Improve your braking with Shimano K05S-RX brake pads (reference EBPK05SRXA), designed to offer an excellent compromise between power, silence and comfort. Suitable for road, gravel and mountain bikes, these 5th generation resin brake pads guarantee progressive, controlled braking, ideal for cyclists looking for precision and safety.
Their organic compound ensures optimum modulation and quiet operation, even in varying conditions. Thanks to a significant improvement in wear resistance compared with previous generations (+50% vs K03S), they offer a longer service life while maintaining a smooth, pleasant brake feel.
With no cooling fins, they are lightweight and perfectly suited to all-round use, particularly on roads and hilly terrain. Their compact "K"-type format is designed for 2-piston calipers Shimano, ensuring extensive compatibility with a wide range of groupsets (Ultegra, 105, GRX, XT, XTR...).

Resin pads are quieter and have a better feel, but wear out more quickly and are less resistant to high temperatures than metal models.
Are they suitable for mountain use?
They are suitable, but for long, technical descents, metal pads or pads with fins may be more suitable.
Do the pads need honing?
Yes, honing is recommended for optimum braking and to extend their life.
