Review: Great stopping power - Great pads no squeaking or grinding in the wet. Good stopping power
Review: Good Product as long as you do not get supplied fakes - I’ve been using the Shimano J05A RF Disc Brake Pads on my mountain bike for about 6 months now, and I’m genuinely impressed. These are perfect for anyone looking for reliable braking with excellent heat management. Here’s what stands out: Quiet and Smooth Braking The resin compound makes these pads incredibly quiet, even during sudden stops or longer descents. Compared to metallic pads, there’s much less squealing, and the braking feels smooth and controlled I suffered from squealing with the metal pads when the discs get wet. Cooling Fins Make a Real Difference The integrated cooling fins are a game-changer, especially on long rides or technical downhill sections. I noticed far less heat buildup, and the brakes didn’t fade even on intense trails. It’s clear Shimano’s Ice-Tech cooling technology works as advertised. Durability Improved Over Previous Models These pads are an upgrade from the previous J03A version, and it shows. The new resin compound feels more durable. After weeks of riding in mixed conditions (dry and muddy trails), the pads are still holding up well with plenty of life left. I’m using these on my Shimano XT Rear brakes and they work well The Shimano J05A RF pads are worth every penny if you value quiet, reliable braking with excellent heat control. However there is a gotcha here. Shimano operate an product authenticity system in the Asia market and this involves an authenticity sticker The Shimano Authenticity Sticker is a security measure used by Shimano in specific market regions to help customers verify the authenticity of Shimano products and protect against counterfeit items. This feature ensures that buyers can trust they are purchasing genuine Shimano components. Sadly the market is flooded with counterfeit products, I received a fake set of pads , from desertcart directly and not a 3rd party seller the are a quite a good fake out of all the fakes I have seen, authenticity sticker was attached to this product but it was fake , there was no 2nd layer with the QR Code. Products for the UK market should not actually have stickers they should be blank and they should not have a printed on box QR Code either. My Photos show the fake I received on the left along with the genuine products on the right

Bought from a marketplace seller. Pad material fell off metal backing plate during a ride meaning my brake failed with no warning.
