I threw a set of Galfer pads in mine and have been happy.
Pros: happy with Galfer pads
I run HH Sintered Galfer pads which make a big difference off road.
Pros: big difference off road
I just installed Galfer HH sintered pads and they’ve been solid so far. Definitely an improvement from stock but they were getting pretty worn down
Pros: solid performance, improvement from stock
Go with the Galfer synthetic and that too will be burnt under 4k km, I have changed twice already in 10k.
Cons: burns under 4k km
Mileage: 10000 km
I order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend
Pros: fit well, recommend
Part number: G1652
Galfer pads and rotors. I'm 210lb and can confidently slow down with rival flat mounts and 160mm rotors
Pros: confident slowing
Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.
Pros: more power, better fade resistance
Cons: ok life span
1st step, better pads for more initial bite and overall stopping power. Galfer HH can be had for $80 front and rear, you can spend a lot more on performance/track pads if you want the best.
Pros: more bite, stopping power
I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.
Cons: brakes plateau, ABS trigger
