Introducing GALFER Brake Pads – Top Performance, Confidence, and Quiet Braking Every Time

Brakes are one of the most important elements for safety and riding enjoyment. When it comes to braking, every cyclist wants reliability, power, and a sense of control – regardless of weather, terrain, or riding style. That’s exactly why at VETTA Bike Components we chose to import GALFER braking components, which have been setting the standard in two-wheeled braking systems for decades.

What makes GALFER so special?

GALFER compounds are the result of years of development, combining organic and semi-metallic materials specifically adapted for bicycle use. The result?

– Quiet operation with no squealing
– Better braking feel and more progressiveness
– Fewer vibrations and longer rotor lifespan
– Excellent resistance to high temperatures
– Consistent performance throughout pad life

In addition, all brake pad compounds are designed for specific needs – from e-bikes to road racers and aggressive downhill riding.

Which GALFER brake pads are right for me?

GALFER offers a wide range of pad compounds tailored to different riding styles, weather conditions, and bike types. Whether you ride enduro, road, or electric bikes, you’ll find the right solution. Here’s an overview of their main models:

G1053 PERFORMANCE – Universal Choice

This is the most versatile compound in the GALFER range – ideal for those seeking reliability in all conditions. It offers progressive braking, good lever feel, and quiet performance. Perfect for recreational cyclists and those riding various terrains – from gravel and city streets to mountain trails. G1053 is a great starting choice if you’re unsure which compound to pick.

G1851 ADVANCED – For Wet and Muddy Conditions

The G1851 compound is designed for extreme conditions – mud, wet trails, forest tracks after rain. Thanks to basalt fibers and a special coating, it repels moisture effectively and maintains braking power when others fade. Ideal for riders who go out in winter, rain, or often ride on soaked terrain – perfect for XC and enduro in all weather.

G1554T PRO – Racing Compound with No Bedding In

If you ride competitively and want pads that deliver full power from the first brake pull, G1554T is the way to go. A high-performance compound that works brilliantly at high temperatures and requires no bedding in. Ideal for downhill, enduro racing, and road rides with long descents. Braking remains consistent, even when the rotor gets red hot.

G1455 ROAD – For Road Cyclists

The G1455 compound is specially developed for road bikes and all weather conditions. It delivers strong yet controlled braking and a very long lifespan. Especially popular among cyclists doing long-distance rides, where reliable braking, quiet operation, and rotor friendliness are key. A great choice for gran fondos, training, and everyday road use.

G1652 E-BIKE – Power and Durability for Electric Bikes

E-bikes are heavier and faster, and need a specialized brake pad. G1652 is built exactly for that – offering excellent heat resistance, high braking power, and quiet performance even under strong braking. The compound is certified under the ECE R-90 standard, meeting strict European safety requirements. Recommended for all e-bikes, from city models to e-enduro. Due to its ability to handle high loads, this pad is also very popular in downhill racing.

G1398 SINTERED – For Bike Trial

This is GALFER’s only metallic sintered compound – developed specifically for trial bikes, where precision is everything. It offers a combination of aggressive and highly progressive braking, from slow rolls to instant lockups. It performs equally well in wet and dry conditions, which is critical for technical maneuvers. Recommended exclusively for bike trial disciplines.

How to bed in your brake pads properly

Bedding in is key to optimal performance. Apply gentle braking 20–25 times or ride downhill for 2 minutes with occasional braking, so the pad surface properly adapts to the rotor.
Note: PRO G1554T model does not require bedding in.

Whether you ride road, mountain, electric, or gravel bikes – GALFER has a brake pad suited to your riding style and terrain. Their compounds are not only the result of more than 60 years of experience, but also of ongoing development tailored to the needs of modern cyclists.

GALFER brake pads provide:

– Quiet operation without squealing
– Excellent braking power and responsiveness
– Reduced rotor wear and longer component lifespan
