Shimano RS805 Road Disc Brake Pads

The Shimano RS805 disc brake pads are a suitable replacement for riders looking for pads for Shimano disc brakes on road bikes. They are part of the Road range and use an organic compound, although the manufacturer does not state the exact composition. Compatibility covers a wide range of models, including BR-M9100, R9170, R8070, R7070, RU5000, RS805, RS505, RS405, R510 and R310, as well as Dura-Ace R9170, Ultegra R8070 and GRX R810 groupsets.

Before buying, compare your brake's model code with the compatibility list, as it includes several models from different groupsets. A retaining spring is included in the pack. Bedding in with approximately 30 braking applications is stated as mandatory: complete this before tackling more demanding descents.

Founded in 1921 in Sakai, Japan, by Shozaburo Shimano, Shimano is still based in the same city today. For cyclists, it makes drivetrains, brakes, wheels, pedals and cycling shoes. Its history in bicycle components began with the production of freewheels in 1922.
