According to the product specialist
Pros
-
Heat dissipation is improved thanks to the cooling fins. |
These organic brake pads produce very little noise. |
These brake pads respond quickly and are easy to modulate. |
These brake pads are very resistant to heat generated by long descents. |
These brake pads are very wear resistant. |
Cons
-
Although heat dissipation is improved due to the cooling fins, these resin brake pads are more sensitive to heat than brake pads with a (semi-)metallic compound. |
Sintered brake pads have a slower engagement than organic brake pads. |
