EBC ATV Sport Discs/Rotors

Due to the conditions in which ATVs are typically ridden, disc wear is quite common especially on rear brake applications. It is quite common to have to replace the rear brake rotors two or three times during the life of an ATV, especially if riding in wet and mud conditions.

EBC Brakes offer two kinds of replacement rotor for the ATV market, a heat treated carbon steel rotor and a lighter weight stainless steel sport disc or rotor as shown above.

The advantage of the sport brake rotor is reduced weight due to its contoured profile and better cleaning due to the scraper slots around the edge of the disc/rotor.

The best pads to use when riding in dirt and mud conditions are the sintered metal variety (see explanations of sintered materials by clicking this link) or in most extreme conditions, the EBC SV series sintered pads. These offer extended long lifetime under tough ATV conditions.

 
SAFETY CONCERN – USE OF ATVS/QUADS ON PUBLIC ROADS
Also in Europe we are seeing ATV’s used for highway use, some scary quick four wheelers are flying around on public roads these days and we wonder if the riders of those machines have paid enough attention to tire and brake choices which vary tremendously to what these units were designed for. Our advice here is, its all fine and dandy you riding an ATV at 70 MPH on a street but were your brakes designed with high heat capabilities, Generally ATV brakes are designed to last well in mud water and sand but not necessarily to handle the high speeds of street use.

EBC Brakes makes no warranty that its brakes will transform a machine designed essentially for off road use into a safe machine to use on the highway and all of our products are offered for OFF HIGHWAY use only.

If you do use you ATV on highway no matter what brakes you use, drive carefully and slowly and use the BEST brake pads you can buy.

EBC Brakes are NOT tested or approved for highway use on ATVs at this time and homologation and safety for highways use is totally the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer.
