Brake Pads in use around the world

I installed the SBS Street Excel 657LS pads on my XL750 on June 2, and while it's still early, they've gone through the break-in period—so this might be as good as they get. In dry conditions, they perform well with strong and smooth braking. But in rain or when cold, the initial bite isn’t as sharp, which affects braking confidence. Also, it squeaks but does not bother me much really. Compared to the OEM pads, these don’t quite match the consistent performance across different weather. They might be fine for fair-weather commuting, but for my riding mix, I’ll be exploring other options next time. But I will make it last.View Detail

I tried the SBS Street Ceramic 638HF Brake Pads on my Kawasaki Z400, and honestly, they didn’t quite live up to expectations. The compound felt too soft for my riding style, particularly during spirited rides. Compared to the OEM pads, the SBS ceramics lacked the same initial bite and overall braking confidence. In wet or colder weather, performance dropped even further, which made aggressive stops feel less secure. Durability was another drawback—they wore out noticeably faster than the stock pads, which had better longevity even with similar use. For casual city commuting, they might do the job, but for riders who lean into corners and demand consistent performance, especially in varied conditions, they’re simply not enough. I won’t be buying them again for my setup.View Detail

Another set of dual carbon for the Ducati 750 MONSTER, this bike does tend to go through pads fairly rapidly for obvious reasons. A dual carbon pad would not be my first choice for the road and not a track bike, but the customer wanted these so who am I to argue. Finding the correct part was pretty easy as I visited SBS website and put my model details in for the Ducati 750 MONSTER. Webike had these in stock and so ordered with a few other parts. The shipping was fast and via EMS, delivered to me in 7 days. All was packed really well and did not move during transit, no damage at all. They were nice and clean upon arrival, with no obvious contaminants. I fitted these and took the bike for a short spin. Yes, they do take a little time to bed into the discs but first impressions are positive. I'm sure the customer will be happy and hopefully, they will last a little longer than previous pads. Thanks Webike. View Detail

This bike came in for a service and to sort out new pads front and rear. The customer decided they would try the SBS sintered pads for a change and to see if they lasted and felt any better than the stock ones previously fitted. Usually on these bigger bikes, the front need changing twice as often as the rear anyway but the rear was not changed last service, so it was time. Finding the right ones was easy but checking on SBS's own website pulled up the right ones. Luckily, they had a set in their warehouse and so added to my order. Even the 2 sets were almost half the price of the genuine BMW ones. EMS shipped my order and all arrived in perfect condition in 5 days from being shipped. Everything was well padded out in the box so there was no damage. These pads are SBS so I know these are cracking pads for this bike. Plus, the pads do last quite a while, probably longer than these should have as the customer clearly prefers the front brake to the rear. The pad material is even and looks pretty tasty for this big bike. Perhaps not as smoothly sintered as I have previously had but they do have some heavy compound in them. Very happy customer and thank you once again Webike for doing a great job. View Detail

This was a set for the R1200GS of a customer who wanted to try the SBS brand for themselves. Although this is a large powered bike, obviously it will not be going near a track. So these will be great for the bike. Finding the correct part was pretty easy as I visited SBS website and put my R1200GS model details in. Webike had these in stock and so ordered with a few other parts. The shipping was fast and via EMS, delivered to me in 7 days. All was packed really well and did not move during transit, no damage at all. The pads came in their own SBS branded packet and arrived with no chips or any visual damage at all. The sintered material looks really coarse so no doubt they will stop the bike when needed. They were fitted really easily and without a hitch. After speaking to the bike owner a few days later, they confirmed they have a great initial bite even for the rear was brilliant and with no ill effects. All in all, very pleased with these pads. I look forward to trying them on my own bikes. Thanks Webike. View Detail

[How is it used?
I destroyed the return of the Brake switch that was originally attached to the YAMAHA/TZr50R during Restore.
Replaced with a new one. Compatible part number is 3MW-83980-00.

How was your experience with it?
It's working fine
Installation is also easy, as it is simply attached to the Master Cylinder.

How did it compare to other products?
It is very helpful that OEM parts are still available due to the lack of Other Brand Products.View Detail

Purchased for regular replacement.
If it were a little cheaper, I could get a stable replacement...View Detail

The CBR650R is mounted at the same position angle as the NORMAL.
However, when the handlebar was cut to the Left lock, it interfered with the interior cover next to the Meter, so the interior cover was cut away.
I also purchased a 45° angled banjo adapter for the mesh hose to accommodate the tension of the mesh hose.
・NORMAL (Reserve integrated horizontal master) Impressions of
No complaints on public roads. Familiar feel and very easy to handle.
However, when the brake is set to "hard brake," the rate of increase in braking force relative to the input seems to decrease, and the brake becomes more forceful.
Radipon (Reserve separate body portrait master) Impressions of
It was totally different from what I expected, my expectation was that it would feel like a Rear brake…
It is really a mild and easy-to-handle radipon.
On public roads, it feels like NORMAL! I wonder if it's because NORMAL is the same NISSIN?
But I felt the radipon effect from Breaking a little stronger, and
It can be hung up to a hard brake without effort.
I felt trust that this could stop.View Detail
