vkuchhal · July 13th, 2014, 02:12 AM

I am planning to shift from the OEM brake pads to the ones listed below.

If anyone happens to use them , kindly post in your reviews about the effectiveness , durability and life expected?

Don't know much about the brands by stick with HH sintered pads up front and the GG in the rear. You need all the stopping power up front.

I wouldn't.

Go for HH, at bare minimum you want sintered up front, you may get away with organic rear, depending on how you use the rear, I'd sintered HH all round on mine.

If you have HH rear you need to be precise with your inputs (as in DONT STAMP ON THE PEDAL) progressive on & off gives you a lot of control for trail braking. Organic are pretty much only useful if you sit with your foot on the rear brake at a stop.

Try THESE

Thanks For the Input..

I happen to use my bike more in the city, and i hardly make any visits t the tracks.
And i have also heard that the sintered one makes noise while braking and reduces the life of the Metal disc. It this true?

As for the company, which do you feel is better? EBC or Brenta??

You would be hard presses to wear down your rotor enough to deem it need replacement for regular light street riding. With HH pads. I run EBC pads and they work great for the street and occasional track. I have no issues with them. As for the latter brand I have never heard of them but I don't see any issues with them if they are the proper HH pads as they are designed to be.

I Found one important page below:

So for final consideration i should only go for HH type only and not GG type... Correct?

HH in front, GG in the rear.
