Shimano L05A-RF (Resin)
$45.00 CAD
Stay Cool, Stay Silent.
Upgrade your stopping power and eliminate the noise. The Shimano L05A-RF is the definitive choice for modern road and gravel hydraulic disc systems. Featuring Shimano’s 5th-generation resin compound, these pads offer a massive 50% increase in wear resistance over the previous L03A model, ensuring you spend more time on the road and less time in the workshop.
Why They Are the Industry Standard:
-
Ice-Technologies Cooling Fins: The integrated aluminum radiator fins pull heat away from the braking surface and out into the airflow. This prevents "brake fade" on long, technical descents and keeps your braking performance consistent from top to bottom.
-
Superior Modulation: The resin (organic) compound is famous for its "progressive" feel. It offers smooth, quiet braking with incredible modulation, giving you total control over your speed without the "on/off" grabby feel of metallic pads.
-
Quiet Operation: Tired of the "screech" in dry or damp conditions? These resin pads are engineered to be the quietest in the Shimano lineup, providing silent performance that won't disturb the peace of your ride.
-
Alloy Backing Plate: The lightweight aluminum backplate further assists in heat dissipation while keeping the overall weight of your build down.
Technical Specs:
-
Compound: Resin (5th Generation)
-
Backplate: Aluminum with Cooling Fins
-
Compatibility: Fits almost all Shimano Flat-Mount road and gravel calipers (Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, Tiagra, and GRX).
-
Interchangeability: Can be used as a high-performance upgrade for bikes currently using finless "K-Type" pads.
The Alegro Service Note: We consider these "essential equipment" for any FiftyOne Sika or high-performance disc build. For the best performance and silence, we always recommend pairing these with fresh RT-CL800 rotors.
Quiet. Cool. Confident. Reset your braking performance with the L05A-RF.
