The Gold Fren Disc Brake Pads 287 AD are premium sintered ceramic motorcycle brake pads designed to deliver reliable stopping power, smoother braking response, and extended durability for scooters, street motorcycles, touring motorcycles, cruisers, dual-sport motorcycles, and lightweight performance machines. Manufactured using advanced powder metallurgy technology, these brake pads are engineered to provide stable braking performance in both wet and dry riding conditions while maintaining low brake rotor wear and quieter braking operation.
The AD compound series from Gold Fren is specifically developed for riders seeking dependable everyday braking performance with excellent durability and comfort. The ceramic-metal friction compound offers an ideal balance between braking efficiency, thermal stability, low rotor abrasion, and smooth braking feel. The 287 AD brake pads are designed as a versatile OEM replacement suitable for daily commuting, city riding, highway touring, and moderate sport riding applications.
The friction material consists of sintered metal-ceramic compounds blended with refined iron-based additives to optimize friction properties and braking consistency. The AD compound is engineered to maintain excellent friction stability across varying riding environments and temperatures while reducing brake fade during repeated braking applications. Gold Fren states that the wearing rate of the AD compound is approximately 20% lower than many comparable sintered or semi-sintered brake pads in the same category, contributing to longer operational lifespan and reduced maintenance intervals.
One of the major advantages of the Gold Fren 287 AD brake pads is their low abrasive interaction with brake rotors. The ceramic composite material reduces excessive rotor wear and minimizes braking noise, providing smoother and quieter braking operation compared to aggressive metallic compounds. The sintered construction also ensures reliable performance in demanding weather conditions including rain, moisture, and varying road temperatures.
The Gold Fren 287 AD brake pads are commonly compatible with selected Honda scooters and motorcycles including Honda ADV 150, Honda SH125i, Honda SH300i, Honda Forza 250, Honda Forza 300, Honda FES S-Wing series, and several lightweight commuter and touring scooters depending on exact fitment requirements. The brake pads are cross-compatible with EBC SFA415 applications. Riders should always verify exact model and year compatibility before installation.
Gold Fren is internationally recognized for producing TÜV-homologated motorcycle braking components trusted worldwide for street and touring applications. The AD series brake pads are manufactured using environmentally friendly lead-free and asbestos-free materials while maintaining high braking efficiency and long service life.
The sintered ceramic construction also offers excellent resistance against heat buildup and moisture, ensuring consistent braking feel during urban commuting and long-distance riding. Proper bedding-in procedures and periodic brake system maintenance are recommended to achieve optimal braking performance and pad longevity.
Whether replacing worn brake pads or upgrading to a more durable aftermarket braking solution, the Gold Fren Disc Brake Pads 287 AD provide dependable braking confidence, quieter operation, smoother braking response, and excellent durability for a wide range of motorcycles and scooters.
