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 WideTrak 488 Snowmobile (1990-2003)
The Polaris Indy WideTrak 488, produced from 1990 to 2003, was a robust utility snowmobile known for its reliability. It consistently featured a 488cc liquid-cooled, 2-stroke, 2-cylinder engine, generally rated at 65 horsepower. This powerplant was a well-established and dependable choice for Polaris's utility lineup, designed to handle demanding tasks. Throughout its production, the core 488cc liquid-cooled engine and platform remained largely consistent. The evolution within the WideTrak line primarily involved refinements in features and naming conventions. Early models were sometimes called "Indy 500 Wide Track," transitioning to "Indy WideTrak," and later to the "Indy WideTrak LX" trim. The LX designation typically added features like electric start, reverse, and a hi/low transmission, enhancing its utility capabilities without a fundamental change in the vehicle's generation or engine. Q: Is this part compatible with my specific Polaris Indy WideTrak 488 model year?
A: To ensure perfect compatibility, please use the year and edition selector on this page.
