How do I find the correct brake pads for my bike?

Search for your bike brand, model and year. Gorilla Brain will show the verified front and rear brakes and link you to the matching Gorilla Brakes collection, where you can choose your compound.

Should I search by bike or by brake model?

Search by bike when you know the exact model and year. If you can read the brake name or caliper code on the bike, searching by brake is the most direct route.

What should I do if my bike is not listed?

Try searching by the brake model first. If there is still no match, send the bike details using the request form and we will check the fitted caliper before adding it to the database.

Can the front and rear brakes use different pads?

Yes. Some bikes use different front and rear calipers. Gorilla Brain shows each end separately whenever the verified specification uses a mixed brake setup.

Are the brake-pad fitments verified?

Fitments are matched to published manufacturer specifications and mapped only to Gorilla Brakes collections. Always check the model or code printed on your fitted caliper before ordering, because bike specifications can change.

How do I choose the best brake-pad compound?

Open the recommended Gorilla Brakes collection to see the compounds currently available for your brake. Choose according to your riding, conditions and performance priorities, or use the compound advisor for a guided recommendation.

Does the finder recommend other brake-pad brands?

No. Every shopping result links only to a Gorilla Brakes collection, so you can compare the Gorilla compounds available for the correct pad shape.

How often is the bike and brake database updated?

The database is expanded as new bikes and brake systems are source-checked. New fitments are published only after the exact caliper and Gorilla Brakes collection match have been confirmed.

Santa Cruz V10 brake pad questions

Before you order.

Which brake pads fit a Santa Cruz V10?

The correct pad depends on the exact V10 build and model year. Select the complete bike above and confirm the marking printed on the fitted caliper before ordering.

Do all Santa Cruz V10 models use the same brake pads?

No. Santa Cruz specifications vary by build, year and market, and the front and rear brakes can also differ. Gorilla Brain keeps each source-confirmed build separate.

Why does the result open a collection rather than one product?

The verified collection contains the Gorilla Brakes compounds available for that pad shape, allowing you to choose the compound that suits your riding and conditions.

Need help checking your V10?

Send us the model, year and a photo of the caliper.
