The Gold Fren Disc Brake Pads 379 AD are premium sintered ceramic motorcycle brake pads designed to deliver dependable stopping power, smoother braking response, and long-lasting durability for modern street motorcycles, sport touring motorcycles, adventure bikes, scooters, and performance-oriented motorcycles. Manufactured using advanced powder metallurgy technology, these brake pads are engineered to provide consistent braking efficiency in both wet and dry riding conditions while maintaining reduced rotor wear and quieter operation.
The AD compound series from Gold Fren is specifically developed for riders who require reliable everyday braking performance with improved durability over conventional organic brake pads. The ceramic-metal friction compound provides an excellent balance between braking performance, rotor friendliness, and thermal stability, making the 379 AD pads an ideal OEM replacement solution for daily commuting, touring, city riding, and moderate sport riding applications.
The friction material is formulated using sintered metal-ceramic compounds combined with refined iron-based additives to optimize friction stability and wear resistance. This advanced composition ensures smooth braking feel and strong stopping capability while minimizing excessive abrasive interaction with brake rotors. The AD compound also provides quieter braking performance compared to many aggressive metallic compounds due to its composite ceramic formulation.
One of the major advantages of the Gold Fren 379 AD brake pads is their lower wear rate. Gold Fren states that the AD series offers approximately 20% lower wear compared to many other sintered or semi-sintered brake pads in the same category, contributing to extended service life and reduced maintenance intervals.
The 379 AD brake pads are cross-compatible with EBC FA679HH applications and are suitable for a wide range of Honda motorcycles depending on exact fitment requirements. Common compatible motorcycles include Honda CB125R, CB300R, CB650R, CBR650R, CRF1000L Africa Twin, CRF1100L Africa Twin, NT1100, and X-ADV 750 across selected production years. Riders should always verify exact model and year compatibility before installation.
Gold Fren is internationally recognized for manufacturing high-quality motorcycle braking components homologated by TÜV Rheinland. The AD series brake pads are produced in Europe using environmentally friendly lead-free and asbestos-free materials, ensuring both rider safety and quality assurance.
The sintered ceramic construction also provides excellent thermal resistance and stable braking performance during repeated braking applications. Whether used for city commuting, long-distance touring, or adventure riding, the Gold Fren Disc Brake Pads 379 AD deliver reliable braking confidence, reduced brake fade, smooth operation, and long operational life for modern motorcycles.
