Shimano K04S are metal disc brake pads designed for compatible Shimano two-piston road, gravel and mountain bike brake calipers.
Key Features
Construction and Design
The pads use a narrow K-type shape with stainless-steel backing plates. Their compact construction does not include external cooling fins and is designed for calipers using the Shimano K-type pad format.
The package contains one pair of brake pads, a return spring and a split retaining pin. The set is sufficient for servicing one brake caliper.
Main Functions
The metal friction compound provides strong braking power and high resistance to wear. It maintains consistent performance at elevated temperatures, making the pads suitable for long descents and frequent braking.
Compared with resin pads, metal pads generally last longer in wet and muddy conditions. They may produce more braking noise and cause increased rotor wear.
Use and Compatibility
K04S pads are intended for compatible Shimano two-piston brake calipers, including selected Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, Tiagra, GRX, XTR and Deore XT models. Compatible calipers include BR-R9270, BR-R8170, BR-R7170, BR-R9170, BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-RX820, BR-RX810, BR-RX410, BR-RX400, BR-M9200, BR-M9100, BR-M9110 and BR-M8110.
The exact model number marked on the brake caliper should be checked before purchase. The brake rotor must also be approved for use with metal pads.
Additional Features
Stainless-steel backing plates resist corrosion and high braking temperatures. The metal compound is particularly suitable for mountainous routes, wet weather and riding conditions where the brakes are used repeatedly.
New pads should be properly bedded in using a series of smooth, controlled stops. This helps develop the intended braking power and transfers an even layer of pad material onto the rotor surface.
Summary
Shimano K04S brake pads are intended for cyclists who need strong braking performance, long service life and consistent operation in demanding conditions. Their metal compound, stainless-steel backing plates and included spring and retaining pin make them suitable for intensively used road, gravel and MTB braking systems.
