satisfied with the results. This phase is vital and determines the durability and braking quality throughout the life of your pads.

Shimano B05S brake pads strengths:

• Progressive braking: helps limit lock-up during emergency braking

Questions/Answers

What brakes are Shimano B05S brake pads compatible with?

B05S pads are compatible with many Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, including the Deore, Alivio, Acera, Altus series and several MT models. Always check the part number on your caliper to confirm compatibility.

What is the difference between the Shimano B05S and the old B03S?

The B05S replaces the B03S. They offer improved service life and better heat resistance, while retaining the same braking power and compatibility with the same calipers.

What type of material is used?

Shimano B05S are resin brake pads. They provide progressive, silent, high-performance braking, especially in dry weather. They wear more quickly than metal pads, but protect the disc better.

Do I need to break them in before use?

Yes, for optimum braking performance, you should run them in gradually: ten or so moderate brake applications will stabilise the resin on the disc and give you maximum power without noise.

When should I replace my Shimano B05S brake pads?

Replace your pads when the lining reaches less than 0.5 mm or when braking becomes noisy or less powerful. Check them regularly, especially after wet or muddy rides.

Why choose Shimano B05S pads rather than a compatible model?

Original B05S pads from Shimano guarantee optimum build quality, perfect fit and braking consistency. Compatible models are sometimes less expensive, but often offer less service life and progressiveness.
