NEW EBC Sintered Double-H Brake Pads(Set of 3) HH rated - Highest friction ratingSintered copper alloy for long life & perfect stopping powerStainless "radiator plates" prevent heat build-upDouble segment vented design keep pads cooler When EBC broke into the sintered pad market, it really did its homework. We took all the current market offerings, tested them, analysed them and beat them. We removed the iron powders commonly used in many sintered pads that cause the pad to "weld" to the disc under corrosion when the bike is parked and replaced it with stainless powder.EBC took out several other particles which out competitors still use which caused massive disc damage and created our launch material. After five years and millions of sets sold, EBC upgraded the formulation again to their SB101C material which completely eliminated brake noise, improved the pads heat cycling ability, and improved feel. What EBC has today for the faster rider is the pinnacle of sintered copper alloy engineering, researched and tested in EBC's own laboratories by engineers with over 50 years experience in sintered pad technology. The EBC flagship sintered streetsport pad that delivers highest braking power, stability and long life. Ultra high HH rated friction TÜV tested and ECE R 90 brake safety approved, there are few pads on the market to meet or beat the performance of Double-H™ pads. Made in the EBC state-of-the-art sintering plant in Ohio, USA, these pads stop fast - wet or dry - and last for thousands of miles.Most manufacturers build bikes using sintered metal pads and these are direct replacements for that technology with several differences. First the refined compounds researched and used exclusively EBC are second to none in terms of quality of materials and workmanship. Secondly almost all EBC Double-H™ sintered pads use EBC design perforated stainless steel heat and noise shields on the reverse side, keeping brakes cooler by reducing heat transfer into the bikes hydraulics and dampening noise.
