Note to non-UK buyers: Please be aware that the information provided in this listing relates to UK bikes only. While the brake pads listed here may fit your bike, please check with bike's manual for part compatibility before commiting to buy.
The brake pad is one of the most important components in your braking system; it is the part directly responsible for stopping your bike. By design, brake pads are not built to last. Brake pads are soft (from an industrial standpoint), so that they don't erode the rotor when in use. Instead, the friction wears away at the brake pad, which is an easily replaceable part and must be periodically replaced. When using your bike with worn pads then your bike will be braking under metal-on-metal friction which can warp your rotor, damage your brake system and necesitate unnecessary and expensive repairs.
This listing is for
Goldfren sintered rear brake pads for a
Husaberg FS 450 C (06). The EBC reference number for these pads is FA208.
These pads are a direct replacement for your existing brake pads. The images in the gallery above show you the exact pads you will receive. While we aim to ensure that the fitment information in this listing is as accurate as possible, it is nevertheless advisable to visually check the images in the listing against the pads that are currently on your bike. All GOLDfren brake pads are made with sintered metal-ceramic and ceramic-carbon friction materials. Sintered brake pads are a modern technology that provides superior stopping power and longer life compared to other brake pad types (such as carbon-organic, organic, or semi-metallic organic). Designed for both wet and dry applications, sintered pads offer no brake fade when operating at high temperatures and in wet conditions, deliver exceptional braking performance under the most demanding conditions. All materials in sintered pads are lead and asbestos free. Sintered GOLDfren pads feature
- Metal-ceramic, typical iron friction material designed for both dry and wet friction
- High static friction coefficient
- High braking power to 500°C
- Very good binding strength between copper lined steel base plate and friction layer
- Wearing 20% lower when compared to similar competing sintered pads
- Low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material
- Up to three times longer operational life compared to organic and Kevlar composite materials
The characteristic material-specific parameters used in AD GOLDfren pads are
- Specific pressure: P < 5.0 Mpa
- Sliding speed: V < 40 m/s
- Constant maximum temperature: 450°C
- Short time maximum temperature: 700°C
AD GOLDfren pads are optimal for common street riding on scooters, cruisers and street bikes as both front and rear pads. They are recommended for riders that do not ride too hard, but want good stopping power when required. The wearing rate of this compound is 20% lower than other known sintered brake pads in the same category. The AD compound provides low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor and a much quieter braking due to the composite material. Friction materials contain metal-ceramic and typical iron and finer additives are added to the base of the iron compound to achieve optimal friction properties. GOLDfren are a Czech-based company, and began making sintered disc brake pads in 1991. It has since broadened its line to include products for small aircraft, industrial, automotive, mountain bike, and on- and off-road powersports applications. Their emergance as a market leader has since been recognized by the motosport community - GOLDfren now sponsor several world-class motorcycle racers, supplying not just brake pads, but an entire range of products. For street purposes, GOLDfren's products are certified the German testing institute TÜV. The strict German governmental standards offer a reassuring sign of quality of GOLDfren's products.
