A practical choice for riders replacing worn pads on a listed 2-piston hydraulic or compatible mechanical disc brake system who prioritise braking power and long service life.
The Shimano BP-G04S-MX is a metal disc brake pad for compatible narrow-type G braking systems. Its metal compound is chosen for high braking power and durability, making it well suited to demanding riding and repeated braking where dependable pad life matters.
This pad uses a stainless back plate and comes without a radiator fin. The metal lining offers strong performance and excellent durability, while the published performance ratings give it five stars for power, durability and anti-fading, plus four stars for modulation. Metal pads can be noisier than some alternatives, with a three-star silence rating.
The BP-G04S-MX is supplied as one pair with a spring and split pin. Compatibility covers selected 2-piston hydraulic disc brake calipers, as well as the C-653 mechanical disc brake system. Check your caliper model carefully before ordering; listed compatible models include BR-M9000, BR-M9020, BR-M987, BR-M985, BR-M8100, BR-M8000, BR-M785, BR-M7100, BR-M7000, BR-M6200, BR-M675, BR-M666, BR-M6100, BR-M6000, BR-M615, BR-MT600, BR-S7000, BR-S700, BR-CX77, BR-RS785, BR-R785, BR-R517, BR-R317 and BR-U8000.
