Which Galfer compound is the right one?

The pad shape FD584 is available from us in four Galfer compounds. We have found the Galfer Pro to be effective for the front, and Galfer E-Bike for the rear.

• Performance (black): the durable all-rounder for trail and enduro
• Advanced (red): high reserves in wet and muddy conditions, very long durability
• E-Bike (purple): semi-metallic and ECE R90 certified, for E-MTBs and heavier riders

You can find more on the differences in our Brake Pad Buying Guide.

What's in the box

1 pair of pads for one caliper. For front and rear, order 2.

Disc due as well?

New pads only brake properly on a disc in good condition. Measure the disc when you change the pads: if it is below the minimum thickness, warped or deeply scored, it's best to replace it together with the pads. Matching Galfer discs:

• Shark: 6-bolt · Center Lock, one-piece, for enduro, downhill and e-MTB
• Shark EVO: 6-bolt · Center Lock, two-piece with aluminium carrier for even better cooling
• Wave Fixed 2.0 mm: 6-bolt · Center Lock, for e-MTBs, enduro and heavier riders
• Wave Fixed 1.8 mm: 6-bolt · Center Lock, the classic Wave in 1.8 mm, 160 to 203 mm

Compare all discs: Galfer brake discs. With 2.0 mm discs, check that your caliper has room for them.

Installation and replacement

• Always replace all pads in a brake caliper at the same time.
• Push the pistons back straight before insertion, preferably with a plastic lever – never use a screwdriver directly on the piston.
• Keep the disc and pads free of grease; Galfer Brake Cleaner is suitable for cleaning.
• Magura specifies 2.5 mm as the wear limit for the pad and backing plate combined.

Frequently asked questions

Do these pads fit the Magura MT7?

No, the MT7 uses individual pads of shape FD487. The Gustav Pro has its own unique pad shape.

Do I need to bed in the Galfer Pro pads?

According to Galfer, the Pro compound is ready to use without a bedding-in period. Nevertheless, perform a few stops on a flat, safe section before your first descent so that you are familiar with the braking feel.

How long does a Galfer Pro pad last?

This depends on the route, weather, and riding style. Pro wears out faster than the other Galfer compounds. If mileage is more important to you, choose Galfer Advanced, Galfer E-Bike, or Galfer Performance in the same shape.
