Types of Brake Pads & Their Benefits
- Sintered Pads
Engineered by fusing metal particles under heat and pressure, sintered pads provide fast bite, excellent all-weather performance, fade resistance, and long life—common OEM choice. Ideal for commuters, street riders, and racers. - Semi-Sintered (Metal-Organic) Pads
These pads fuse organic fibers (like Kevlar) with metal particles, offering smoother initial bite than full sintered pads while still handling heat better than pure organics. Suited for mixed riding styles—street with occasional spirited use - Organic Pads (NAO)
Made from natural fibers, carbon, and resin, these offer quiet operation and rotor-friendly wear, perfect for low-speed commuting or urban rides. Note: Less fade-resistant and wear faster than metallic variants.

Why Quality Matters
- Prevents brake fade, especially during repeated or sustained braking
- Offers consistent bite and feedback between hot and cold states .
- Reduces abrasion and rotor wear, depending on material choice.
Tips for Brake Pad Longevity & Maintenance
- Replace at 2 mm or when grooves disappear—ensures safety and protects rotors
- Bed in new pads with gentle, repeated stops to deposit an even friction layer
- Clean and lubricate caliper slides and backing plates to maintain even pad wear.
- Inspect rotors for scoring or warping and resurface or replace alongside new pads.
