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 600 Snowmobile (1995-1999)
The Polaris Indy XLT 600, produced from 1995 to 1999, was a popular snowmobile known for its trail performance. All models from this period featured a liquid-cooled, 597cc (or 598cc) two-stroke, triple-cylinder engine, delivering smooth power and strong acceleration. This engine, manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries (Subaru), was a core part of its identity. During its production, the XLT 600 underwent significant evolutions. In 1995, the XLT Special model introduced a redesigned long-travel suspension (XTRA-10/12), marking a generational shift in snowmobiling technology. Around 1997-1998, the chassis transitioned from the "wedge" design to the "evolved" or "Gen II" chassis, identifiable by its wider, three-bulb headlight. Furthermore, a crank oiling issue in earlier models was addressed in late 1997 or 1998 with the addition of a fourth oil line. FAQ:
