Why Choose Semi-Sintered Drag Specialties Brake Pads?

A semi-sintered brake pad is a unique hybrid, combining the best attributes of both organic and sintered materials. This innovative compound delivers the strong, reliable braking of a metallic pad with the improved rotor friendliness and progressive feel of an organic pad. It’s the ultimate "do-it-all" brake pad for riders who want superior performance without the harshness of a full sintered pad.

Key Features:

• Superior Braking Performance: Experience a firm, progressive brake feel with excellent initial bite and consistent stopping power across a wide temperature range.
• Long-Lasting Durability: The semi-sintered material is more resistant to wear than organic pads, giving you a longer lifespan and fewer replacements.
• Gentle on Rotors: A balanced metallic content ensures less aggressive rotor wear compared to traditional sintered pads, extending the life of your brake discs.
• Reduced Brake Fade: Highly resistant to heat, these brake pads maintain their performance even under heavy and prolonged braking conditions.
• Quiet and Smooth Operation: Enjoy a quiet ride with less noise and dust than many full-sintered pads on the market.

Understanding Brake Pad Materials: A Comprehensive Guide

The world of brake pads can be confusing. To help you make the most informed decision for your motorcycle, here's a breakdown of the three primary types of brake pad materials and their characteristics.

1. Organic Brake Pads (NAO - Non-Asbestos Organic)

Organic pads are made from a mixture of non-metallic fibers, fillers, and binders, such as rubber, glass, and Kevlar®. They are often the standard OEM choice for many motorcycles.

• Pros:
• Quiet Operation: Produce very little noise.
• Gentle on Rotors: Their softer compound causes minimal wear on brake discs.
• Good Initial Bite: Offer a soft, responsive feel right away, even when cold.
• Cost-Effective: Typically the least expensive option.
• Cons:
• Lower Durability: Wear out much faster than other types, requiring more frequent replacement.
• Prone to Brake Fade: Performance can diminish under high heat from aggressive or prolonged braking.
• Poor Wet-Weather Performance: Can lose stopping power in wet or muddy conditions.

2. Full Sintered Brake Pads

Sintered pads are created by fusing metallic powders under high heat and pressure. They are known for their aggressive friction and extreme durability.

• Pros:
• Maximum Stopping Power: Provide the highest coefficient of friction for the most aggressive braking.
• Exceptional Durability: Extremely long-lasting and resistant to wear.
• Excellent Heat Resistance: Maintain performance under the most demanding, high-temperature conditions.
• Superior Wet-Weather Performance: Unaffected by water, mud, and other road contaminants.
• Cons:
• More Abrasive: The metallic compound can cause accelerated wear on rotors.
• Noisy: Often produce a noticeable squeal or squeak during braking.
• Harsh Feel: Can have a very aggressive initial "bite" that some riders find too abrupt.

3. Semi-Sintered / Semi-Metallic Brake Pads

Drag Specialties' semi-sintered pads are a carefully balanced mix of organic and metallic compounds. This "best of both worlds" design offers a unique combination of performance, longevity, and feel.

• Pros:
• Versatile Performance: Provide a great balance of stopping power for both street and moderate performance riding.
• Improved Durability: Last significantly longer than organic pads.
• Reduced Rotor Wear: Less aggressive on rotors than full sintered pads.
• Progressive Feel: Offer a smooth, controllable braking experience.
• Resistant to Fade: Handle heat better than organic pads, ensuring consistent performance.
• Cons:
• More Dust & Noise: Can produce slightly more dust and noise than organic pads, though less than full sintered.
• Mid-Range Cost: More expensive than organic pads but a worthwhile investment in performance.
