EBC CFA493HH Brake Pads
The Problem Every Electric Motocross Rider Knows
EBC CFA493HH brake pads for Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria Sting use the Double-H sintered compound for maximum bite and fade resistance in all riding conditions.
The Solution: EBC CFA493HH Brake Pads for Sur-Ron and Talaria
EBC CFA493HH Double-H Sintered brake pads are EBC’s highest-performance compound for electric motocross applications. The Double-H sintered formula delivers maximum bite from cold, exceptional fade resistance under sustained use, and a service life two to three times longer than organic pads. EBC is one of the world’s leading brake pad manufacturers, trusted by professional MX riders and road racers globally.
Three Steps to Maximum Braking Performance
- Order your EBC CFA493HH brake pads from eMotoX Sports, in stock and ready to ship.
- Remove the wheel, slide out the old pads, fit the new EBC pads, and reassemble.
- Bed in the pads with 10 to 15 progressive stops before riding hard.
What Happens If You Ride on Worn Pads
Worn pads increase stopping distances, cause uneven disc wear, and risk metal-on-metal contact between the caliper piston and disc. A scored brake disc costs significantly more to replace than a set of pads, and a brake failure on the trail can result in a serious crash.
Ride With Confidence
With EBC CFA493HH pads fitted, your brakes deliver consistent, powerful stopping force on every ride. The Double-H compound bites hard from cold, resists fade under sustained use, and outlasts organic pads by a significant margin, giving you more time riding and less time in the workshop.
