FD426 Disc Brake Pads for Shimano XTR, Saint & Zee
The FD426 Disc Brake Pads are a robust replacement brake pad option designed for Shimano 4‑piston hydraulic disc brakes, including XTR BR‑M9120, Saint, and Zee calipers, as well as selected TRP and Tektro downhill brake systems. Engineered for high braking loads and consistent stopping power, FD426 pads are well suited to enduro, trail, downhill, and e‑MTB applications. They are regularly supplied and fitted by Brisbane bike shops during professional mountain bike brake servicing across Queensland.
Built to handle steep terrain, heavier bikes, and sustained braking, these pads deliver dependable performance where control and heat management matter most.
Designed for Modern 4‑Piston Disc Brake Systems
FD426 brake pads are manufactured to match the shape and braking surface requirements of high‑power 4‑piston calipers. This makes them ideal for riders using modern enduro bikes, downhill rigs, and trail bikes with aggressive braking demands.

Powerful and Controlled Braking Performance
The FD426 pad compound is designed to provide strong initial bite with excellent modulation, allowing riders to maintain control on steep descents and technical trail sections. The braking feel remains predictable under sustained loads, helping manage speed without abrupt lock‑up.
These characteristics make the pads suitable for Queensland trail networks, bike parks, and long alpine‑style descents where braking consistency is critical.
Built for Heat Management and Durability
4‑piston brake systems generate higher braking forces and heat. FD426 pads are engineered to withstand elevated temperatures while maintaining braking performance, helping reduce fade during extended descents and repeated heavy braking.
They are well suited to:
- Enduro racing
- Downhill riding
- Aggressive trail riding
- E‑MTB use
- Bike park sessions
Ideal for Professional Brake Servicing
Disc brake pads are a wear component and should be replaced regularly to maintain braking safety and rotor life. FD426 pads are commonly installed during:
- MTB brake overhauls
- Downhill and enduro service packages
- E‑bike brake upgrades
- Brake fade or noise troubleshooting
Professional bicycle service centres in Brisbane often recommend replacing pads before they reach minimum thickness to preserve rotor condition and braking reliability.
Straightforward Replacement and Bedding‑In
FD426 brake pads are manufactured to precise tolerances for their compatible calipers, allowing straightforward installation during routine servicing. Proper bedding‑in after installation ensures optimal bite, quiet operation, and long pad life.
For best results, installation and bedding‑in should be carried out by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
