How To Identify Your Shimano Brake Pads
The easiest way to confirm compatibility is to check the model number on your brake caliper. If you ride Shimano XT, XTR, Saint, Zee, or MT-series 4-piston brakes, these pads are likely the correct fit.
You can also remove your existing pads and compare the backing plate shape. Shimano D-Type, H-Type, and N-Type pads share the same physical format used across many Shimano 4-piston systems.
