Shimano D02S-MX Disc Brake Pad and Spring - Metal Compound | Stainless Steel

Why Choose the Shimano D02S-MX Metal Disc Brake Pad?

The Shimano D02S-MX is the metal compound replacement pad for Shimano's 4-piston MTB hydraulic disc brake calipers spanning multiple generations, from the current XTR BR-M9120 and XT BR-M8120 down through older XT, SLX, and CUES platform calipers. Metal compound pads trade some initial bite and noise tolerance for substantially more braking power and durability in wet, muddy, or sustained high-demand conditions where resin pads fade or wear prematurely. The finless design keeps the pad compact in tight caliper clearances while the stainless steel back plate provides rigid, corrosion-resistant support through the full range of MTB conditions these calipers are designed for.

The narrow type D pad shape fits 4-piston Shimano hydraulic calipers across a broad compatibility range: BR-M8120 (Deore XT), BR-M7120 (SLX), BR-M6120 (Deore), BR-M8020, BR-M820, BR-M810, BR-M640, BR-MT520, BR-MT420, and BR-U8020. Metal pads require proper bedding in before use and work best paired with Shimano ICE TECHNOLOGIES rotors in sustained braking applications. Each package includes one pair of pads with spring. For 4-piston Shimano MTB riders who need the maximum power and wear resistance that metal compound provides, the D02S-MX is the OEM answer.
