GPVN Formula Cura 4 Brake Pads

Need a fresh set of pads for your Formulas??

StaticMoto is the right place with cheaper prices compared to other companies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Compound Differences

Power
Resin tend to have slightly more bite when cold than Metallic. Metallic perform better at higher temperatures, i.e. very long descents

Modulation
Resin have a progressive feel whereas Metallic are more on/off. It is easier to crawl down steep things without skidding with Resin

Durability
For a given amount of riding you would use roughly 3 pairs of Resin pads to each pair of Metallic

Noise
Resin are very quiet, Metallic are always a bit noisier. At high temperatures, or in the wet, Metallic sometimes screech (you know the sound)

Wet riding
Metallic tend to outperform Resin in the wet

Fade
Brake fade is the reduction in stopping power that occurs when brakes are very hot. Resin tend to fade at lower temperature than Metallic. That said, with these Resin pads we haven't been able to get fade in any situation - including the infamous Mt Oxford descent!

Rotor Wear Rate
Resin pads cause lower wear to your rotor than Metallic pads

Total Ongoing Costs
Even after accounting for the lower rotor wear rate from Resin pads, Metallic pads will cost you about half as much as Resin pads in the long term for total brake maintenance costs
