In road racing, EBC has also been the number one preferred choice of privateer race teams for many years, EBC is a pad people will actually "buy" and as all road racers know, a free pad is one thing but the best is worth paying for if it will help you win races. On the Mountain Bike Scene, thanks to the help of multiple Gold medalist, downhill pro Steve Peat, EBC is the dominating aftermarket supplier, manufacturing Disc Brake Pads for premier mountain bike system builders such as Cannondale, Hope Technology, Magura, Hayes, Avid, Shimano, to mention a few. EBC also manufacture a full range of Kart Pads. Having successfully dominated worldwide with its motorcycle brakes, EBC directed its focus onto the automotive market in the early 90's and quickly made its mark with ranges such as the new R90 approved Ultimax pad range followed by domination in the sport brake market with its Greenstuff Kevlar brakes and Red Ceramic brake pad ranges. The new hybrid range of Yellowstuff pads for track and street were quick to follow along with two ranges of drilled and slotted sport brake rotors. EBC continues to expand its business worldwide on the automotive market and is the brake pad of preference by most online retailers who provide a service for enthusiast drivers who refuse to accept cheap products that fills the shelves of high street stores.
