Are Galfer brake pads any good?

The Galfer Pro pads do a very impressive job of combining most of the best features of both. Their raw power is excellent, and that power is consistent at a huge range of temperatures. They work well when wet, are very difficult to glaze over, and do all that while being notably quiet.

Where are Galfer brake pads made?

Barcelona

Are galvanized brake pads better than ceramic?

Metallic. Metallic brake pads perform well and cost less than ceramic brake pads, but they bite harder and are definitely louder during driving.

Why are galfer rotors better?

The key to providing more braking power stems from improving heat dissipation. Galfer wave rotors have extra surface area allowing more heat transfer to the surroundings. This allows the rotors to cool faster and make braking more effective.

Are galfer wavy discs any good?

Overall the Galfer floating disc rotors are great performers and also look pretty smart with the coloured detailing on them. For Alpine riding or lots of uplift laps they offer some small braking performance advantages over standard discs.

What type of brake pads are the best?

Do sintered pads squeal?

The few negatives to running sintered brake pads is that they can make some noise. Depending if they are wet or have been really hot, sintered brake pads can be loud! Lastly, because sintered pads are made from a harder material, they can be harder on rotors.

Are wavy brake discs better?

These discs are relatively new on the market and have holes in them and a ‘wavy’ outside edge. This provides a more efficient area of pad contact compared to standard round discs. They allow for more heat dissipation as well.

What is better ceramic or metallic brakes?

Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.

What is the difference between sintered and organic brake pads?

In general, organic brake pads are made from softer materials than sintered brake pads meaning they are usually quieter. In mountain bike applications, organic pads will give you more initial bite when you first grab the brake lever.
