EBC Carbon X or TT Brakes
EBC Brakes™ Carbon X or TT brake pads are suitable for either street or off-road use.
They are created from impregnated hybrid carbon to give medium lifetime and a cool disc braking temperature.
Although the Carbon X or TT Brakes will not outlast a sintered copper brake pad it has the unique benefit of lower heat generation and transfer.
When riding off road in fast dry conditions such a feature is a major benefit.
In our years of listening to the faster riders we have seen cases where the rear brake rotor can be glowing red in night rides which shows just how hot trail braking can get a rotor.
Stopping this getting to the bikes hydraulics is greatly assisted by using a carbon-based pad such as the X or TT pad.
In Europe these pads are selected by adding the suffix TT to the part number and in the USA by adding the letter X after the FA (Freeman Automotive) series part number.
EBC Carbon X or TT Brakes are coded red in paint finish and is equally happy on an ATV or a Moto X or Enduro bike and is also used in ATV Sport riding.
However, we caution riders using these pads in ATV use especially on rear rotors as wear life may be shorter than sintered pads originally installed in the original unit build.
With the lower price point compared to sintered, millions of riders still choose the carbon pads. For Street Enduro use such as the “Paris-Dakar” style DR bikes for road use EBC Carbon X or TT Brakes are an ideal choice, it has been R 90 approved on many of such models in Europe and is safe for road use because of its ability to work effectively when hot.
For several years now this successful carbon graphite formula has been the choice of top enduro and moto-x riders for certain conditions around the world.
The main advantage of this type of material is its lack of heat generation or conduction, which keeps both the rotor and caliper cool.
Top Enduro and Hare Scrambles USA riders prefer this material for fast and dry riding conditions. The material is also very useable for standard sport ATV usage. Also TUV tested and KBA approved for street use on enduro bikes.
The TT series or X pads do not last as long as a sintered pad but are a strong favorite amongst Enduro riders due to their low heat transfer.
