Shimano Brake Pads - J04C

The Shimano J04C brake pads feature Ice Tech cooling fins that promote heat dissipation, fading resistance and brake performance consistency. Their metallic pad is on a light aluminium backing plate. J04C is compatible with XTR (up to M9000), XT, SLX and Deore 2-piston brakes as well as post mount Road disc brakes.

Features

• High-strength pad material
• Long life
• High braking power under extreme conditions
• Special design for sand and mud
• Cooling technology (cooling fins) increases the service life of the brake pad and reduces the risk of fading

Technology

Ice-Tech
Fading of the brake during prolonged uninterrupted operation, e.g. downhill, impairs braking performance. To counteract this, Shimano has introduced the brake rotor and brake pad with Ice-Tech technology. This cooling technology ensures consistent braking performance. The brake pads have cooling fins. The sandwich construction of the rotor in combination with the cooling fins results in a longer service life of the pads, less braking noise, less fading and a lower weight.
