Maybe you could do a brake pad review for normal road riding. Many riders never do track days but would still like the best stopping power for everyday conditions.
I bought some many years ago for my 05 gsxr 1000. They performed amazing and held up extremely well. Just bought some for my new 18 gsxr 1000R. I hope they perform as amazing as before
The EPFA are good, but the GPFAX is holy sh*t hold on good. These pads transform the braking performance of the S1000R / S1000XR that have been using the same Brembo brake calipers since 2015 or so. I have had newer bikes with Stylema calipers which are phenomenal, but the older caliper with race pads is as good as anything else I've tried (not talking about "feel," but outright performance).
I've used HH pads on my previous bike, they were good, definitely better than the OEM pads. I understand the EPFA pads are a step above and classified as suitable for use on public roads. I guess what I'm wondering is are the EPFA pads always going to be better on public roads in all situations or are the HH pads better in some situations? fwiw it's a sport bike with Suzuki/brembo OEM sintered pads at the moment, whatever they are.
In my experience I prefer the EPFA pads for street riding over the standard HH pads. They bite hard when cold but probably not quite as hard as the HH do right off the bat. It's not a huge difference, though. Once warm, which doesn't take long, they are better in every way, providing confidence inspiring, fade free braking. I have never encountered a situation where they didn't provide enough stopping power for lack of heat. Hope this helps. I would consider myself a fast road rider and I have 45 years of street riding experience. I recommend the EPFA pads.
I brought the ebc HH front pads for road use and occasional track days for my zx10r at first I thought they needed break in as the original Kawasaki pads were so much better I thought they would get better but didn't I'm not happy with them i need to swap them out as they don't give me the breaking performance or the confidence in stopping power I was really hoping for a lot more from ebc and when you try to contact EBC by email your email just gets blocked really disappointed as it's supposed to be a big reputable company 😔
Hi Jason, so sorry to hear about this. What email address have you been trying to contact? We suggest you send an email to biketechnical@ebcbrakesuk.com if you haven't already so we can try to resolve this. Thanks!
I bought cheapest brake pads possible (like 4 dollars each) and i was bit late breaking and in second turn they melted and lost power so dont skimp on pads guys
nice informative video and isnt just saying buy this pad it is gonna make you fast.

Buy the HH if you’re a road rider, or the EPFA if you’re a fast road rider.
@@flamintasty I agree.

I got ebc hh. Lots of power and quiet

Love it! Thank you :)
Great video, I’ve had my eye on some GPFAX pads for a while now so will try them!
I use the GPFAX pads in my Triumph T160 & Rob North, bloody fantastic !
Great to hear!!

@@CC-xu2yz That's exactly what I was wondering thank you.
Hello, just wondering, did you try to pull your ABS fuse?
Start with high temp brake fluid.
Sir tell me the pure track oriented brake pads (GPFAX , EPFA or double sintered)
Hi, GPFAX are our track oriented brake pads and are not road legal, EPFA are also track oriented and they are road legal.
Where can I purchase a set of EPFA break pads in the US?
Hi, please see this link here: ebcbrakes.com/motorcycle/
Amazon, eBay, Revzilla, Cycle Gear, Rocky Mountain ATV, etc.

My Yellowstuff Bakepads Glassed so fast when they got real hot 🥲
Good morning, it will be a good idea to email technical@ebcbrakesuk.com with a bit more information and they can help with that one.
@@EBCBrakesUK how comes when I contact ebc my email just gets blocked ?
