What Types of Brake Pads Are Best for Your Motorcycle?

The brake pads are one of the most critical components of the motorcycle, as they ensure the safety of the rider during stops. Even small differences in performance can have huge implications for the rider's safety. That's why it's important to purchase brake pads that are right for your particular motorcycle and riding habits. Whether you plan to ride on the track, street, or both, you'll need to choose the best brake pads. We'll go over what types of brake pads you'll need based on these activities. 

Brake Pads For the Track

For motorcyclists who will be riding on the track, you'll need a brake pad that's specifically crafted to perform under the high temperatures of racing. Our Brembo Replacement Brake Pad Set (Z04) is specifically designed for the rigors of racing, having been used in superbike world championships. However, this type of brake pad is only suitable for racing, as it needs high heat to function properly, so you should not use this pad for street use.

Brake Pads for the Street

If you're only a casual rider who intends to use their motorcycle for street use only, then you'll want to check out the Brembo Replacement Brake Pad Set (Genuine Sintered). This option is highly versatile with consistent performance and low wear across a varied range of temperatures and riding conditions. But it's important to note that this brake pad is not designed for the high temperatures of racing, as its performance starts to drop off at 480°F (250°C).

It's suitable for hot or cold weather conditions, so your motorcycle will be able to maintain performance across a range of riding situations.
