Shimano M70R2 Severe Condition V-Brake Pads - Pair
What Bikes Use the Shimano M70R2 Severe Condition V-Brake Pad?
The M70R2 is a cartridge-style rim brake pad designed for Shimano V-brake calipers on MTB, hybrid, and commuter bikes. Sold as a pair, these pads fit the BR-M770 and other Shimano V-brake calipers that use the cartridge shoe system, where the rubber pad element slides into a reusable aluminum shoe holder. The severe condition compound is formulated for riding in wet, muddy, and gritty environments where a standard compound would wear rapidly and lose consistent stopping power. The rubber compound grips aluminum rims reliably across a wide range of weather conditions, which is the core requirement for any rider who commutes year-round or rides in variable Pacific Northwest or similar climates.
V-brake pads require periodic replacement as the compound wears down, and running worn pads reduces stopping power and risks damage to the rim sidewall. The M70R2 cartridge format makes pad changes quick and clean without needing to replace the aluminum shoe holder. Each pad includes a pin and split washer for secure retention in the shoe. These pads are compatible with standard Shimano V-brake cartridge shoe holders and can be used with third-party holders that use the same cartridge format. For commuters, tourers, or trail riders still running V-brake equipped bikes who want a durable all-weather pad compound without overspending, the M70R2 is the correct replacement specification.
