Although the carbon pads 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 dry conditions such a feature is a major benefit. In all of the years listening to the faster riders, EBC 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 bikes hydraulics is greatly assisted by using a Carbon based pad such as the X pad.
The EBC X pad is coated red in paint finish and is equally happy on an ATV or a Moto X or enduro bike and is also used in ATV sport riding. 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 bikes for road use the EBC X pad is 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.
