    What's better Kevlar or sintered metal brake pads? Organic wear very quickly but less wear on disc correct?

    Also do late 90s/early naughties ktm rear pads fit the wr250/300(the bigger pads/caliper )?

    Cheers

    I always found the kevlar pads have poor braking feel.

    Dunno about the bigger KTM pads but l stick to sintered pads for feel and braking...chews up the disc's more especially in sand riding but then again sand riding chews any pad and disc.

    I switched to EBC red carbon pads on the front (FA181x) and lovin it :thumbsup: great feel and braking power, nice to that rotor too. On the rear I stick with sintered copper pads for the consistent performance in all conditions. The EBC MXS208 includes new pins and clips, work great and don't chew up the rear rotor.
    MXS181 are the front sintered pads with new pins and clips.

    :cheers:

    ps: From EBC, MXS181 (sintered front) fits 94-2012 KTM

    Those red pads are really good! Just wear a little fast.

    Yeh ktm fronts are the same for 20 odd years jus the rear from the late 90/early 00s was wondering if they used the older style big caliper the wr300s run?

    Yup, 208 for the rear, 181 for the front.
