Why Choose Drag Specialties Sintered Brake Pads?
The secret to the exceptional performance of the Drag Specialties 1721-1948 brake pads lies in their advanced sintered compound. This innovative material combines the best attributes of both organic and sintered brake pads, giving you a powerful, all-around solution.
- Superior Stopping Power: The metallic components in the sintered compound provide a high friction coefficient, translating to powerful and responsive braking, even in demanding conditions.
- Extended Pad Life: You'll spend less time and money on replacements. These pads are highly durable and resistant to wear, giving you more miles of reliable performance.
- Reduced Noise and Dust: The sintered blend is designed to minimize the brake dust and noise often associated with fully metallic pads, keeping your wheels cleaner and your ride quieter.
- Optimal Rotor Protection: While providing aggressive stopping power, the sintered material is also gentle on your brake rotors, helping to extend their life.
The Science Behind the Stop: A Guide to Brake Pad Materials
Understanding the materials used in brake pads is crucial for choosing the right set for your riding style. Here's a breakdown of the most common types and their characteristics.
Organic Brake Pads (Organic Non-Asbestos - NAO)
Organic pads are made from a mixture of non-metallic materials like glass, rubber, carbon, and Kevlar, all bound together with a resin. They are often the original equipment on older motorcycles.
- Pros:
- Quiet operation
- Gentle on rotors
- Effective at low temperatures
- Inexpensive
- Cons:
- Shorter lifespan
- Lower friction and stopping power, especially at high temperatures
- Prone to "glazing" (hardening) under heavy use
- Less effective in wet conditions
Sintered Brake Pads (Full-Metallic)
Sintered pads are created by fusing metallic powders (like copper and iron) together under high heat and pressure, without melting them. They are the most common OEM pads on modern, high-performance motorcycles.
- Pros:
- Maximum stopping power and friction
- Exceptional heat resistance and fade resistance
- Longer lifespan than organic pads
- Excellent performance in wet, muddy, or sandy conditions
- Cons:
- Can be noisy
- More aggressive on rotors, leading to faster wear
- Slower to "warm up" and reach peak performance
Sintered Brake Pads (Metallic)
The ideal compromise, sintered pads blend the properties of both organic and sintered materials. They typically contain a mix of organic friction material with a percentage of metallic compounds. The Drag Specialties 1721-1948 pads are a prime example of this technology.
- Pros:
- A perfect balance of stopping power and rotor longevity
- Strong performance in both wet and dry conditions
- Longer life than organic pads, often comparable to sintered
- Reduced noise and dust compared to full-metallic pads
- Cons:
- Slightly more expensive than organic pads
- May not have the absolute maximum "initial bite" of a full-sintered pad
