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 700 Snowmobile (1997-2003)
The Polaris Indy XC 700, produced from 1997 to 2003, was a prominent performance snowmobile known for its powerful liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine, typically around 700cc. This series saw continuous refinements, establishing its reputation for responsiveness and trail capability. Significant advancements marked this period. In 1997, Polaris introduced its new American-made 700cc twin engine, paired with the advanced XTRA-10 suspension. A major overhaul in 1999 brought the Gen II chassis, featuring new body styles, Fox internal floating piston gas shocks, a hydraulic disc brake, and improved ergonomics. The XC SP trim, recognized as "Snowmobile of the Year," became a key performance model. Further innovation arrived in 2001 with the groundbreaking EDGE chassis, which significantly enhanced handling and ride quality through a lighter design. The 2002 models received a notable engine upgrade with the introduction of the VES (Variable Exhaust System) 700cc case reed engine, delivering an impressive eight horsepower increase and further solidifying the XC 700's performance credentials. The 2003 models continued with this refined engine and the EDGE chassis. Q: How do I find parts specific to my Polaris Indy XC 700?
