Honda VTR 1000 SP1 brake pads Galfer - sintered

Galfer FD168G1375 brake pads
The Galfer pad with G1375 sintered sport compound is for the most demanding people, for Sport / Racing driving.
Designed to satisfy the most demanding customers who, in addition to regular urban use, want a more sporty ride. This compound, with a high coefficient of friction, guarantees excellent performance even at high operating temperatures. The G1375 offers modulable and safe braking in all types of conditions.
A detail that stands out in this compound is a special ceramic paint on the backing plate that acts as an additional thermal shield and reduces the transmission of heat to the brake system along with the grooves in the friction material.

The correct bedding-in of the brake pads: is carried out by a series of gentle brakings holding the brake lever for 10-15 sec. and then releasing the brake to cool the disc and pads, and repeating this action 5 or 6 times.
This achieves a correct thermal cycle and heating, cooling of the system, and subsequently better braking.
