Shimano BP L05A-RF Resin Brake Pads w/Fins (Pair)

Shimano L05A-RF Resin Brake Pads With Cooling Fins

Upgrade your braking performance with the Shimano L05A-RF resin pads. Designed for 2-piston flat-mount disc brakes, these pads deliver reliable stopping power in all conditions, whether you’re riding in dry heat or through wet roads. They’re quieter than metal pads, offer excellent modulation, and are more durable than their predecessors.

Key Benefits:

• Fade-resistant and durable – Shimano estimates these resin pads are about 40% longer-lasting than the L03A model.
• Quiet and smooth – Resin compound reduces noise and provides consistent braking feel.
• Better heat management – The built-in fin cooling technology acts like a tiny radiator, helping keep the pads cooler during long descents and heavy braking.
• All-weather performance – Engineered to work in dry and wet conditions with strong modulation.
• Lightweight – Each pad weighs roughly 17g, adding minimal weight to your setup.

• Dura-Ace: BR-R9170
• Ultegra: BR-R8070, BR-RS805
• 105: BR-R7070, BR-RS505

Why Choose These Pads?
If you want reliable braking without noise and improved longevity compared to standard resin pads, the L05A-RF is an excellent choice. The fins not only help manage heat but also extend pad life, making them ideal for long rides, technical descents, and all-season use.
