Maybe there's a chemistry.
I replaced OEMPad→Metallica→brembo in that order, and the controllability etc. is fine, but the Brake squeal just before stopping. (Noise Level) The "A" was so unusual that it could not be used for town riding.
In the meantime, I drove about 200 km with Caliper OH, Rotor polishing and Pad chamfering, but there was no improvement, so I went back to Metallica Pad and no problem.
Maybe it was incompatible with the WR250X Rotor, but this brembo pad was a disappointment.

It works goofily!
Used for front brake of XELVIS.
The No Brand pad that had been on the car up to that point was so ineffective that I had to throw it away, even though it was 8 parts high. In comparison, the brembo pads are very controllable, starting to work slowly in accordance with the lever-on force, and finally suppressing it with a strong force. I can now enjoy driving on mountain roads that I had been too scared to drive before.
The color of the Pad is bright Red. A sense of doing Good to get out. brembo's marking is written on the Pad and is clearly visible with a cantilevered Caliper. I have used OEM, Vesla, Red Pad, Golden Pad, etc., and this is the easiest pad to use without feeling insecure. The Fee Ring is similar to the Red Pad, but feels softer and tighter than the Red Pad.
The only thing that seems to be a drawback is the lifespan, which reaches its limit after about 5000 km. This is normal for a Pad, but for some reason the new Element was very thin (about 4mm?). The Pad with 40,000 km without replacement before the replacement had more left. If they made it thicker, it should have a longer life.
