Shimano B01S Compatible Metallic Brake Pads – Premium Copper for Enhanced Safety and Longevity
Whether you’re navigating daily city traffic, riding in the rain, or tackling long descents, you need reliable stopping power. Standard organic pads often wear out prematurely when you need them most. These high-performance metallic pads, featuring a premium copper compound and compatible with the Shimano B01S standard, are engineered for heavy-duty use—perfect for couriers, e-bikes, MTBs, and busy urban commuting.
Note: These are high-quality aftermarket brake pads compatible with the B01S format. The premium copper-based material offers significantly better performance and durability than standard budget alternatives with the same geometry.
Why choose these pads? (Key Benefits):
- ~3000 km lifespan — Lasts 2–3 times longer than standard organic pads; ideal for couriers and daily commuters.
- Premium sintered copper compound — Efficiently dissipates heat during repeated braking, preventing fade on long descents or heavy traffic.
- Consistent wet-weather performance — The metallic compound does not absorb moisture, ensuring reliable braking in rain and mud.
- Quiet operation — Specially formulated to eliminate the squealing common in low-quality metallic pads; requires a 50–100 km bedding-in period.
- Uniform rotor wear — Designed to protect your brake disc, extending the life of your entire braking system.
- Wide compatibility, easy installation — Fits a variety of Shimano and Tektro systems without the need for special tools or modifications.
Performance and Technical Details
Engineered from a sintered copper-based metallic compound, these pads excel under the high temperatures generated by prolonged braking—a clear advantage over organic (resin) pads that degrade quickly under stress. The B01S format is a industry standard: simply slide the pads into the caliper and secure them with the included retaining pin and spring. The friction surface is precision-machined for optimal contact with 160–180 mm rotors.
Verified compatibility with:
- Shimano: Deore LX T675, Deore T615, M525, M515, Alivio M4050, Nexave C601, Tourney TX805, and various non-series models.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these original Shimano pads?
No, these are high-quality aftermarket pads compatible with the Shimano B01S format. The premium copper compound provides performance comparable to or better than original organic pads at a more accessible price point.
Are these suitable for e-bikes?
Yes, they are highly recommended for e-bikes and intensive urban use. The metallic compound handles the heat generated by the extra weight and frequent braking of e-bikes much better than standard resin pads.
Will they squeal when braking?
Our premium metallic compound is formulated for quiet operation. A minor squeal may occur during the initial 50–100 km bedding-in period, after which it will disappear completely.
How do I check compatibility with my brakes?
Check the model number printed on your brake caliper and compare it to our list: Shimano T675, T615, M525, M515, M4050, C601, TX805 or Tektro Aquila, Auriga, Draco, Gemini, HD330, Orion. If your model is listed, these pads will fit directly.
How long do these pads last?
Approximately 3000 km under heavy-duty conditions such as daily courier work, e-bike riding, or mountain biking. For moderate recreational cycling, the lifespan can be significantly longer.
