Indian Motorcycle Brake Pads

For most riders, the way that their bike goes is much more important than the way it stops. However, there is always an element of danger that comes with riding a motorcycle, and you should always be ready to react to the emergency situation in front of you and keep your machine in control. Of course, this requires certain physical and driving skills, especially in the case of bikes not equipped with ABS, but the braking system is what actually brings your motorcycle to a complete stop. Its condition can make a difference between staying safe and having a serious fall. When it’s about time to replace brake pads on your Indian, there are many options to consider.

Some of the brake pads available on the market restore the OE-like stopping power, while others have higher friction levels and can offer longer rotor life, noise-free performance, and other benefits. Depending on the friction material used, they fall into organic, sintered (metallic), and ceramic categories, but there are also ‘hybrid’ types available, such as semi-metallic pads. The majority of bikes roll off the factories with sintered pads installed, which are good for average and moderately challenging conditions. Multiple upgrade options are offered, including organic friction linings that use aramid fibers for lasting durability and progressive brake feel. You’ll find them all in our product selection.
