Twist that loud handle like you mean it, but just make sure you can safety stop with motorcycle brake pads available now at Cycle Gear. Even the very best motorcycle brake pads -- as long-lasting and performance-oriented as they are -- are still consumables that should be proactively replaced. This present a great opportunity for a DIY job at home and our friends at Common Tread have just the information you need to crack on with it.

Pads that Perform

If you’re hearing (or feeling) a grinding noise from your calipers, it’s time to get going with a motorcycle brake pad change. The material used for the pads themselves, be it  sintered, semi-sintered and organic, doesn’t last forever no matter the thickness. Each does offer different levels of longevity as well as performance and feel so shop accordingly. Riders who are just looking for replacements can consider OEM or equivalent pads while those in need of better brake feel and stopping power can consider upgrading to more performance-oriented pads. No matter the route you take, you’ll find offerings from leading brands like Brembo, EBC, Galfer Braking Systems, Twin Power and more.

Plenty to Pick from at Cycle Gear

It doesn't matter if you are shaving off speed before dipping into apexes at your track day or if you are cruising down Main Street, replacement brake pads for your motorcycle are part of regular maintenance. The products you’ll find here are built to last so contact our Customer Service crew with any questions and get back on the road in short order.
