The Galfer compounds
Which compound suits you?
- PerformanceAll-rounder for trail and enduro, best price.
- AdvancedFor wet and mud, very long-lasting.
- E-BikeSemi-metallic for e-MTBs, heavy riders and gravity, ECE R90 tested.
- ProRace compound: bites straight away, no bedding-in.
- RoadFor road and gravel.
Our recommendation: Pro at the front, E-Bike at the rear – plenty of braking power at a sensible price.
Frequently asked questions about Galfer pads
Which Galfer pad fits Shimano XT?
For the 4-piston callipers (BR-M8120, Saint, Zee) pad shape FD426, for the 2-piston callipers (BR-M8100) FD452. We stock both in several compounds.
How do I find out which pad shape I need?
Choose your brake in the finder. If your calliper isn’t listed: the Galfer number (e.g. FD426) is on the box of your old pads, or message us on WhatsApp.
What does FD426 or FD455 mean?
That is the Galfer pad shape, i.e. the backing plate. The letters after it (G1053, G1851, G1652, G1554T, G1455) are the compound: Performance, Advanced, E-Bike, Pro, Road.
Performance or Pro – what’s the difference?
Performance is the organic standard compound for almost everything. Pro is the race compound: more bite, no bedding-in, pricier. Advanced lasts longest in wet and mud.
Which pad for an e-bike or heavy riders?
Galfer E-Bike (purple backing plate): semi-metallic, stays consistent in heat and wet, lasts longer. For us it has proven itself at the rear.
Do Galfer pads also fit TRP, Tektro or Trickstuff?
Yes, many share the pad shape with Shimano or SRAM. The finder shows them with the note “same pad as …”.
How do I bed in new pads?
On a flat, safe stretch brake several times from medium speed down to walking pace, one brake at a time. Pro pads need no bedding-in.
Is one pair enough for one brake?
Yes, one pair = one calliper. For front and rear you need two pairs – in the finder choose “2 pairs” and you can pick different compounds front and rear.
Delivery time and shipping?
Galfer pads ship from our Swiss warehouse: ordered by 5 pm, with you tomorrow.
Disc due as well?
Galfer Wave and Shark discs in 160, 180, 203 and 223 mm – with matching pads as a set and a set discount. Changing size? The adapter finder tells you what you need.
