Didn't fit my Lectric XP 3.0 but that isn't corkis fault. They will fit if you grind them down a little. Great stopping power and very quiet. I highly recommend the blue pads for longevity and performance. Corki is telling the truth when they described the performance. I expect these pads to last anywhere from 2k to even 4k miles. Review: Great quality, performance, and value! Plus Corki are great to deal with! - Updated 3/30/2023 for Sintered Metal version The new compound is fantastic! There were minor things on the Copper-Based that were easy to live with for the performance. First, the brake material was thinner and backing plate was thicker than OEM. Overall they were under 4mm total. You got less mileage. Also, the Copper-Based did take their toll on rotors. My rear stock TR-24 (180-24) rotor lasted just over 2,000 miles before it was approaching the 1.5mm replacement point (1.55mm at thinnest point). The Sintered Metal have more braking material, a backing plate closer to OEM, and an overall thickness just the tiniest bit over 4mm. Significantly more mileage (over 900 versus 500-600) with all the things we loved about the Copper-Based. The edges do seem a little more brittle, so go easy on wheel changes! Still, I have to say the Sintered Metal are my choice now for this pad form factor. Full disclosure: I was provided a set (4 pads) of Sintered by Corki when I inquired about the compound change. I have since purchased a set (4 pads) as well. Original review of Copper-Based: Purchased the Copper-Based pads to replace A10.11 OEM pads for hyraulic Tektro HD-E 350s on an Ariel Rider Kepler ebike. I had used 0.2mm of the original pads and had enough of their turkey gobbler call when heated up. These Corki Copper-Based pads perform superbly. No more fade and odd sounds by heat buildup. They bring my 26" x 4" wheels, on 90lbs of bike with super grippy slicks, and 225lbs of me, to a quick, controlled stop from 32mph. Whisper quiet stopping with no fade. Do not wait to replace cheap OEM pads. Put these in now! ## Features - 𝐃𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 - The Corki Cycles disc brake pads are built to improve the power of your braking and ensure a longer life than other brake pads. It is inevitable that you will need to replace your pair of brake pads, but before you do so you want plenty of use. A pair of disc brake pads need to be durable, wear-resistant, and long-lasting. At Corki Cycles we know there is a science to disc brake pads. - 𝐎𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 - When choosing new or replacement disc brake pads, the sizing/compatibility and material are most important. The brake pad material affects the use, wear, and life of the brake pads. At Corki Cycles we offer 4 different materials to match the different styles of riding. - 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 - Choose a resin/organic pad for casual riding, a semi-metallic pair of disc brake pads for more frequent use, and multi-metallic/sintered or copper brake pads for more aggressive riding. Multi-metallic/sintered or copper disc brake pads are perfect for more aggressive riding like downhill. - 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 - When you're driving your car you want responsive and quick-reacting brakes. The same applies to your bicycle. The Corki Cycles disc brake pads are the perfect thickness for greater longevity and wear resistance. Yet for those needing split reaction breaking and greater responsiveness on the trails our disc brake pads perform every time. - 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 - Before ordering check your current brake pads for compatibility, or check online to match the brand and make with the correct pads before buying. The Corki Cycles disc brake pad pair is compatible with: TRP Tektro, Shimano Deore Br-M575, M525, M515, T615, T675, M505, M495, M486, M485, M475, M465, M447, M446, M445, M416, M415, M395, M375, M315, M355, C601, and C501. - 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 - To install firstly remove your front and rear wheel. Remove the old, worn brake pads from the front and rear calipers. Check your pistons and do an overall caliper health check first. Check the quality of the brake cable or hydraulic hose before installing the new disc brake pads. Using a flat tool push the pistons back ready to install the new pads. - 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 -Insert the new brake pads correctly and secure them inside the caliper with the spring and pin. Re-attach your wheel and check the disc rotor positioning. Make sure there is no friction with the new brake pads when the brakes are not in use. If there is some friction or the disc rotor is hard to move you may need to file the pads very slightly. Alternatively, you can wait after a few rides for this to wear down. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DMWGDYX | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,639 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #6 in Bike Brake Pads | | Brand Name | corki | | Color | Semi-Metalli Brake Pads | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,487) | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1.2"L x 0.15"W x 1.37"H | | Manufacturer | corki | | Manufacturer Part Number | DP-B01S | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Model Number | DP-B01S | | Number of Pieces | 4 | | UPC | 191869648271 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** corki - **Color:** Semi-Metalli Brake Pads - **Material:** Ceramic - **Number of Pieces:** 4 - **Product Dimensions:** 1.2"L x 0.15"W x 1.37"H ## Images ![Semi-Metallic Pads - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Dy6JnY+AL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this fit shimano m355? its listed in the item title, but not in the description...** A: Yes **Q: which composition has the most overall power?** A: That all depends on numerous factors. What weather do you ride in (wet or dry)? what brakes do you use? What is the size of your rotors? How heavy are you and your bike together? What type of bike are you going to use them on? Do you like sensitive or brakes with lots of modulation? Do you want brakes that will last a long time or have to replace more often? How sensitive are you to the noise your brakes make (pad compound can effect their noise)? Do a search on YouTube for brake compounds to see the differences. **Q: What is multi metallic ?** A: Has some metal in it to stop better. These stop well and are quiet **Q: Will these fit a himiway e-bike? 2020 model** A: Also have a RadRunner Ebike and it works perfectly better than the tektro pads that came with the ebike. I use the copper base pads which are very durable a pad can last a month or more ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Pads, Super great value, A+ performance *by F***D on November 24, 2025* A+ pads.

Not expensive, fast delivery and fit my Shimano hydraulic brakes perfectly. They worked great on the trail after installing. No squealing. Good feel. My only knock on them is that the included cotter pin is a little bit too short. I had to reuse the old one. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2 Pairs Brake Pads for TRP Tektro Shimano Deore Br-M575 M525 M515 T615 T675 M505 M495 M486 M485 M475 M465 M447 M446 M445 M416 M415 M395 M375 M315 M355 C601 C501(Resin,Semi-Metallic,Sintered Metal) - Teyssor 140mm 160mm 180mm 203mm Bike Disc Brake Rotor with 6 Bolts Fit for Road Bike Mountain Bike BMX MTB - AGPTEK Bike Brake Pads, High-Performance Brake Pads, Disc Brake Pads & Spring (Semi-Metallic&Resin) for Mountain Bike Disc Brakes,Bike Pads Compatible with TRP Tektro Shimano Deore Br --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/80597710-semi-metallic-pads](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/80597710-semi-metallic-pads) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
