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
Polaris Indy 500 Snowmobile (1989-2006)
The Polaris Indy 500 is a legendary snowmobile model produced from 1989 to 2006, known for its versatility and robust performance. Throughout its run, it was primarily powered by a reliable 488cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke twin engine. This model served as a cornerstone in Polaris's lineup, offering a balance of power and rideability for various snow conditions. Over its long production span, the Indy 500 saw several key updates and trim variations. Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) was introduced in 1992, enhancing performance and efficiency. In 1994, the model transitioned to the "Evolved" body style, featuring a more modern, rounded design. Performance-oriented XC SP trims, often equipped with a distinct 500cc engine from 2000 onwards, and deep-snow specific RMK versions were also introduced, catering to diverse rider needs. These changes ensured the Indy 500 remained competitive and adaptable. FAQ:
