EBC Standard Semi-Sintered Metal Pads (V-Series) EBC Semi-standard (V-Series) Sintered Metal Pads are organic aramid brake pads with 30% copper content for Cruisers, Big Twins and Touring bikes. These coatings are six times stronger than steel and are made entirely of asbestos. Medium-high coefficient of friction ensures high braking force over a wide range of temperatures. The high braking force caused minimal wear on the brake pad and disc. EBC Standard Semi- sintered metal pads (V-series) are TÜV and have an ABE!
