I threw a set of Galfer pads in mine and have been happy.
I run HH Sintered Galfer pads which make a big difference off road.
I just installed Galfer HH sintered pads and they’ve been solid so far. Definitely an improvement from stock but they were getting pretty worn down
Go with the Galfer synthetic and that too will be burnt under 4k km, I have changed twice already in 10k.
I order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend
Galfer pads and rotors. I'm 210lb and can confidently slow down with rival flat mounts and 160mm rotors
Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.
1st step, better pads for more initial bite and overall stopping power. Galfer HH can be had for $80 front and rear, you can spend a lot more on performance/track pads if you want the best.
I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.
