Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace UTV brake pads?
Most pads last 1,500–3,000 miles, but aggressive riding, mud, or racing shortens lifespan.

Are sintered pads better than ceramic?
Sintered pads handle heat and abuse better, while ceramic pads are quieter and rotor-friendly.

How do I know if my rotors need replacing?
Look for grooves, cracks, or warping. If braking feels weak or inconsistent, replacement is due.
