EBC Sintered Brake pads?

[drewMember]

Just looking around at brake pads and found some EBC branded pads.

i know EBC are a biggish brand in car clutches and brake stuff.

anyone had any experience with EBC or sintered pads?

or do i just stick with KTM/ factory ones?

all i know is that i been told sintered ones will last longer than STD./ normal pads.

and that there can be a trade off between braking capacity/ effectiveness and longevity.

Hello xy-transit,
I recently replaced rear pads in the KTM with sintered ones (can’t remember what brand) :unsure:
I have been told they last longer than standard.
I don’t know yet but the pads i replaced were sintered (bought the bike second hand).
Don’t know how long they were in for but they still had a bit of wear left in them.
I can’t say that i notice any difference in stopping power between the sintered and bikes i have ridden with standard pads.
I have ridden in water and mud and they work fine

have found the ebc sintered pads last real well but don t stop as good as some.found the sbs brand of sintered pads stop a lot better but don t last as long .note all sintered pads will wear you discs but disces are cheap .most standard pads are sintered

There are many different grades, compounds and brands XY. In my opinion sintered is the go like Rocket said. I just purchased some from Sutto’s and they were cheaper then the last set I bought actually.

Good info here.

I run Goodridge pads which are relabelled EBC

They work a little better when hot, last forever in mud although they might chew the disc a little more than others
