Shimano H03A-RF Disc Brake Pads

Shimano H03A-RF Brake Pads for XT, Saint and ZEE – Resin Pads with Ice-Tech Cooling Fins

Shimano H03A-RF are high-performance resin brake pads featuring a lightweight aluminium backing plate and integrated Ice-Tech cooling fins, designed for 4-piston disc brakes such as XT BR-M8020, Saint BR-M820 and ZEE BR-M640. The cooling fins provide efficient heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade and extending pad life. These pads deliver outstanding braking control, excellent modulation, and extremely quiet operation.

Thanks to a revised resin compound, the H03A-RF pads offer 40% higher wear resistance compared to previous models. They perform reliably in both dry and wet conditions and are perfectly suitable for use on e-bikes.
