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 StarTrak 250 Snowmobile (1987-1990)
The Polaris StarTrak 250, a popular snowmobile from 1987 to 1990, was known for its reliable single-cylinder, fan-cooled, two-stroke 244cc engine. This model was part of Polaris's "Star" line, offering a consistent and straightforward riding experience. It featured a Mikuni VM30SS carburetor, electronic ignition, and an oil-injected system. Throughout its production, the StarTrak 250 maintained its core 244cc engine. However, minor updates were introduced. Early models (1987-1988) came with a 100 Watt alternator, which was upgraded to a 150 Watt alternator by 1990, indicating an enhancement to the electrical system. The 1990 model year also saw minor revisions to components such as the brake, chaincase, chassis, seat, and hood, though these were considered minor updates rather than a full generation change. The StarTrak 250 was offered as a single distinct model without multiple sub-trims. FAQ:
