Product Information

Full details

The EBC GPFAX 724HH racing brake pads are engineered specifically for track-day enthusiasts and competitive motorcycle riders who require immediate, high-bite braking performance. These sintered pads offer superior consistency and fade resistance under heavy loads, though they are optimized primarily for aggressive riding rather than casual, low-speed street commuting.

FAQs

Are these pads suitable for street riding?

While they can be used on the street, they are designed for track performance. They work best once they have reached operating temperature.

Do I need to replace my rotors when switching to GPFAX pads?

If your rotors are in good condition and within service limits, you do not need to replace them, but ensure they are cleaned thoroughly.

How long do these pads typically last?

Longevity depends on riding style, track conditions, and frequency of use; they are designed for durability but will wear faster under extreme racing conditions.

Are these compatible with ABS-equipped bikes?

Yes, they are generally compatible, but high-friction pads can sometimes trigger ABS systems earlier than stock pads.

What is the primary difference between GPFAX and standard street pads?

GPFAX pads use a specialized sintered metallic compound designed to hold high friction levels at extreme temperatures, where street pads might fade.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels 'spongy' after installation

Ensure the braking system is properly bled to remove any trapped air bubbles.

Noise or squealing during light braking

This is common with high-performance sintered pads; ensure the pad clips and backing plates are properly lubricated with high-temperature brake grease.

Reduced initial bite

Perform a proper bed-in procedure to ensure the pad surface has properly mated with the rotor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely strong initial bite for aggressive braking
  • Highly consistent performance across various track temperatures
  • Excellent durability due to high-quality sintered metallic materials
  • Enhanced feedback allows for precise braking control

Cons

  • Not optimized for low-speed, cold street commuting
  • May produce more dust compared to standard organic pads
  • Aggressive material can accelerate rotor wear if not properly maintained

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure your brake rotors are free of contaminants and debris before installation. It is highly recommended to perform a proper bedding-in procedure on the track to transfer a thin layer of friction material onto the rotors, which maximizes grip and longevity. Check your motorcycle's service manual to confirm fitment for the GPFAX724HH part number before purchase. Periodically inspect the pad thickness; replace the pads once the friction material reaches the minimum wear limit defined by your vehicle manufacturer.
