What Makes the Shimano M70R2 Severe V-Brake Pad Stand Out?

The Shimano M70R2 Severe Condition V-Brake Pad is a cartridge-type insert engineered for high-demand MTB, trekking, and cyclocross V-brake systems where standard compounds fade or wear too quickly. The M70R2 Severe compound is 1mm thicker than the standard M70R2 formulation, delivering more material and longer service life in muddy, wet, or sustained braking conditions where pads see accelerated wear. Deep in-cut grooves in the pad face channel water and debris away from the braking surface for more consistent friction in all conditions, and the compound curvature maximizes rim contact across the pad's full face.

The M70R2 Severe is a cartridge-style replacement insert that threads into existing Shimano cartridge shoe holders already mounted on the brake arm. Compatible shoe holders span a wide range: XTR BR-M970, BR-M960, BR-M951, BR-M950; XT BR-T780, BR-M770, BR-M760, BR-M750, BR-M739, BR-M737; LX BR-T670, BR-M580, BR-M570; Deore BR-M530, BR-M510; Alivio BR-M430; Acera BR-M422, BR-M421, BR-M420, BR-M330, BR-T300; DXR BR-MX70; and MX BR-M600. Each package includes one pair of cartridge inserts with fixing hardware. For aluminum rims only.

FAQ

What is the difference between M70R2 and M70R2 Severe?

The M70R2 Severe is 1mm thicker than the standard M70R2, providing more pad material for longer service life in demanding conditions. Both share the same high-performance compound designed for dry and wet use, but the Severe version lasts significantly longer before replacement is needed.

Does this pad include the shoe holder?

No. This is a cartridge insert only that threads into an existing Shimano cartridge shoe holder already mounted on your brake arm. The shoe holder is not included.

Can I use M70R2 pads on carbon rims?

No. M70R2 pads are formulated for standard aluminum rim braking surfaces only. Do not use on carbon rims.

Best For

Mountain bikers, trekkers, and cyclocross riders running Shimano cartridge V-brake systems in muddy, wet, or sustained braking conditions who need a thicker, longer-lasting pad compound that holds up in the worst conditions.
