*_Which pads do you ride? And which pads are you wanting to try?_*

Huge respect to the artist who decorated the table for this presentation.

I live in Southern California and all my riding consists of slow climbs to the top so I can ride the long steep descents. I've been running ceramic for over a year now and are my favorite out of them all.

MTX Red Labels give Sram stoppers just that little extra bite when over cookin" it into a corner. Would highly recommend picking up a pair from Mike and the guys, great customer service🤘🏼

I just put MTX red on my bike and it feels so much better than the stock pads that came with my bike. The silence of the pads is also a win.

We are missing a very important safety part here. Cheaper brakes like MT200 are not compatible with metallic pads, they don't have ceramic pistons to contain heat so your oil will start boiling on long descends up to the failure point. Never put metallic pads on your brakes if they are not designed for it if do any serious mountain riding.

Thanks for the info! Been riding for 15 years and just bought my first set of organic pads as that's all the shop had and had no idea what the difference actually was

I run MTX Gold on the ebike 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Tor does a good job of explaining things.

Very informative! Anyone that rides motorcycles can follow this same advice, as the compounds are the exactly the same and serve the same purpose. The only exception, there's also the option of "Carbon Graphite" pads for MX bikes!

Very well done Tor.

Sintering does not involve any liquid material. In this case it is powdered metal that is subjected to pressure to make a pad.

Good stuff! Tor is a great presenter keep it up my dudes

Excellent information del8vered superbly

I got the MTX Red for Shimano and for sure better braking power than the Shimano ones. HOWEVER, in wet conditions they are LOUD. Total the opposite of what they saying that are less loud than the organic ones. I have been using it for more than 6 months actually and still doing it. But in dry conditions, MTXs are the BEST!

Great video. Very thorough and well explained. Thanks!

I'm not a fan of, in my experience, the lack of initial bite of the metallic pads. Once they warm up, they're awesome. Organic pads just don't last for me and I've experienced brake fade with them when riding DH. MTX reds pads are AMAZING! That's all I use and recommend nowadays... *currently running Zee calipers with Saint levers

Very helpful concise vid. Greatly appreciated 👍

Great and thanks you answer my questions about switching compounds. I will be switching from organic and giving the ceramic a good try!

I use MTX Gold and Red. I've tried all different compounds and most aftermarket options. MTX work the best for me.

Great information and professional video. Thank you.

Thought I would know everything covered in this video but I never knew about ceramic pads. Interesting. Thank you.

Metallic up front, organic on the rear. Super late braking and manual all day!

you are starting to make professional journalist video content.. keep it up!🤘🤘🤘🤘

I've just bought some ceramic brake pads for my ebike a week ago. They still haven't arrived, but they should be ALOT better than the resin i've been running. For an ebike that weighs around 60kg, they need last a bit longer than the resin ones. Also that they're prone to glazing also helps with wheelies.

I Have MTX Reds in the Back and Golds In Front . I Think i will buy 2 sets of Reds Next 😎 They Work Excellent 😀

great vid bro

For sure MTX red ....

Great vid, like this presenter

Shimano XTR J04C BR-M9000 XTR, they don't make any noise.

Which discipline you ride also matters. In DH you’ll be braking a *lot* 😅 while XC trails will keep you climbing much of the time and not touching your brakes. As an XC rider, I get decent longevity on resin.

I have been using MTX pads for the past year both Red and Gold. Riding Park and steeper trails as well as XC these pads are superior to Shimano in terms of performance and pad life.

I ride XC in dry conditions. Minimal sketchy downhill runs. Resin for me.

My Shimano "resin" pads are the same thing as "organic" ? And for most modulation ceramics would work best ? Current ones bite like crazy if I am on one wheel and brake 🤦‍♂My old ones, Magura rim / v-brake hidraulic ones had nice modulation.

Trickstuff Power all the way. Enduro magazine testet them and they give codes about 20% more power over the metallic pads.

I run organic in the front and metal in the back

1:04 No, sintering is turning metal particles into a solid compound through heat and pressure WITHOUT melting. Please get your definitions right, there are engineers in your audience that get kind of annoyed about this stuff.

Organic pads are a must for poaching trails in areas where bikes don’t have equitable access. There are some places where riding quiet is important.😮

Can I run ceramics on 'resin only' rotors?

so running a 90 lb bike with a 150 lb load and a 200 lb bloke and run up to 30 mph what would u get in traffic on streets wet in winter dry summer

That was “super”

Getting new rotors - the hope ones . So the metallic ones are going to wear out / ruin my rotors ?

I just wish I could find some Shimano D02s pads somewhere

Braking with metallic pads❌️ Braking with metal✅️

I went from resin to metallic pads on my Mt200s and the difference was extremely noticeable, in a good way. With the resin pads I really had to squeeze on the brakes levers to get any type of stopping power, but with the metallic pads I barely have to squeeze the lever and I'm getting great stopping power. i also notice that the lever pull distance shortened when i switched to metallic. I don't know if this is due to my resin pads being thinner or worn out but there was and still is definitely a noticeable difference in lever travel. on another note I've seen some companies on Amazon selling Copper brake pads, which I'm assuming would be a bit softer than metallic but last longer then resin? Has anyone had any experience with copper pads?

if your bike came with organic pads can you put metal pads on. will they be compatibale with the original discs

Which pads are less susceptible to howling? Or is there any difference? Online consensus seems to say ceramic are quieter? But, I'm not sure if that is referring to the brake howling issue. I'm not sure what type I have on my front caliper, but they are howling badly. I have just tried a product called 'Squeal Out' cleaned the rotors and pads, and they are still noisy. So, I am now thinking about putting new pads on, and am wondering if ceramic are less susceptible to this very annoying issue? To get rid of this noise I would even consider switching back to rim brakes, but I have too much invested in the disc brake set up, including two high end disc brake wheel sets. Any help would be appreciated. I am riding a lighweight XC race bike on moderately technical xc trails.

Good video! But don't take a shot of whiskey every time he says the word 'super' or you won't finish the video super sober 😉👍

What would you recommend for an ebike with magura mt7 pro. Fast DH and enduro

Does it even matter on MTBs? It's not like you're trying to pull 80 horses and 170kg of metal to a stop.

Easily ceramic wins. Brings my 28mph electric mountain bike to a stop very quickly.
