L04c-rf Metal DISC Brake Pad

India's roads demand brakes you can trust — from sudden stops in Delhi traffic to long descents through the Western Ghats. The Shimano L04C-RF Metal Disc Brake Pad is a sintered metallic compound pad engineered for consistent stopping power, reliable heat management, and fade-resistant performance across the varied conditions Indian cyclists face year-round. Cobbled Climbs is the authorised retailer for Form in India.

Use Cases

Daily training. Reliable use across Indian training conditions — heat, humidity, and rough tarmac.

Race day. Performance-grade construction for competitive efforts.

Long rides. Built for full-day rides across Western Ghats, Sahyadri, or Nilgiri climbs.

Our Take

Metallic sintered pads earn their place on Indian rides. Whether you're hauling down a Lonavala descent in monsoon drizzle or scrubbing speed on the switchbacks above Ooty, the L04C-RF delivers firm, modulated braking without the fade that plagues organic compounds in wet or sustained heat. At Rs. 1,890, this is a straightforward maintenance upgrade that meaningfully improves rider confidence on every descent.

Sizing for Indian Riders

This is a pad replacement, not a sizing choice — but compatibility matters. Confirm your caliper accepts the L04C-RF form factor before ordering. Shimano's mineral-oil hydraulic systems are what these pads are designed for. In India's 35°C+ summers, sintered metallic compounds handle heat far better than resin pads, making them the preferred choice for Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai riders who train through summer months.

Compatibility Notes

Designed for specific Shimano hydraulic disc brake calipers — verify your caliper model accepts the L04C-RF pad format. These are metallic sintered pads; use only with compatible steel or stainless rotors. Do not mix pad compounds within a brake system. Shimano hydraulic systems require mineral oil — never use DOT fluid. Replace pads as a pair per axle.

Pairs Well With

Complete your brake service with a compatible Shimano disc rotor (matching your fork and frame's rotor size), Shimano mineral oil for a fresh bleed, a quality torque wrench for caliper bolts, and a bleed kit if you service brakes at home. Browse all categories at Cobbled Climbs.
