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 Classic 500 Snowmobile (1989-2003)
The Polaris Indy Classic 500, produced from 1989 to 2003, was a highly popular snowmobile renowned for its reliable 488cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine and comfortable features. Over its extensive production run, it saw several significant updates and trim variations. Initially introduced in 1989 with a new 488cc liquid-cooled twin engine, replacing an earlier triple, the model received continuous refinements. Key developments included the introduction of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) on some variants by 1992, and the launch of the two-up Classic Touring model in 1993, which also brought a new ITS rear suspension. By 1994, the Indy 500 adopted the "Evolved body style," with the Classic gaining electric start and reverse. Later, Classic models utilized the "Gen II" chassis from 2000-2001. A notable engine change occurred in 2002, when the Classic Touring was offered with a 488cc fan-cooled engine, diverging from the standard liquid-cooled setup. The 2003 Classic model was listed with a 500cc displacement. FAQ:
