What make of disc pads?

[emseedee]

Just refitted the rear wheel on my 2013 C650GT, and I noticed that the rear disc pads are reaching end of life. What brands of pads do people recommend? Or do we not have a choice?

thanks

When it comes to consumables (filters, pads, fluids, plugs, etc.), I stick with OEM. Takes the anxiety out of second-guessing yourself, and in the grand scheme of things, the cost difference between OEM and aftermarket is largely immaterial.

I understand your point of view, but for me the nearest BMW dealer is a half day trip (there & back) on not very pleasant roads, and here in UK I can’t find any BMW dealers that do mail order.

I put the UK's own EBC HH pads on my bike last April (2013 C650 GT).

Not the best grabbing power but I'm not a high-performance rider. They do the job and were WAY cheaper than BMW pads, like $38 vs. $102 USD cheaper for a set of two.

Thanks. I’ve been looking at EBC - might be the way to go
