EBC "R" Series Sintered Moto-X & ATV Brake Pads Product Reviews

Many of us enjoy riding off road with trying to be Malcolm Smith and getting the brakes red hot. For that group the R series pads are an ideal choice for Off Road Riding.

R series pads are a sintered copper alloy pad made in our USA sintered production plant to deliver a medium to high friction pad, at an attractive price point that lasts well in all conditions of wet, mud water or sand.

R series pads are equally well applied to two wheel and four wheel machines and as such are very well liked amongst ATV riders especially due to the conditions on some rides where the rear ATV rotor hangs down in the mud and chews through lower quality pads in a weekend. The EBC series pads are available for all modern ATV and Moto X bikes and are priced well below original parts.

R series pads are also designed for minimum rotor abrasion and will not damage your bikes brake rotors.

If you have a wear life problem with an ATV EBC does make an even longer lasting pad with its SV Series Severe Duty range, shown on this page.

Sintered copper brakes are made by one of two processes, pressure sintering in a vacuum furnace or sintering through a belt furnace in a controlled atmosphere. The steel backing plates for the brake pads are copper coated and a preformed sintered copper “Puck” is located onto pips in the plate (either male or female) and the parts are passed through a furnace. At a pre-determined temperature the copper coating under the pad puck melts and fused the puck and plate together.

Sintering is a very exact process and the EBC expertise has made it a world leader in such technology and gained it numerous OE contracts.

In the aftermarket EBC continues to offer sintered brakes for applications requiring longer life and higher heat performance and organic pads for sport and general purpose use.

Both work well in their respective markets and have a place in the industry, elsewhere on this website we can explain the merits of each compound type and assist you in choosing what is right for your riding requirements.

SAFETY CONCERN – USE OF ATVS/QUADS ON PUBLIC ROADS

Also in Europe we are seeing ATV’s used for highway use, some scary quick four wheelers are flying around on public roads these days and we wonder if the riders of those machines have paid enough attention to tire and brake choices which vary tremendously to what these units were designed for. Our advice here is, its all fine and dandy you riding an ATV at 70 MPH on a street but were your brakes designed with high heat capabilities, Generally ATV brakes are designed to last well in mud water and sand but not necessarily to handle the high speeds of street use.

EBC Brakes makes no warranty that its brakes will transform a machine designed essentially for off road use into a safe machine to use on the highway and all of our products are offered for OFF HIGHWAY use only.

If you do use you ATV on highway no matter what brakes you use, drive carefully and slowly and use the BEST brake pads you can buy.

EBC Brakes are NOT tested or approved for highway use on ATVs at this time and homologation and safety for highways use is totally the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer.
