EBC FA088V Brake Pad — FA‑V series semi-sintered designed for demanding riders seeking durability and lever feel. The lining incorporates 30% copper by weight in an organic matrix, offering the robustness of a sintered construction while maintaining a progressive braking response. Supplied in packs of 2, these pads measure 9 mm in thickness for optimized lifespan on roads and trails.
Suitable for Vintage/Classic, Touring, Trail/Adventure, Roadster, and Sport/Racing categories, these pads replace both organic models and sintered pads. They are particularly suitable for common fits on Yamaha XVS 1100, BT 1100 Bulldog, or XJ 900 Diversion (check the caliper number and manufacturer reference to confirm compatibility).
In practice, the FA088V is aimed at the rider looking for a compromise between longevity and feel, whether for weekend rides, loaded trips, or sustained road use. Remember to check the condition of the discs and pistons during installation to ensure consistent braking.
