ATV Brake Pads & Shoes

We demand a lot from our ATV brake pads and shoes with all the abuse they see from mud and water to dust and rocks. It’s important to always have pads with enough material left to provide with stopping power when you need it most. With the amount of abuse, you need to stay on top of the wear more than a typical automobile. Typical riders of utility wheelers may not need to change their pads for a couple years, while sport riders and mudders may need to do so at least once a year.

When all-out performance is your concern, it’s hard to beat sintered ATV brake pads. Sintered pads are built to handle high heat and high friction conditions. You need excellent stopping power for high-speed riding. Sintered pads also hold up well in wet and muddy conditions. Their downfalls include being noisy and they can be hard on rotors.

Casual riders don’t always require the stopping power that sintered brakes provide. For them, a quality set of organic brake pads fits the bill. Organic pads are much quieter and have a great feel when the lever is applied. If you are easy on the brakes, organic or non-metallic pads are best for you. Aggressive riders will want to look for sintered pads, as organics do not last as long and do not hold up well to high heat and a lot of debris.

Whatever type of ATV brake pads you need, you will find them here at Dennis Kirk. We keep the most in stock and ready to ship to you the same day that you order. Be sure to check out our selection of brake rotors to have fresh brakes on your machine.
