EBC Long-Life Sintered R-Series
Many of us enjoy riding off road with trying to be Malcolm Smith and getting the brakes red hot. For that group the R series pads are an ideal choice for Off Road Riding.
R series pads are also designed for minimum rotor abrasion and will not damage your bikes brake rotors.
Sintered copper brakes are made by one of two processes, pressure sintering in a vacuum furnace or sintering through a belt furnace in a controlled atmosphere. The steel backing plates for the brake pads are copper coated and a preformed sintered copper “Puck” is located onto pips in the plate (either male or female) and the parts are passed through a furnace. At a pre-determined temperature the copper coating under the pad puck melts and fused the puck and plate together.
