According to the product specialist
Pros
Due to the aluminium backplate, these brake pads are more heat resistant than organic brake pads with a steel backplate. |
The brake pads are easy to dose and quick to engage. |
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 sintered brake pads are more wear-resistant. |
Sintered brake pads are better resistant to the heat caused by braking. |
Cons
If you are going to make really long descents, these brake pads can lose braking power because of the heat that comes from braking. |
These pads wear out faster than harder pads. |
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. |
These brake pads can produce more noise during braking. |
Sintered brake pads react slower than softer brake pads. |
