Product Information

Full details

The SBS 791CS carbon compound brake pads are engineered specifically for amateur motocross enthusiasts looking to enhance their bike's braking control and thermal stability. These pads provide superior modulation and immediate stopping power, making them ideal for navigating technical trails or high-speed tracks with confidence. While they offer excellent durability under stress, users should be aware that high-performance racing compounds often require a proper bedding-in period to reach their full potential.

FAQs

Are these brake pads suitable for road racing?

These pads are specifically designed for off-road and motocross use, where carbon compounds provide the best performance for those specific conditions.

How often should I replace my SBS brake pads?

Frequency depends on riding intensity and conditions, but check them after every 5-10 hours of use or if you notice reduced braking performance.

Can I use these pads on old rotors?

While compatible, using new pads on deeply grooved or worn rotors is not recommended as it will lead to uneven wear and poor performance.

Do I need special tools to install them?

Standard motorcycle maintenance tools, such as socket wrenches and a piston spreader or C-clamp, are generally sufficient.

Why is the bedding-in process important?

Bedding-in transfers a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor, which optimizes friction and extends the life of both the pad and the disc.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or soft

Bleed the brake lines to remove any trapped air and check for hydraulic fluid leaks.

Brakes squeal during low-speed stops

Ensure the anti-rattle clips are positioned correctly and check that the rotor surface is clean and not excessively worn.

Reduced stopping power

Check the pads for glazing; if glazed, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper or inspect if the pad material is fully worn down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior heat resistance prevents brake fade.
  • Precise modulation for better trail control.
  • Durable construction suitable for intense amateur racing.
  • Immediate braking response upon lever engagement.

Cons

  • Requires a bedding-in process to ensure optimal performance.
  • Specific to off-road and motocross applications.
  • Performance may vary if not paired with clean, well-maintained rotors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the SBS 791CS pads should be performed by someone familiar with motorcycle brake systems. Start by removing the brake caliper and cleaning the surrounding area to prevent debris from entering the system. Once the old pads are removed, inspect the caliper pistons for dirt; use a mild brake cleaner if necessary.

After installing the 791CS pads, always perform a bedding-in procedure: complete several gentle stops to allow the pad surface to mate perfectly with the rotor surface. Avoid heavy braking during the first few miles of operation to glaze-proof the surface. Regularly check the pad wear levels after every few rides, especially after muddy or sandy events.
