Poll of Brake Pads

[David.]

If mixed, what are they F&R.

[smileymiley]

Only voted BMW OEM, as bike under warranty,  Have got a set of EBC's in the garage which will be next on. Had them on every other bike with no complaints.

[David.]

To maintain the T&C's of the BMW Insured Warranty, the Brembo "Genuine" pads could be used.

Quote from the BMW IW policy handbook, "Genuine parts, or parts of equivalent specification must be used".

I understand what you're saying but it's just BMW jacking up prices for no performance gain over other as good products.

[David.]

A set of BMW OEM pads are £234.33.

Brembo "Genuine" pads at full price are £189.00.

Brembo "Premium" pads are £94.30.

It's hard to believe that there is no difference between the two Brembo products, one of which is twice the price of the other.

This ^^^^ and if you believe anything else? you've either got to much money or you're stupid

A full set of double sintered EBC, front and rear, equaled price of just one disc worth of BMW's. Seems to stop just as well.

Use brembo better than rest because there red and everybody knows red brakes are  better

Bullshit! Was the cry from the audience everyone in Manchester knows anything with Red on it is second best

EBC Pads

[Stu]

EBC for me

[Steve398]

Out of choice I’d use the pads that Brembo recommended -

Road Long Life Sintered Front Brake Pads - 07BB38LA
Brembo Road Sintered Rear Brake Pads - 07BB03SP,
A total of £75.72 for the full set.

But as I have a spare set of EBC’s that I’ve acquired they’re next.
