All Lyndall brake pads are organic, non-sintered compounds. Lyndall brake pads are available in three different compounds that cater to different riding styles and environments. All three compounds are guaranteed for 18,000 miles. A step up in performance is the Gold+. This pad has 20% more stopping power than a stock pad and is half the weight. Runs cooler, with little to no noise or dust. Our Gold Plus compound has the highest customer satisfaction and will provide a noticeable increase in stopping power. This compound works great with stock rotors. Ideal for touring models, those riding with a passenger, riding in mountainous areas, or on bikes with performance upgrades. Note: If you are using gold Lyndall rotors, you must use Lyndall Gold Plus brake pads, as they will protect the gold finish on your Lyndall rotor and will provide excellent stopping power.
