EBC Organic Brake Pads

Europe's first and only ECE R90 approved pad. These pads brake as well as sintered pads, as proved by R90 compliance.

Made in our own factory in Bristol, England, the EBC Kevlar® series has now been renamed NAO series or Non-Asbestos Organic, although we still use the famous Dupont Kevlar® fibre in conjunction with other high tech fibres that have come on the market. The NAO series are a superb all round value-for-money replacement for all levels of motorcycle and are still extremely popular with many riders who prefer the "feel" of organic pads. NAO series are fully TUV tested and KBA certified and conform to the new ECE R90 brake regulations which are about to storm the European market. EBC is at the forefront of this technology and will be the first on the market to offer Reg. 90 approved pads and packaging. Most EBC organic pads have expansion grooves which reduce noise and prevent cracking. The aramid fibre compound with non-ferrous particles helps to prevent surface "scorching" under load.

NOW ECE R90 APPROVED

What does R90 mean? Cheap and nasty motorcycle brakes are the quickest way to an accident no matter where or how you ride.

EBC Brakes welcomes the new legislation on ECE R90 brake safety testing that shuts the door on unworthy parts. Until recently all EBC Brakes were tested by the notorious German TUV test centres and carried the KBA (German Motor Vehicle Organisation) certification number. EBC Brakes is pleased to announce that after extensive multi-model testing at the MIRA (Motor Industries Research Association) test track located at Nuneaton, UK, that both EBC Kevlar® organic pads and EBC Double-H sintered pads have been approved.

NEW for 2008

The Ultimate Brake Pads for Cruisers

The very latest in sintered friction pad technology is now available from EBC Brakes to deliver more stopping power, totally silent braking and longer life. If you want the best and are prepared to spend a few dollars more for superb brakes, EPFA pad series are what you need.

The new American made EPFA series feature a blend of tungsten and moly metal and were developed after comparing with 7 major competitors products. A graph of the performance over our 400 stop dyno test shown below indicated the massive consistency and stability that this new pad compound offers.

WITH VENT GROOVE to prevent backplate deflection and possible de-bond. EBC uses a wide moulded vent groove dividing the pad compact into two separate pucks, ideal for designs with thin back plates such as the FA400 and FA434.

Pad debond can happen after corrosion gets under the edges of your pads, EBC have a unique way to prevent this by using non corrosive elements in the pad matrix that do not interact with the steel backing plates and using its revolutionary DOUBLE COMPACT system, which prevents backplate flexion and edge lifting which leads to pad de bond.

GLYCOL DOT-4 Brake Fluid

GLYCOL BF-307

SILICONE DOT-5 Brake Fluid

General purpose glycol fluid with wet boiling point of 260°C/500°F for most modern motorcycle and automotive brake systems. CANNOT be mixed with Dot 5 silicone fluids.

A highly refined DOT 4 based Glycol fluid that has less tendency to cause vapour lock. Please remember that once you open this container it will start to degrade so it is important to use it, seal your vehicles brake system and discard the remainder of the can due to shelf life issues. CANNOT be mixed with Dot 5 silicone fluids.

Unlike Glycol fluids, silicone does not damage or stain paintwork and is fitted to some high quality US built motorcycles. It is IMPERATIVE to check your owners manual and NOT to mix this fluid with Glycol fluids (as above) otherwise damage can occur to hydraulic seals and your entire brake system.
