The Brake Authority Burly brake pads for Shimano XTR 2011 M985 embody French excellence in MTB braking. Developed with the support of champions like Fabien Barel, these high-performance sintered metal pads are delivered pre-bedded and ready to use. Designed for demanding riders in XC, All Mountain and Enduro, they offer exceptional longevity, excellent rotor preservation and remarkable braking modulation.

Burly Technology: longevity serving performance

The Burly compound from Brake Authority uses a sintered metal formulation developed specifically for sport riding and competition. This technology guarantees remarkable, even exceptional longevity, while preserving the integrity of the brake rotor. Thanks to a very high temperature sintering process, these pads reach optimal performance level from the first uses, with no bedding-in period required. Rotor preservation is maximal, which also extends the lifespan of the entire braking system.

Technical highlights

• High-performance sintered metal compound: Developed for intensive use in XC, AM and Enduro competition, with field testing
• Pre-bedded and ready to brake: No bedding-in period required, optimal performance from installation
• Exceptional modulation and control: Precise control of braking power for intuitive and safe riding
• Exceptional longevity: Lifespan superior to standard pads thanks to optimized sintered compound
• Rotor preservation: Non-aggressive formulation that preserves rotor condition and extends its lifespan
• Eco-responsible design: Old pad recovery and recycling program, CO2 footprint reduction

Compatibility and installation

These pads are specifically designed for Shimano XTR 2011 M985 calipers, ensuring perfect fit and optimal performance. The metal backing plate ensures excellent heat dissipation and ideal rigidity for braking power transmission. Installation is simple and quick, without specific tools. Supplied as a pair (for one front or rear caliper), they integrate perfectly into the original braking system.

Development and Brake Authority commitment

Brake Authority has established itself as a reference in the bicycle braking world thanks to a rigorous development process. Each compound is tested in real conditions by engineers and top-level riders, including Fabien Barel, downhill world champion. The French brand is also committed to an ambitious environmental approach with a used pad recovery program to recycle their materials. More than 150 models available and 3 types of compounds (Burly, Aggressive, Ceramic) meet all rider needs, from cross-country to downhill.
