Trail/Enduro → higher bite and fade resistance like EBC Red
Downhill/Race → maximum performance like EBC HH
Terrain & Conditions
Wet/muddy = look for good wet grip (Red or HH)
Long descents = choose fade-resistant pads (Red or HH)
Brake Feel Preference
Want quiet and smooth? → EBC Green
Want powerful and responsive? → EBC Red or HH
Maintenance & Rotor Wear
Softer pads (Green/Red) = kinder to rotors
Sintered pads (HH) = longer-lasting, but may wear rotors faster
Driving with worn or damaged brake pads is dangerous and can lead to brake failure, longer stopping distances, and accidents. Regular inspections ensure:
⚠️ Maximum Braking Performance – Prevents loss of stopping power.
⚠️ Avoid Costly Repairs – Worn pads can damage rotors and callipers.
⚠️ Safe Driving Conditions – Reduces the risk of brake fade or failure.
⚠️ Legal Compliance – Faulty brakes can result in fines or failed inspections.
