“My experience of fitting these, along with the MXparts "aftermarket disc" in 2015, was that the feel was not really up to scratch. You know how the steering is always on your side, reacting to your thoughts almost before you have them? Well, the brakes are now NOT like that. They always seem to be slightly less than you need in any situation, with no "bite". They have been like this for 18 months now. Would buy something different next time.”

“The best purchase i have made for my MX in 7 years. Changed from Green stuff pads back to a less performance orientated pad as i realised that i needed to be at 98% to gain any benefit out of the Green stuff option. I am 26 have race experience and really enjoy pushing my car and these haven't faded, offer great feel and the initial bite is exceptional. I have braided lines as well which never made a difference with the Green Stuffs but with the Ultimax pads they really communicate. If you race your MX then the Green Stuff pad might work for you but if it's going on the road then save yourself some money and go with these.Better tyres next!”

“As mentioned by someone else, you have to file these pads off at the top and bottom in order for them to actually fit, annoying really!Fitted these pads with new discs, ran them in for a few hundred miles (same performance as previous "unknown" pads that were fitted). Took these on a track day and they glazed over almost straight away.Wouldnt recommend these really, unless you dont mind spending 30mins with a file & never do track days.”
