The GALFER FD575 G1652 E-Bike brake pads embody braking excellence for electric bikes and extreme downhill. Designed by the Spanish braking specialist with 70 years of experience in motorcycle and bicycle competition, these pads with purple G1652 compound utilize an organic semi-metallic formulation specifically developed to absorb the thermal, mechanical, and weight constraints of the most demanding E-MTB and electric mountain bikes. ECE R-90 certified, they integrate perfectly with SRAM Maven calipers (Bronze, Silver, Ultimate) equipped with 4 monumental pistons (18 mm and 19.5 mm), delivering 50% more braking power than Code while preserving modulation, silence, and durability.

E-Bike G1652 Technology: the DNA of intensive electric braking

• Asbestos-free semi-metallic compound: extreme resistance to high temperatures generated by the additional weight of batteries, motor, and increased speeds of E-bikes
• Optimal power and consistency: uniform performance throughout the pad's lifespan, even during long technical descents or repeated sessions
• Extended durability: reduced disc wear thanks to a formulation that minimizes aggressiveness while maximizing initial bite
• Silent braking: absence of vibrations and squealing, for focused and pleasant riding in all conditions (rain, mud, sand, dry)
• ECE R-90 certification: strict European certification guaranteeing reliability and safety for intensive E-bike use

SRAM Maven Compatibility: the synergy of power

The FD575 integrate exclusively with SRAM Maven 4-piston calipers (Maven Bronze, Maven Silver, Maven Ultimate), the most powerful braking system ever designed by SRAM. Thanks to SwingLink technology and optimized hydraulic ratio, these E-Bike pads fully exploit the 4 giant pistons for progressive modulation, cutting-edge thermal management, and incomparable lever feel. The caliper's bottom-loading design (Maven design) ensures maximum structural rigidity, translating every gram of pressure into pure braking power, without loss.

Made in Spain by the masters of braking

Each pair of GALFER pads is developed and manufactured in Granollers (Barcelona), in the 6,000 m² factory located in close proximity to the Circuit de Catalunya. Founded in 1952, GALFER draws on its MotoGP and Trial heritage to offer MTB and E-MTB OEM-level braking solutions, exceeding ECE R-90 standards. Member of FEMFM (European Federation of Friction Material Manufacturers), GALFER equips major brands as original equipment (KTM, Beta, Sherco, Orbea) and stands as the only Spanish bicycle brake pad manufacturer, combining innovation, quality, and sustainable performance.

Available variants

The GALFER range for SRAM Maven offers several compounds to meet all riding styles:

• Standard (black) — FD575G1053: ideal power/durability/progressiveness compromise for XC and Enduro
• Advanced (red) — FD575G1851: designed for difficult conditions (rain, mud, sand) — Trial/XC/Enduro/DH
• Pro (green) — FD575G1554T: high-end version for extreme conditions, maximum power and consistency at high temperature (Enduro/DH) — less durable but very powerful
• E-Bike (purple) — FD575G1652 (EAN 8400170261607): specific to electric bikes, ECE R-90 certification, supporting increased weight and speed

Technical highlights

• Consistent and predictable response: uniform behavior from the first to the last kilometer for optimal bike control
• Advanced thermal management: in synergy with massive Maven calipers (designed to dissipate heat), G1652 pads maintain performance and bite even after long repeated braking
• Disc protection: minimal rotor wear thanks to balanced friction, extending the overall lifespan of the braking system
• Versatile use: E-Enduro, E-DH, full-suspension electric MTB, Gravity E-bike — whenever weight and speed impose superior braking requirements
• Optimal performance in combination: paired with GALFER Wave E-Bike & Enduro discs (DB007W 223 mm, sold separately), the pads reach their full potential in thermal dissipation and power
