- Quiet and designed for precise braking power control
- Superior wear resistance: +50% vs L03A and +110% vs L02A
- Integrated cooling fin reduces fading and extends service life
- Compatible with 2-piston calipers and several Shimano models (BR-R9170, BR-R8070, BR-RS805)
Composition and material
Shimano L05A-RF pads are made from 5th-generation resin, a composite material optimised to deliver consistent friction, low noise and excellent wear resistance. The formulation provides progressive braking suited to road and cycle-touring use.
Performance and control
Designed to provide steady, easily modulable braking, these pads prioritise control of braking force rather than excessive bite, improving safety and comfort both on descents and in town.
Thermal dissipation and durability
The integrated cooling fin improves heat evacuation from the pads, limiting fading during prolonged efforts and contributing to increased component lifespan.
Compatibility and use
Narrow and suited to 2-piston calipers, these pads fit Shimano models BR-R9170, BR-R8070 and BR-RS805. Supplied as a pair, they are suitable for front and rear use on hydraulic braking systems using mineral oil.
Conditions of use
Designed for all-weather use, these resin pads deliver consistent performance in wet and dry conditions and are aimed at cycle-tourers and riders seeking a balance of longevity, quietness and control.
