Ceramic Pads:
- Softer compound provides better initial bite than metallic.
- Quiet, no really, they are very quiet.
- Easy and quick to “bed in.”
- Less brake fade than resin pads.
- Not as strong in wet and sloppy conditions, but still provide great initial bite.
- May not last as long as metallic, but lasts way longer than resin.
Metallic Pads (aka Sintered):
- Harder compound lacks initial bite, but provides max stopping power under heavy load.
- Long lasting.
- Take a longer time to “bed in.”
- Can be noisy if it’s wet.
- Good heat transfer and better on long downhills.
- Good for cold weather, mud and wet conditions.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match your pads either. I often run metallic up front and ceramic in the rear. If you have a lot of long hills your area, we suggest reaching for the Metallic compound. If you braking is quick or you’re in a relatively flat area, we suggest the Ceramic.
