Maximum Power for Demanding Descents

The Shimano P04C-MF Metallic Disc Brake Pads are engineered for riders who demand maximum braking consistency under extreme conditions. Featuring Shimano’s metallic compound and integrated Ice-Tech cooling fins, the P04C-MF pads are designed to deliver powerful, fade-resistant braking for aggressive trail, enduro, downhill, and eMTB riding.


Metallic Compound for High-Load Riding

Compared to resin pads, Shimano’s metallic compound offers:

  • Higher durability in wet and abrasive conditions
  • Greater resistance to heat buildup
  • Stronger initial bite and braking power
  • Improved performance on long descents

This makes the P04C-MF especially suited to:

  • eMTBs
  • Enduro and gravity riding
  • Heavy riders or loaded bikes
  • Sustained alpine descents

The metallic compound maintains braking consistency under higher temperatures where softer pad materials can begin to fade.


Ice-Tech Cooling Technology

Shimano’s Ice-Tech fin system is designed to draw heat away from the brake pad and caliper assembly during prolonged braking. Combined with the alloy backing plate, the cooling fins help:

  • Reduce brake fade
  • Maintain consistent lever feel
  • Improve thermal stability under load

This becomes particularly important on modern long-travel bikes and high-speed terrain where braking systems are exposed to extended heat cycles.


Built for Shimano 4-Piston Brake Systems

The P04C-MF uses Shimano’s P-Type narrow pad shape, developed for Shimano’s latest high-performance 4-piston brake systems including:

  • XTR BR-M9220
  • Deore XT BR-M8220

Supplied with spring hardware for straightforward installation and servicing.


What It’s Built For

  • Enduro and downhill riding
  • eMTB applications
  • Aggressive trail riding
  • Riders prioritising braking power and durability

Key Features

  • Shimano P04C-MF metallic disc brake pads
  • Ice-Tech cooling fins for improved heat management
  • Metallic compound for maximum durability and power
  • Alloy backing plate construction
  • P-Type narrow pad shape
  • Designed for Shimano 4-piston brake systems
  • Includes spring hardware

Summary

If the P03A-RF is about refinement and quiet modulation, the P04C-MF is about outright braking authority. These pads are built for riders pushing heavier bikes, steeper terrain, and longer descents where heat management and durability matter more than silence. For aggressive trail and eMTB riding, metallic pads still set the benchmark.
