{"product_id":"ks-d625","title":"Organic Shimano Direct Mount Br-Rs505\/805 Disc Brake Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kool-Stop KS-D625 is a direct-mount disc brake pad replacement designed for Shimano's hydraulic road and gravel groupsets. Engineered for reliable stopping power across varying conditions, these pads are a practical upgrade or replacement choice for riders across India who depend on consistent braking whether they're descending the Western Ghats or navigating Pune's unpredictable traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Indian riders tackling steep descents around Lonavala, Ooty, or Coorg, brake pad quality is not a detail you overlook. The KS-D625 delivers consistent modulation across Shimano's popular hydraulic disc systems, and at a lightweight specification of approximately 15.5 grams per pair, it adds minimal rotating mass. The compound holds up well in wet monsoon conditions where fade and inconsistent bite are common complaints with budget alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrake pads are a universal fit item — sizing here refers to groupset compatibility rather than body dimensions. Confirm your Shimano groupset model before ordering. Riders running Ultegra, Dura-Ace, or GRX hydraulic disc systems across India's heat-affected roads will find this pad fits directly without adapter modifications. Check the compatibility list carefully if you run an older RS-series groupset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KS-D625 is compatible with Shimano Direct Mount systems including Dura-Ace BR-R9170, Ultegra BR-R8070, BR-R7070, BR-RS805, BR-RS505, BR-RS405, BR-RS305, GRX BR-RX810 and BR-RX400, and Cues U5000, M9100, and 4770 series. Clean rotor and caliper contact surfaces before installation.
