Rear Brake Pad Recommendation?

[1olbull]

In a perfect world we would use the rear often enough to be both front and rear each!
I've gotten very spoiled to abusing the rear more! Also mostly canyon riding so I slam the rear going into a corner so I can drag pegs...
It's all about getting as much crazy fun on a rocket as possible

Slam?

I ended up buying the EBC double sintered. I originally posted about my difficulty in finding a EBC part number for the rear.
I found part numbers for the front, but not the rear. I came across an Amazon part number that was for the rear, but labeled Front in the ad.
I had my local dealer order the correct EBC number for the rear and it is EBC FA630HH
I have installed with no problem. Since it's 40deg today, I'm not able to test ride until warmer weather returns.

Thanks for you suggestions....... Larry

If you're talking about the new 2.5s you'll need to pull the rear wheel. I forget on the 2.3s - been a while.

As others have ssid, I like EBC HH for all my bikes, stop well and last forever

I purchased a used 2022 GT with 25K miles a couple months ago and love it. I've been able to put ~1000 miles on it so far. Given it's a
premium bike, I've been a little disappointed with the performance of the rear brake. Yes, it has had the master cylinder replaced and
I've changed the fluid with a good purge. No air in the line. I'm satisfied with the front dual discs.
Given it's Brembo, I expect the rear to be better. It still has the original brake pads with 25%(?) left.

I'd like to try changing the pads to see if I can get more stopping power in the rear. I don't care about longevity so much as
stopping power. Don't want racing pads because they won't be used at that heat level.
Understand this is very subjective and same as asking about a brand of engine oil one prefers. Everybody has a differing opinion.

Can somebody with experience in this area recommend an appropriate brand/model of pad?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

I’ve used aftermarket Brembo pads, SBS (made in Denmark) and Carbone Lorraine (now called CL) pads made in France, to replace the stock OEM Brembo pads on my two current bikes, and previous 2006 BMW R1200RT.
Far superior across the board in all respects, especially the CL (CBK5 Front, RX3 rear), and SBS pads HS Front, LS Rear).
There are multiple aftermarket Brembo pad compounds, and even more OEM pad compounds specified by the bike manufacturer.
Catalog and good source for SBS.
