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 700 Snowmobile (1997-2003)
The Polaris Indy 700 series, produced from 1997 to 2003, was a popular snowmobile known for its robust performance. It primarily featured a 700cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine, though some model years had slight variations in displacement (e.g., 679cc for 1998, 698cc for 1999). This range offered various trims catering to different riding styles, from trail performance to mountain riding. During its production, the Indy 700 underwent significant mid-cycle changes. The 1999 model year introduced the Generation II (Gen II) chassis, bringing major updates to body styles, controls, and braking. Further advancements came with the EDGE chassis, launched for models like the 2001 and 2002 Indy 700 XC SP, which redefined handling. Additionally, the 2002 XC SP trim saw an engine upgrade to a variable exhaust equipped (VES) 700cc case-reed engine, boosting horsepower. These changes mean parts compatibility can vary significantly across the 1997-2003 range. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct part for my Polaris Indy 700?
A: To guarantee a perfect fit, please use our year and model selector located at the top of this page. This will filter parts specific to your snowmobile's exact configuration. Q: Are parts for the 1997-2003 Indy 700 interchangeable across all years?
A: No, due to significant chassis (Gen II, EDGE) and engine (VES) updates during this period, parts compatibility varies. Always use the year and model selector to confirm fitment.
