Brembo Pads

[JoeRock]

Anyone used the brembo pads on here?

Not sure whether to go for the SA or carbon compound - the SA is designed for fast road use which isn't really what I'm doing on the 9 commuting into work so was leaning more towards the carbon?

I would have thought the carbon pads were more for track use where brakes don't have a chance to cool down as much. Based on what you have said about the SA ones, it would suggest Brembo pads are not what you need.

Hello mate,


These are the two I was looking at:

CC – The Organic Road pad[/size]CC The carbon-ceramic compound has evolved from the previous organic compound, thanks to its higher carbon content. This type of material features good durability, good performance hot and cold, wet and dry. It is has a slightly more progressive initial bite and is slightly less aggressive than the sintered pad and is compatible with both steel and cast iron discs. It is ideal for most modern motorcycles with riders looking for high mileage without RR performance.

SA – The Sintered Road Pad
These Sintered road pads are Brembo's most popular aftermarket pads. The new SA(front) and SP(rear) sintered compounds are excellent for the latest generation sports bikes. Manufactured through a particular production process, these brake pads have a high friction coefficient, excellent initial bite and are superb in both wet and dry weather for fast road use. These are an excellent alternative to Original Equipment pads! - See more at: http://www.biketorqueracing.co.uk/brakes/brembo-brake-pads#sthash.bZvw4RWZ.dpuf [/color]

I generally prefer Carbon Ceramic compounds to Sintered as they aren't as harsh on the discs but don't have as much mess as Organic stuff
