KTM Rear Brake Pads – Sintered

98-03 SX/EXC

DO YOU KNOW about the various properties and operational uses of different brake pads?

SINTERED BRAKE PADS
– 100% sintered metals
– Very high coefficient of friction for maximum and enduring braking power
– Low “fading” tendency when hot – Very effective braking in the wet as well
– Very hard and therefore extremely long-lasting
– Particularly beneficial in extreme conditions (e.g. sand, gravel, etc.)

ORGANIC BRAKE PADS
– Made from a special material mix with a high proportion of organic substances, therefore softer
– With ceramic underlayer for optimum thermal insulation
– Lower friction coefficient than sintered brake pads, so less aggressive braking feel
– Beneficial when particularly refined responsiveness is desired for ideal brake application
