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 XC 500 Snowmobile (1999-2003)
The Polaris Indy XC 500 and its performance-oriented variant, the Indy XC SP 500, were highly popular snowmobiles offered between 1999 and 2003. These models consistently featured a robust 500cc liquid-cooled, twin-cylinder engine. During this period, Polaris introduced significant advancements in both chassis design and engine technology. The 1999 models utilized the XC-10 front and XTRA-10 rear suspensions. By 2000, the advanced Gen II chassis was introduced, followed by the durable EDGE chassis from 2001 onwards, enhancing handling and rider comfort. Engine development saw the Liberty series engine begin appearing in 2000, becoming the exclusive 500cc Liberty motor by 2003, notably producing 105 horsepower. How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my Polaris Indy XC 500?
