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 XLT 580 Snowmobile (1993-1994)
The Polaris Indy XLT 580, available for the 1993 and 1994 model years, was powered by a liquid-cooled, triple-cylinder, two-stroke engine known as the "Xtra Light Triple" (XLT). This 579cc engine produced approximately 88 HP and was a significant introduction for 1993, designed to be lighter than Polaris's 488cc twin-cylinder engines. It featured a single-casting cylinder and cylinder head to reduce weight and width, fed by three Mikuni VM34 carburetors and a newly designed 3-into-1 exhaust manifold. The 1993 XLT models also incorporated the new ITS (Improved Transfer Rear Suspension). Both 1993 and 1994 models were built on the "Wedge" Indy chassis. During these years, the Polaris Indy XLT 580 was offered in several trims, including the base Indy XLT, the Indy XLT SKS (a long-track version typically featuring a 133-inch track), and the Indy XLT Special, a performance-oriented trim with Fox gas shocks on both front and rear suspension. In 1994, the XLT Special was sometimes referred to as the XLT SP XTRA. No significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes were made to the core 579cc engine or chassis between the 1993 and 1994 model years. Minor variations, such as drive belt width, might have existed between the 1993 and 1994 XLT Special models. FAQ:
