Comments On Jun 05, 2013:Purchased these for my Can Am 1000XT. They were exactly the same as the dealers sell but a whole lot cheaper. It was going to cost me 130 for just one full set around. This is by far the best deal I have found yet!

Comments On May 28, 2013:These pads do not come with the metal shield like the OEM pads from Honda. I thought it would be no big deal until I had the brakes overheat. went back to OEM Honda pads and no problems!

Comments On May 29, 2013:These brakes bite well and hold up pretty good too! some pads with better bite do not last long at all. I have several races on these and they are holding up pretty well.

Comments On May 22, 2013:They fit, they stop the bike, ... Not sure what else to say. I'm considering a solid rotor to make pads last longer in the mud but these didn't wear bad for the conditions.

Comments On Feb 18, 2013:Installed new pads and reused old rotor, after cleaning rotor. Bike stops on a dime and gives you nine cents change. Brake pads work great. Would purchase again would recommend to a friend.

Comments On Oct 25, 2012:I have tried many brake pads and these ones work great. They feel smooth when braking and are quiet and not squeeking like many others do when they are new. They are inexpensive, but work great for any casual rider.

Comments On Jun 21, 2012:I race hare scrambles and enduros in some nasty conditions: water, mud and silt. These brakes stop. During a 5 hour enduro I can heat these pads up pretty good. They might start squeaking (rear) but they continue doing their job; which is slowing/stopping the bike. If you are looking for reliable and consistent performance, rely on EBC. 5 stars for front pads and 4 stars for the rears. The rears wear a little quicker than I would like... BUT also note that I am hard on my brakes.

Comments On Nov 29, 2011:Have been using these for the last 2 years and have had no problems. So far it stops and wears just as good as oem. Have used these brand before on other bikes with similar results. Will buy again after this set wears out.

Comments On Sep 14, 2011:One thing about these pads is they seem to require a little more force on the brake in order to achieve the same stopping power as the stock pads. For me this was a good thing since the stock KTM pads gave a light switch effect, the brakes where on or off, very hard to modulate. They seem to be wearing about the same if not slower then stock, although the stock pads were used mostly in muddy conditions and these have seen a lot more dry conditions.
Overall I'm very happy and would for sure buy these again.

Comments On Mar 16, 2010: These are fantastic out of the box but wish they would stay so aggressive their lifetime. That would be expecting too much though. Contamination and wear is unavoidable. The contamination in the rotor is was causes squeal from new pads for those wondering (only sometimes). Bead blast rotors when possible. If you want to ride hard and think you may need a pair, well you need a pair! Brings out the lever also. I always buy sintered for the durable, aggressive, and consistent aspects for heavy bikes w/ good tires. Don't try to compromise or save a few bucks when it comes to brakes. EBC Sintered, can't go wrong.

Comments On May 03, 2009:i just installed these pads on my 400ex and right from the start i had trouble installing them because they were too thick for my caliper. not sure how that worked but after tapping them down with a hammer and running the bike for about an hour with the pads rubbing the rotor the whole time they seem like they work decent... not sure why they didn't fit though...

Comments On Dec 10, 2008:The pads work great at stopping my 450, but my fronts are squeeling like a stuck pig now and I can't see a reason why? Still plenty of pad material and the rotor is fine... Unless they glazed over? I'll let you know when I change them again..
Additional Comments On Feb 15, 2009:Just replaced both front and rear pads with EBC again. Now both F & R squeal like stuck pigs. I overheated the rear brake in practice till the pedal had no brake. After cooling it came back, I bled it with fresh fluid. Brakes squealed again both motos but never lost the brake. Strange? I never had this problem on other bikes. Unknown cause.

Comments On Jan 08, 2009:Not sure what all the hubbub is about, but the noise they make when wet is like fingernails on a blackboard... I have tried them on a Warrior, Raptor 660, and Raptor 700 with identical results. It also takes a lot more force on the brake pedal to engage them.

Comments On Jun 09, 2008:These brake pads work much better than OEM brake pads in fair weather. They have a great bite to them. However, if you're riding in very dry or hot conditions (e.g. Utah), you should consider using the Galfer carbon brake pads. They are more durable in extremely dry and hot conditions.
