Description
Pad Purpose:
- The purpose of any brake pad is to push or squeeze against the brake drum or disc to slow it down. Softer brake pads "bite" into the rotor and stop better but tend to wear out faster.
Stopping Power:
- The stopping power of ceramic and metallic pads varies by temperature. Ceramic pads tend to stop better when very hot and metallic operate better in the cooler range.
Fade Resistance:
- A ceramic pad's strongest point is its ability to resist "brake fade", or the tendency to lose performance during repeated use and subsequent heating.
Wear:
- Though both pads tend to wear at similar rates, the ceramic's softer material surface helps prevent damage to metal rotors.
Noise and Dust:
- Ceramic pads vibrate at a higher frequency than the human ear can detect, and thus appear quieter in operation than metallic. Also, ceramic pads don't cause the black "brake dust" deposits like metallic pads.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Panther 440 Snowmobile (1970-2002)
The Arctic Cat Panther 440 is an iconic snowmobile produced from 1970 to 2002. Known for its versatility, this model spanned several decades, adapting to riders' needs. Initially equipped with 440cc engines from various manufacturers such as Kawasaki, JLO, and Hirth, the Panther 440 evolved, incorporating innovations and technical improvements over the years. It stood as a cornerstone of the Arctic Cat lineup, offering a reliable and well-regarded riding experience.
Over its long production run, the Panther 440 underwent significant changes. Early years saw a transition from multiple engine suppliers to a predominance of Kawasaki engines by 1972. In 1974, the Panther VIP 440 introduced oil injection and a Cat-A-Matic hydrostatic transmission. By the mid-1970s, a shift to Suzuki Spirit engines was observed. The 1990s brought chassis and engine refinements, with trims like the Panther Mountain Cat introduced in 1990, featuring a longer track. From 1997 to 2002, the model standardized its engine to a 431cc displacement, ensuring a consistent platform for its final years. Trims such as the Panther AFS, Deluxe, and ESR (Electric Start and Reverse) also marked its evolution.
