Specifically designed for the demands of electric bikes, the GALFER E-Bike G1652 brake pads stand out with their characteristic purple color and their ECE R90 certification, a world first for bike brake pads. This exclusive semi-metallic compound meets the increased braking requirements of e-bikes: higher speeds, increased weight and intensified thermal stress require consistent performance and exemplary durability.

Performance and ECE R90 certification

The G1652 pads are the world's first bike brake pads certified ECE R90, guaranteeing a level of quality and efficiency equal to or greater than original equipment pads. This approval validates their behavior during rigorous tests of braking power, wear resistance and performance in all weather conditions. The Spanish brand GALFER, with 70 years of experience in motorcycle and bicycle braking, offers here a product specifically developed for E-MTB and urban e-bikes.

Technical highlights

• Purple G1652 compound: exclusive formulation to manage the heat generated by the excess weight and high speeds of electric bikes
• Optimal heat resistance: designed to prevent overheating and loss of efficiency (fade) during repeated or prolonged braking
• Progressive power: fine modulation and powerful bite for optimal control, without parasitic noise
• Enhanced durability: organic semi-metallic pad (asbestos-free) offering longer life than standard pads
• Reduced rotor wear: minimizes vibration and abrasion to extend brake rotor life
• 4-piston configuration: supplied as 4 pads (one per piston) for even braking and balanced wear

Compatibility and installation

These pads fit 4-piston calipers Magura MT5 and MT7. Each set includes 2 pairs (4 pads total, one per piston), with mounting pin supplied. For optimal performance, GALFER recommends proper bedding-in: perform 20 to 25 gentle braking actions per wheel, allowing the system to cool, until the friction surface is well marked on the rotor. Pairing with a GALFER Wave® E-Bike rotor of ø223 mm allows you to unlock the full potential of these pads.

Applications and users

Ideal for e-touring bikes, E-MTB Trail/Enduro and urban electric bikes, these pads are aimed at demanding cyclists who seek consistent, reliable and high-performance braking in all circumstances. Approved by renowned riders (Marco Aurelio Fontana, Olympic medalist, Marco Melandri 250cc champion, José Borges WES Gravity winner), they guarantee safety and confidence on all types of terrain. Spanish manufacturing in the GALFER factory in Granollers (Barcelona), with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications.
