Is the Shimano M06-MX the Right Metal Pad for Your Older Disc Brake?

The Shimano M06-MX is the metal compound replacement pad for a wide range of older Shimano hydraulic disc brake calipers, covering XTR M970-era through mid-generation XT, SLX, and road disc systems. Metal compound construction delivers more braking power and significantly longer pad life than resin in wet or sustained braking conditions, making the M06-MX the correct pad for riders who need maximum reliability from aging but well-maintained Shimano disc brake hardware. The finless design keeps the pad profile compact across the older caliper formats it serves.

Compatible calipers include BR-M975, BR-M966, BR-M965, BR-M800, BR-M776, BR-M775, BR-M765, BR-M665, BR-M601, BR-M596, BR-M595, BR-M585, BR-M545, BR-M535, BR-R505, BR-T665, and BR-T605 -- spanning multiple generations of Shimano MTB, trekking, and early road disc hydraulic systems. Metal pads require proper bedding before use and perform best with clean, true rotors. Each package includes one pair of pads with spring. If you are running any of these older Shimano hydraulic calipers and want the durability and power of metal compound, the M06-MX is the OEM specification pad.

FAQ

Does the M06-MX fit current Shimano calipers like XT M8100 or Deore M6100?

No. The M06-MX is designed for older-generation Shimano disc brake calipers. Current-generation calipers like BR-M8100 or BR-M6100 use different pad families. Always verify your specific caliper model number against the compatibility list before ordering.

How should I bed in metal disc brake pads?

Bedding in metal pads requires multiple controlled stops from moderate speed, gradually building up heat and pressure. Shimano recommends following their bedding procedure in the technical documentation for your caliper. Skipping bedding in will result in reduced initial braking performance.

Does this pad include a spring?

Yes. Each package includes one pair of M06-MX pads with the retaining spring included.

Best For

Riders maintaining older Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems from the XTR M970 through mid-generation XT and SLX who need a reliable metal compound pad with maximum durability for trail, enduro, or trekking applications.
