1299 Front Brake Pad Recommendations?

Hawk · Feb 7, 2020

Just needed to replace mine. I am in US so that limits my options somewhat...

I ride 90% Street so I don't need anything super aggressive. I like something with good not extreme initial bite that is easy to modulate. I don't like pads that are mushy all the way through the lever.

If mostly street check out SBS pads .. RS series .. Carbonne Lorraine XBK are also great. You just bought yours with low miles. Why you need pads already?

Because they are making noise slowing down at low speeds. Another user here advised me that OE pads are noisy when they get close to worn out. They look fine but they like to Groan when slowing down below about 20mph.

Where do you get the SBS pads in the states?

I would like the Ferodo ZRAC sintered racing compound or the Ferodo XRAC Sintered racing compound for the front and the Ferodo HH sintered rear brakes. From what I was told the same company makes them for Ferodo and Brembo but Ferodo sells them for less. The fronts retails for 89.95 a pair and you would need 2 pairs. And the rears retail for 42.95. If youre interested shoot me a PM and I could price them out with a discount. I have them on my BMW S1000RR, BMW S1000R and Ducati 1299

Is the SP series from SBS ok? Says that's the recommended?

I personally think the stock pads are great for the street. If you want a bit more bite then you can get the RC pads. The RC pads are around $60 per side, the SA and SC compounds are like $35 and $45 per side respectively. I believe the SA is the OEM compound but am not 100%certain.
I am currently running XRAC pads on my bike which primarily does track duty. They work okay on the street. I will probably try the zrac next go around. For the price though the Brembo pads purchased anywhere that doesn’t label them Ducati is a pretty good deal.

I am running the 900RS pads on my Tuono. They seem to be the best bang for buck.
