Pad Material Semi Metallic Ceramic One of each

EJ's Disk brake pads are designed and tested in Yorkshire by us so you can be assured that you are receiving a quality set of pads.

Compatible with Shimano G-Type and J-Type 2-piston calipers — engineered for riders who want high braking power with refined lever control and fade-free consistency on every descent.

EJ's Pro Semi-Metallic Pads combines a high content metallic compound with resin stabilisers to deliver strong stopping power with smoother modulation than full metallic pads. They are designed for aggressive trail, enduro, and e-MTB riding where heat management, control, and reliability matter most.

Benefits of Semi Metallic

semi-metallic brake pads offer a great all-around balance, combining the stopping power and durability of metallic pads with quieter operation and better rotor friendliness than full metals, performing well in wet/dry conditions with good modulation and faster warm-up than sintered pads, making them ideal for varied trail riding.

Key Benefits:

High metal content with resin stabilisers makes the pads suitable for use with ebikes
Balanced Performance: They mix organic materials with metal particles (steel, copper) to get the best of both worlds.
Better Wet/Dry Grip: Improved performance in wet, muddy conditions compared to organic pads, with good dry traction too.
Good Durability: More long-lasting than organic pads, handling longer descents better.
Quieter Than Sintered: Less noisy than full metallic pads, though not as silent as pure organic pads.
Rotor Friendly: Generally kinder on rotors than sintered pads, extending rotor life.
Quick Warm-Up: Reach optimal performance faster than sintered pads, reducing initial fade.
Good Modulation: Offer a predictable and controllable power delivery, less "on/off" than sintered pads.

Best For:

Riders wanting a versatile pad for varied trail conditions.
XC, Trail, and All-Mountain riding.
Those needing more durability and wet-weather grip than organic pads provide, but wanting less noise and rotor wear than full metallic pads
Suitable for use with ebikes

Benefits of Ceramic

MTB ceramic brake pads offer benefits like longer lifespan, consistent performance in heat and wet conditions, less rotor wear, quieter operation, and better modulation with less harsh initial bite, making them great for all-around trail riding, endurance, and heavy-duty braking, though they can be pricier and might need more bedding-in than organic pads.

Key Benefits

Extended Durability: Ceramic compounds are dense and durable, meaning they wear down slower than organic pads & semi-metallic pads, saving you money on replacements over time.
Heat Management: They handle high temperatures well, reducing brake fade on long descents, ensuring consistent stopping power.
Consistent Wet Performance: Ceramic materials are less affected by moisture, providing more reliable braking in rainy or muddy conditions.
Reduced Noise & Dust: Generally quieter and produce lighter-colored dust that's less noticeable and doesn't cake onto wheels as easily as metallic pads.
Better Modulation & Feel: Offers a smoother, more progressive lever feel with less harsh initial grab (bite), giving riders better control and confidence.
Rotor Friendly: Less abrasive on brake discs, leading to less rotor wear and longer disc life.

Best For:

Ceramic pads are ideal for riders seeking a blend of durability, all-weather reliability, and a smooth, controlled braking experience, excellent for endurance riding, demanding trails, and general mountain biking
Pro formula of ceramic materials mixed with metal fibers makes these pads suitable for ebike use
