ULIP sintered brake pads are prepared as a model-oriented replacement part for the Giant Explore E+ 1 (2026) when the bicycle is equipped with a Shimano BR-MT420 brake caliper. The sintered metallic compound is designed for stable braking, good heat resistance, and a longer lifespan in urban, trekking, and off-road use.
Precise compatibility condition
The bicycle model itself is not sufficient proof. Before ordering, read the Shimano BR-MT420 marking on the caliper and compare the shape of the original pads with the D01S/D02S/D03S family. This listing is valid only when both matches occur.
