gold fren are ok as are renthal but to be honest you cant beat those proaction ones for the money. they last as well as anything and have good feel and stopping power. genuines are defo not worth that kind of money!

 

Pro action all day long

4500 miles..... i would take them back i got 8166 out of mine.... but i don't use brakes i just use the floor..

 

Proaction are ok at the price. Ktm original ones offer the strongest breaking closely followed by dunlopad. Goldfren have many different grades, they have a chart to show which grade is best for what.

 

Proaction are good value but don't last long at all, I wore brand new set of rears within an hour at my last race,couldn't believe it!

 

SBS are alright, original KTM are best but only with a as new condition disc, waste of money buying them for worn discs.

 

Pro action for cheap throwaway for events, brembo for longevity trail riding

 

At Witley! Mick have a look at my rear brake it's not working! That's cos you've no kin pads you berk!

 

i used the proaction at the snowrun and they lasted ok but that is not sandy going. i fitted new pads for witley as its abrasive there. i know the brake jammed on for a bit and used some up but as soon as it started raining it destroyed the pads to nothing. forgot to add that in my report. also thought it would be unfair slagging them off as the brake did jam on for a bit so it wasn't a true test. my dunlopad fronts are still good to go after three races including witley.

I keep saying this all pads wear quick in the conditions this time of year
But I've tested lots of pads and proaction are jus as good as any and in most cases better in my opinion
I will fit a new set before a race but can get 3 good practices out of them even in this mud
Give them a try Jeremy is a fantastic bloke who provides great products fantastic prices and unbeatable service and customer care.

I also did a virtually new set of rear pads at the Witley event, but stupidly I should've used my solid disc not the vented.

Using a solid disc makes a huge difference on pad wear.

I've been using the Proaction pads for a long time now and they perform consistently well, unless I use a vented disc in winter.

This comes down to disc and can't be blamed on the pad in my opinion.

 

I ve been using pro action in all weathers, sand at deep dale was a pad killer, but solid disc helped loads.
Four races &1practice session & still plenty of life left at racing expert vet level.
Bargain in my book

 

Buy a solid rear disc. The pads last longer and brakes are better if anything.

 

SBS for me are excellent, check you don't have issue elsewhere if nothing seems to work !

 

I've used Braking discs front & rear from mile zero & the braking was excellent & not grabby like others found with the standard discs (which I still have). With this combination i've not had a problem until needing new rear pads. Lots of suppliers don't specify the CoF & if i'd known that the SBS pads that I bought were GF rated beforehand I wouldn't have bought them. I've now got some Braking HH pads from Talon Engineering, so will report back how well these last.

Demon Tweeks sell Armstrong HH pads, as well as RFX & Viper, but as I said above, they don't specify the CoF
