Review by Owner –
Pros
– Enhanced Stopping Power: Users have reported a significant improvement in stopping power compared to the factory organic pads. The high HH friction rating of these sintered pads ensures maximum braking efficiency, which is particularly beneficial for the single-disc setup on the Bobber.
– Durability: The sintered copper alloy construction provides superior longevity and consistent performance under various conditions, including wet and dry environments. This makes them a reliable choice for long-term use.
– Reduced Brake Fade: These pads are designed to handle high temperatures, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended or aggressive riding sessions. This feature is crucial for maintaining performance and safety.
– Easy Installation: Many users find the installation process straightforward, making it a relatively quick and easy upgrade that yields significant benefits in braking performance.
Cons
– Potential Rotor Wear: Some users have noted that sintered pads, including the EBC HH series, can be harsher on stock rotors, potentially leading to increased rotor wear over time. This is something to consider if you are concerned about the longevity of your rotors.
– Brake Noise: While not universally reported, some riders have experienced increased brake noise with sintered pads compared to organic options. This can be a minor annoyance for those who prefer quieter braking systems.
– Cost: Sintered brake pads tend to be more expensive than organic pads. Although they offer better performance and durability, the higher cost might be a consideration for budget-conscious riders.
– Initial Bedding-In Period: Like all high-performance brake pads, the EBC FA142 pads may require a bedding-in period to achieve optimal performance. During this time, braking might feel less responsive until the pads are fully bedded into the rotors
