Kenma Australia: Bendix Sintered Pads

Bendix sintered brake pads are designed for use where above average stopping power is required. Remember, serious going power requires serious stopping power. There are four categories of sintered pads, including racing types.

High Performance Road - MF/MR Compound

Bendix's Supersport range of pads are appropriate for today's high powered road bikes, and the demanding rider. Supersport pads are suitable as OEM replacement parts and are available for both front and rear wheel applications. No matter what riding conditions you are in, you can rely on Bendix pads to bring you faithfully to a stop when and where you want. These pads provide excellent performance through the unique formula system, using a very high friction level for the front and a medium level at the back. This provides well balanced braking performance. Bendix sintered pads are competitively priced, kind on disc rotors whether cast iron or stainless steel and provide good wear rates.

Motor-cross/Enduro/ATV - MO/MOA Compound

These pads are appropriate for today's large and small off-road bikes, motor-cross and ATVs, and of course, the demanding rider. The MX/ATV range of sintered metal pads are suitable as OEM replacement parts and can be used for front or rear wheel calipers. These pads provide very good braking performance at low and medium to high temperatures along with excelllent wear rates. The MOA compound has been designed specifically for non-stainless ATV rotors as used by Polaris and Arcticat. No matter how comfortable you are in the mud, make sure your brakes can cope - rely on Bendix.

Road and Endurance Racing - MRR Compound

Bendix's road and endurance racing pads are designed specifically to meet the extreme demands of motorcycle racing. These pads are suitable only for front wheel applications. Racers should use either MA, MR or MCR compound pads for rear wheel applications. MRR compound pads provide superb braking performance with very high initial bite as they retain some heat, even with infrequent applications. They are also friendly to rotors and provide good wear for racing pads.

This compound is particularly good for race tracks or climatic conditions where the brakes can cool down a lot, which can cause braking problems with other compounds. Bendix pads are used by top racers throughout the world - surely they can't all be wrong. If you race your bike to the max, get it to stop to the max as well, get Bendix.

These sintered race pads are designed specifically to meet the special demands of motor-cross and off-road racing. These pads are designed to fit either front or rear wheel applications and will give you excellent braking performance, low rotor wear whilst providing good pad life. Bendix racing pads will help you get nearer the pointy end of the field even when you can't see your arse from your elbow... Used by top racers world wide, they'll help you get the results.
