Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between semi-sintered and full sintered pads?
Semi-sintered (like FA78V) offers a softer initial bite and feel closer to organic pads, with better modulation on street bikes and touring applications.
Will these reduce brake dust compared to my old pads?
Yes — the copper-sintered compound produces significantly less dust than full sintered pads, keeping your wheels cleaner.
Are these suitable for my touring bike?
Yes — EBC designed the V-Series specifically for larger touring bikes needing stable, consistent braking with minimal wear.
Do I need to bed in new brake pads?
Yes — perform progressive braking stops before hard riding to seat the pads onto your rotors and establish maximum friction.
