Which sintered metal brake pads bring the bestselling Suzuki Bandit 650 ABS to a stop? MOTORRAD had eight accessory rubbers compete against the original stoppers.

Ten years after Suzuki’s 600 bandit hit the market and immediately became one of the most popular motorcycles, she has been writing since the beginning of 2005
available successor Bandit 650 The success story continued with third place among new registrations. Among the few points of criticism with great all-round quality-
do convincing 650s include the brakes. Although it is equipped with ABS, the testers complained about a doughy pressure point and only average braking behavior.
MOTORRAD obtained sintered retrofit brake pads from AP-Racing, Brembo, Carbone Lorraine, EBC, Ferodo, Goldfren, Lucas and Saito to get over-
check whether the accessory stoppers can tease out a little more braking power from the Bandit than the original parts.
In order to create the same conditions, all candidates were first run in extensively until the pad surfaces were completely in contact with the brake discs. Because only then do rubbers develop their maximum performance. This was followed by a test day for the function in dry conditions and a day for the wetness tests – only interrupted by countless changes of flooring, filling out evaluation tables and taking notes. Finally, the data was recorded together with the MOTORRAD test department. The most concise curve progression of several full brakes from 100 km / h can be found in the individual data boxes.
The functional criteria in the present test include the response behavior in dry and wet conditions, which indicates,
how spontaneously the coverings on a train
react on the brake lever, as well as the pressure point, which is ideally at
cold and warm brakes always use the same lever travel and offer stable resistance. The dosability evaluates how exactly the
the desired braking force.
Optimal braking behavior, even for less experienced people, is designed so that
the braking effect also increases evenly and thus predictably with steadily increasing hand force. In addition, the mentioned hand strength is reflected in the evaluation. Coverings that respond to low leverage are desirable. The braking effect cold and warm indicates how high the maximum achievable decelerations are with a cold or warm brake. The same applies to the braking effect in wet conditions. A good fading behavior is characterized by the fact that, even after many full brakes in quick succession, the braking effect does not decrease, nor does the hand force increase significantly and the pressure point remains constant, i.e. does not “fall through” in the direction of the brake lever.
Conclusion: With most accessory brake pads, the Bandit decelerates a bit better than with the original stoppers – not extreme, but noticeable. The profit, in the literal sense, is much greater when it comes to the purchase price. Compared to the most expensive Suzuki pads by far, savings are made with all accessory brands. If the price is the most important thing for you, you can choose the super cheap Saito rubbers from Louis. Purely based on the functional criteria, you are best served with products from Brembo and EBC.

Sintered metal brake pads for the Suzuki Bandit 650 ABS: Test

Information about the test
In contrast to the original brake pads, which are approved when the vehicle is homologated
Accessory coverings have a special marking that documents their approval for road traffic. Based
the KBA number on the back of the pad
check whether the pads are actually approved for the motorcycle in question.

When it comes to material thicknesses, manufacturers are pursuing different approaches. Thick carrier plates ensure high braking-
stability ?? being in the case of the just average bandit brake-
system, even the comparatively thin Carbone Lorraine plates do not result in any noticeable disadvantages. The thickness of the topping has a direct impact on the wallet and is therefore included in the final rating. It is clear that the toppings are quite thin
from AP-Racing, Brembo and Lucas don’t last as long as they do
around 25 percent thicker Carbone Lorraine specimens. A replacement is due earlier accordingly.

The listed delay values ​​refer to the
Emergency braking from 100 km / h with data recording.
Each of the candidates was cordoned off on one
Test site several braking maneuvers with heated surfaces
completed and evaluated. More meaningful than the maximum delay, which is usually only achieved for a very short period of time, is the average (mean) delay over
the entire braking process.

Conclusion Although the Saito from 2006 four euros
become more expensive, they are compared to the bankruptcy-
renz still unbeatably cheap. Its functional values ​​cannot be described as sporty or biting, but are more than enough for normal everyday use with the Bandit

The Lucas cannot play proven class with the Bandit. they work
but reliable in dry and wet conditions
and without real weakness. Biggest flaw
is the low thickness of the covering when new

Plus easy to dose; sufficient initial covering thickness available

Minus Comparatively high hand strength;
noticeably delayed response in wet conditions

Conclusion Inconspicuous rubbers that fit well with the character of the bandit and about the level
reach the original stopper, but essential-
Lich are cheaper. For good delays-

However, high manual forces are required

Functional in both cold and warm condition-
values; good fading behavior

Minus Noticeably delayed response behavior in wet conditions

Conclusion The Ferodo are the most expensive after-
Scaffolding decks in comparison, however, are convincing
in almost all areas with good functionality-

State; very good fading behavior; good response behavior and effectiveness in wet conditions

Conclusion Since the EBC stopper is not in any of the
If ten test criteria are weak and leave a dazzling impression in both dry and wet conditions, they are just ahead in the end and take the test victory

Price: 75.90 euros

Plus By far the best response
in the test field; fixed pressure point; good dosage-
availability; low hand strength; good braking effect in dry and wet conditions

Minus Low initial layer thickness

Conclusion The relatively low pad thickness cost the Brembo pads the test victory.
The red stoppers work perfectly
the bandit and especially shine through it
excellent response

Plus very easy to dose; very good fading behavior; largest initial layer thickness
in comparison

Minus ??

Conclusion With a new importer and old virtues, French rubbers achieve good results
to very good values ​​in all criteria
a perfect overall result. Even in the fading tests, the Carbone Lorraine showed plenty of bite right up to the last braking maneuver

Sintered metal brake pads for the Suzuki Bandit 650 ABS: Test

Conclusion
The differences between the
Candidates keep this test within manageable limits. The rubbers of Suzuki, Goldfren and Saito land a bit behind in the back of the ranks.
You may not afford any striking weaknesses, but you achieve
only average function values. Ferodo cavort in midfield,
AP-Racing and Lucas ?? The latter two lose a lot of points in the criterion »thickness of the lining«. At the very front are EBC, Brembo and Carbone Lorraine almost on par? but with different strengths. The test winner EBC convinces above all with its very good fading behavior and its otherwise consistently good values ​​in all other criteria. Brembo shines
with the best response and the most clearly defined pressure point, while Carbone Lorraine has the highest initial pad thickness of all candidates
and scores with fading behavior.
