Take you to understand the performance indicators of motorcycle brake pads
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the motorcycle industry is also developing rapidly. The power is getting stronger and stronger. Stopping in a very short time and distance is a priority for a mature rider, and the brake pads play a vital role as the last hurdle in the braking system. At present, there are many kinds of brake pad brands at home and abroad, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. How should riders choose brake pads that are easy to use and suitable for them.
General situation of the industry: Compared with the automobile industry, the volume of motorcycles is still much smaller, so the brake pads of well-known brands are basically transferred from the automobile industry or covered by the motorcycle industry. At present, the Europeans are still the most knowledgeable in the field of tribology. The domestic basic industry is still weak compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States. Although there are many brake pad brands, there are very few companies that really make motorcycle brake pads. With the growth of the motorcycle accessories market, it's no surprise that chaos abounds.
First understand the performance indicators of the brake pads:
1. Friction: the friction between the brake pad and the brake disc
2. Bite force: the performance of the brake pads to bite the brake disc
3. Thermal fading resistance: thermal fading resistance after continuous braking
4. High temperature performance: Braking performance when the temperature of brake pads and brake discs is extremely high.
5. Braking comfort: Braking linearity, the accuracy of braking operation, a simple understanding is how much braking force is applied to the hand (or foot).
6. Braking performance in wet and rainy days: the braking performance of brake pads and brake discs after being exposed to water.
7. Brake pad life: There is loss of friction between the brake pad and the brake disc, and the life cycle of the brake pad.
8. Brake disc life: the impact of brake pads on the life cycle of brake discs.
