Difference between shimano m485 and m525

[XCRider94]

Hi

I was just wondering if there is a difference between the shimano br m485 and br m525 disk brake pads?

I think they are the same shape, just different compounds.

The M485 is a resin pad, and I think the M525 is semi metallic pad.
I could be wrong, but I have run both without any issues.

Spot on. I just went through this process myself.
