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.
-
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.
-
These brake pads can produce more noise during braking.
Sintered brake pads react slower than softer brake pads.
