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 550 Snowmobile (2002-2003)
The Polaris Indy Classic 550 snowmobile, available for the 2002 and 2003 model years, is a popular choice known for its reliable performance and comfortable ride. Both years featured a consistent design, powered by a 544cc fan-cooled, twin-cylinder, 2-stroke engine. This robust engine is generally estimated to produce around 50-55 horsepower, providing ample power for trail riding. The sled utilized the "EDGE" chassis, which was praised for its comfort and responsive handling. While the core engine and chassis remained the same, there were minor updates. The 2002 model used engine EC55PM031, while the 2003 model featured EC55PM060, indicating a slight internal revision. Additionally, the 2002 model offered "Reverse Transmission" as an option, whereas the 2003 "Classic Edge" trim specifically included "Electronic Reverse". Trims included the Indy 550 Classic for both years, with the 2002 also known as Indy 550 F/C Classic, and the 2003 introducing the Indy 550 Classic Edge.
