GBrakes Semi-Metallic Compound
Factory pads are fine for casual rides, but they buckle when you need real stopping power on the street or trail. GBrakes® Semi-Metallic Pads are built for riders who want reliable performance without spending a fortune, blending strong bite with everyday durability. Our NUCAP NRS™ tech uses steel hooks to lock the friction material to the backing plate, ditching glue for a one-piece bond that won’t lift or separate, even after countless hard stops. Crafted in an ISO 9001, 14001, and IATF-certified facility, these pads deliver the control you need to ride with confidence.
The semi-metallic compound strikes a perfect balance, sharp initial grip, long pad life, and a copper- and nickel-free formula that’s better for the planet. Whether you’re commuting through the city, cruising on a VTWIN, or hitting light off-road trails, these pads keep your lever feel firm and your stops vibration-free. GBrakes® Semi-Metallic Pads are for riders who demand more than stock, without the premium price tag, delivering performance that feels custom-built for your bike.
