Mega Alloy X Brake Pads
This is a replacement from OEM Brake Pads.
The price is Reasonable and the product is reliable.
Installation.
I think it is fine for touring use.
Motorcycle shops say that it's a little bit more difficult for those who run Circuit
With a heartbreaking Brake Pads, he said.
I myself am mainly a User who runs comfortably on Touring and mountain passes.
I have been using it for about a year and have no Large complaints.
As for durability, it depends on how you run it, but I think it's generally not bad.
If the idea is to keep Cost low, I would be willing to consider it once.

OEM Comparison
Change from OEM.
It works well enough before the bite.
I replaced the front and rear at the same time and it is much easier to control the Rear.
Specifi cations that even a heavy Motorcycle like the 14R can afford.

Used in Circuit
Used in Circuit run at NINJASL.
It is useful because of its good balance of price, efficacy, and durability.

Review after the run.
I drove about 1,000 kilometers.
The feel is just as I expected. It's nice.
Satisfied that all OEMPad complaints have been addressed.
I thought the pad was relatively soft touch.
That is not to say that it slides, but I can feel the disc gripping firmly on the lever and it feels very secure.
The front suspension responds more agilely to PitchControl with a slightly stronger grip, not to mention deceleration at corner entry, which increases the enjoyment of the car.
Stress-free anyway!
The braking power was perfect, and when I activated the ABS for a trial run, I had a good feeling that it activated with the timing I wanted.
I also ran RainCondition and it seems to work better than Dry.
That is acceptable, but with Rain it squeaked a bit.
It seems to resonate with the anti-noise Plate that was attached to the car, and even in Dry, there is a large chattering sound while driving.
Maybe I'll take it off next time.

I like the affordable price.
[How is it used?
It has been about two weeks since I installed it.
The initial braking effect is now more stable and I can brake with more confidence than with the previous Pad.
Breaking before Curve, especially when Speed is on, has become very reassuring.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It was just as Image.
Was the installation difficult?
It was installed without difficulty.
How was your experience with it?
During the break-in period immediately after installation, I hit it with a series of hard hits.
It seemed that the heat was also firmly applied at that time, and after the hit, the play touch just before the Corner was very good.
After that, the effect seems to stabilize as some heat is applied.
(Please note that this is just a layman's opinion and not an accurate one.)
[Included Parts:were they on?
It was Body only.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Not particularly
Durability is yet to be determined, so I hope for the best.

858 and 859 for V str 650.
The OEM pad on the V-Stroke was not very good, squeaking and slipping, so I quickly replaced it.
The rating is normal because it has just been installed and has not been run yet.
I was torn between sbs and Mega alloy, but I chose Mega alloy because I had a good feeling about RKJapan's Fine alloy when I used it on my moped.
I see that the Pad surface is slippery. It seems to work well.
What bothered me the most was that the OEM Fluid was already stuck in place after less than a year.
That being said, I installed it with Plate for now to stop the crying. I am looking forward to going for the next run!
