Forbidden brake pad questions

Before you order.

Can the front and rear of a Forbidden bike use different pads?

Yes. Some builds use different calipers or pad shapes at the front and rear, so check both mappings on the exact bike card.

What if the brakes on my Forbidden bike have been changed?

Use the bike listing as a starting point, then search for the name printed on the caliper actually fitted and order for that confirmed pad shape.

Why must I check the fitted caliper?

Manufacturers can change specifications by market and previous owners can replace brakes. The marking on the fitted caliper is therefore the final check before ordering.

How do I find the right brake pads for my Forbidden bike?

Choose the exact model, build and displayed year, then check the marking on the front and rear calipers actually fitted.

Why does the result open a collection?

The verified collection shows the Gorilla Brakes compounds available for that pad shape, so you can choose the option suited to your riding.
