Shimano Brake Pads - L04C
Y8N398040
The Shimano L04C brake pads for flat mount Road disc brakes inspire with their enormously high braking performance in dry and wet conditions. This is due to the Ice-Tech design with cooling fins, which optimise heat dissipation and counteract fading. The durability, modulation and even the low noise level of this metallic brake pad on an aluminium backing plate are simply harmonious.
Features
- Consistently good function in wet and dry conditions
- Long life
- Cooling technology increases the service life of the brake pad and reduces the risk of fading
Technology
Ice-TechFading 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.
