Technologies

ICE-TECH cooling technology – To maintain consistent braking power for longer, Shimano developed Ice-Tech cooling technology for brake rotors and pads. Ice-Tech pads have aluminium cooling fins that improve heat dissipation. Combined with optimised rotor heat radiation, these features extend pad life and minimise brake noise and fading.
