GRAPHENpads Ceramic Disc Brake Pads – Shimano Disc 34
The GRAPHENpads Disc Brake Pads for Shimano – Disc 34 set a new performance baseline for hydraulic disc braking, combining graphene‑based materials, advanced cooling fins and a next‑generation ceramic organic compound. Designed for riders who demand consistent stopping power, longevity and low noise, these pads are a popular upgrade stocked by specialist bike shops in Brisbane and used across Queensland and Australia for road, gravel and MTB riding.
GRAPHENpads replace traditional copper content with modified graphene, delivering strong, predictable braking while reducing environmental impact. The result is confident control in all weather conditions, whether descending alpine roads, riding mixed‑surface gravel, or tackling technical trails.
Next‑Gen Materials for Cooler, Quieter Braking
At the core of these pads is a ceramic organic friction compound enhanced with graphene, paired with graphene‑coated backplatesand an advanced cooling fin design. This construction helps manage heat more efficiently under prolonged braking, reducing fade and maintaining lever feel on long descents.
By eliminating copper and heavy metals, GRAPHENpads achieve modern braking performance while aligning with evolving environmental standards—without compromising power.
Optimised for Shimano & Compatible Calipers
The Disc 34 pad shape is engineered for a wide range of Shimano hydraulic calipers, making it an easy, workshop‑friendly upgrade during routine brake servicing or performance tune‑ups. Fitment is precise, bedding‑in is straightforward, and modulation remains consistent across varying rotor sizes.
Lightweight, Durable & Built to Last
Each set weighs approximately 16 g per pad (plus a 1 g spring), keeping rotational weight low. According to manufacturer testing, a single set can average around 8,000 km in hilly, predominantly dry road conditions—making them a cost‑effective option for regular riders and racers alike.
