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 RXL 650 Snowmobile (1990-1997)
The Polaris Indy RXL 650, produced from 1990 to 1997, was a high-performance snowmobile renowned for its powerful 648cc liquid-cooled, triple-cylinder engine. Initially, the 1990 model featured a carbureted system. A significant evolution occurred in 1991 with the introduction of Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI), marking the RXL as one of the first snowmobiles to adopt this technology. The EFI system provided advantages such as smoother throttle response, improved cold-weather starting, and better performance at varying altitudes. This change also involved specifically designed cylinders for the EFI system. Mid-cycle updates in 1993 included the Improved Transfer Rear Suspension (ITS) and a responsive three-into-one exhaust system, enhancing handling and performance. The RXL was also available in an SKS (Snow King Special) trim in certain years, which typically included additional features like an extra heat exchanger and electric start. FAQ:
