These Shimano pads are EBC's 'Green Organic' formula.

EBC's Mountain Bike brake products have been developed in house in conjunction with world famous Downhill champion - Steve Peat. We believe they're the best pads in the world, and we're not alone. Most EBC pads come in three different compound types. GREEN - organic formula for cross-country and general use

These are a high quality organic formulation producing an excellent all round replacement pad for pleasure riding, cross country and trekking. If you're not sure what to choose, specify Green compound. Good lifetime and stopping power.

All EBC mountain bike pads are made using magnetic stainless steel backing plates. For systems using a magnet for pad retraction these are ideal but for all bike systems the benefit of a stainless steel backing plate is self evident.

For all systems which use a spring clip for pad retraction, EBC includes NEW improved strength retraction springs.

Many MTB brake rotors are NON hardened and have the words “Resin pad only” on them. It is critical that when you see this marking that you use a pad similar to EBC Green which is very low in its rotor abrasion features.
