One name always comes to mind when talking about the best in off-road riders and our old friend and long-time EBC outlet in his shops Malcolm Smith is an avid supporter of the EBC Brakes Carbon X Brakes range and has used them for years in Trail and Enduro riding. Also, multi-time champ Randy Hawkins has been a long-time user of EBC carbon based X pads for years.
Although the Carbon X Brakes will not outlast a sintered copper brake pad, it has the unique benefit of lower heat generation and transfer. When riding off-road in fast and dry conditions such a feature is a major benefit. In EBS's years of listening to the faster riders, we have seen cases where the rear brake rotor can be glowing red in night rides which shows just how hot trail braking can get a rotor. Stopping this getting to the bike's hydraulics is greatly assisted by using a carbon-based pad such as the X pad.
- EBC "X" Series carbon brake pads have been the choice of top enduro riders around the world for several years.
- "X" Series brake pads utilize a carbon-graphite formula which reduces heat generation and conduction, helping to keep both the rotor and caliper cool.
- Ideal for hot dry conditions and have been R 90 approved for street use on dual sport motorcycles.
- Includes two brake pads, enough for one caliper.
EBC Carbon X Brakes are coded red in paint finish and are equally happy on an ATV or a MX or Enduro bike and are also used in ATV Sport riding. However, EBC cautions riders using these pads for ATV use, especially on rear rotors, as wear life may be shorter than sintered pads originally installed in the original unit build. With the lower price point compared to sintered, millions of riders still choose the carbon pads. For Street Enduro use, such as the "Paris-Dakar" style adventure bikes for road use, EBC Carbon X Brakes are an ideal choice, it has been R 90 approved on many of such models in Europe and is safe for road use because of its ability to work effectively when hot.
