The one and only difference between all the models is the trim. While brake pads can be fitted to your motorcycle, not all of them are necessarily suitable for your bike, let alone the use you make of it!

Choosing the right type of brake pads

The metal of the brake disc determines which pads will be used. A stainless steel disc will use metal pads. A cast iron disc will use organic pads and will poorly support sintered metal pads.

USADAILY GE ON THE ROAD: ORGANIC PADS

USAGE PISTE ET VIOLENT BRAKING: SINTERED METAL PADS

USAGE PISTE ONLY (ULTRA VIOLENT BRAKING): KEVL PADSAR (FOR PILOTE EXPERIMENTÃ S)

ORGANIC (OR CERAMIC) PLATES

These are organic or "standard" brake pads often originally installed on motorcycles.

ADVANTAGES :

- Softer than other types

- Offer homogeneous and progressive braking

- To be efficient, they do not need to rise in temperature

- They can be installed on all types of brake discs

- "Standard" pads, they are ideal for daily use

INCONVENIENTTS :

- The wear of the organic platelets is done more quickly

- At high temperature, these pads are less efficient on hard braking

Organic brake pads ➜

FRITTED METAL PLATES (OR SINTER)

These are brake pads used more on the track, for drivers who tend to brake hard.

ADVANTAGES :

- robust, ideal for heavy braking

- Longer lifespan

- Ideal for riding on mountainous terrain

- Ideal for riding on track

INCONVENIENTTS :

- Cannot be installed on cast iron brake discs. It is therefore imperative to look at the characteristics of your discs before considering installing these pads.

- Brake discs wear out much faster

Sintered metal brake pads ➜

SEMI-METAL PLATES

These pads contain between 100 and 100% metal and other composite alloys.

ADVANTAGES :

- Longevity

- Offer stable and regular braking in all circumstances

- Resistant to fading, they withstand high temperatures

- They are ideal for mixed use

- Excellent compromise in terms of price and performance

INCONVENIENTTS :

- The wear of the organic platelets is done more quickly

- They must be installed for stainless steel and cast iron discs.

KEVL PLATESAR (OR TRACK)

These are very specific pads, intended only for the track, and for certain models of discs. They can be dangerous if they are mounted without knowing the specifics.

ADVANTAGES :

- Ideal for very violent braking

- Ultra precise braking on the track

- Very responsive braking (once the brake pads are warmed up)

INCONVENIENTTS :

- It is necessary that the pads are at approximately 200Â ° to be effective. This is never the case in everyday use on the road.

- The purchase price is significantly higher
