Shimano's own Type N Brake Pads are no different. They feature Ice-Tech cooling fins to combat heat generated from sustained braking. The cooling fins can be seen sitting at the top of the brake pad (above the braking surface) and tests have shown they work tremendously. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe latest N03A-RF is said to have 50% better wear than the previous N03A models with improved modulation and even quieter operation. The previous N03A pads were a newer resin compound that had 40% longer wear resistance than the previous N02A  pads. Soon, the pads will never wear out!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith terrific wear characteristics, heat dissipation, braking power and consistency why would you choose anything else? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho's this item for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Riders in need of replacement brake pads for their Shimano XTR BR-M9120, XT BR-M8120, or SLX BR-M7120 brakes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResin - Organic, Offers great initial bite and noise reduction in both dry and wet conditions.
