Just right for Rear
Front uses the same RK Mega alloyX.
This is very good. The reduction, stopPingPower and disc aggressiveness are highly balanced.
I was going to install RK on Rear as well.
But I don't need StoppPingPower on Rear. Therefore, I bought RKFine alloy55.
Please note that this is not a review of Single Body, as the disc was also replaced at the same time.
Back plate is the same as OEM, different thickness inside and outside. The back plate is the same thickness on the inside and outside as the OEM. Don't be fooled, the product price of Pad is more dependent on the weight of the back plate than on the polished material. Avoid the incomprehensible manufacturer who skimp on this part.
The pad is a semi-metal pad made of 55% copper flake, which means it is not a pad for effectiveness, but for control. Therefore, it is just right for Rear.
The hit surface of DISC is also on target.
Large change is a satisfying product.

Replaced from DAYTONAHYPERSintered
Daytonahypersintered about 3 years and 13,000 km and is gone, so I am replacing it.
HYPER lasted about twice as long as OEM, but as expected, Rotor was very aggressive and dented a lot.
Too bad, I will not buy any more Brake Pads made by DAYTONA.
That being said, here is RKJapan's Fine alloy.
I was worried about SBS because I use it in Large type.
So I chose it out of curiosity, but I have driven about 100 km and it is quite good.
The initial braking of the Type is very powerful. The braking force is applied with a jerk at the beginning of the grip, and the car seems to decelerate slowly while maintaining the touch.
The deceleration feels like dragging Brake, not like forcing it to slide to achieve Control.
When I gripped the brake hard at the end of deceleration, the tire seemed to lock up, but when I released the brake, it quickly pulled away and the brake touch was easy to understand, so I felt it was easy to control the load near the limit.
Also Rain, but DAYTONAHYPER was originally slippery Pad was raining and the performance was even more slippery,
The performance here has not changed at all. Rather, the bite to Rotor seems to have increased.
On the other hand, I thought that the increase in vehicle weight might be a little scary, and it was.
Also, it doesn't squeak at all.
DAYTONAHYPER squeaked all the way from the beginning to the end, but this Fine alloy has been quiet from the break-in to now.
Life is not sure yet, but it feels good with less Dust.
If Life is as good as OEM, this will be the next one.

CB1300SBRearPad installed
This is the second time I have purchased this product. I have used it mainly for running events and Gymkhana, but compared to other companies, it does not cry even when I apply Cost surface and RearBrake frequently, and the BrakeField does not boil up, so I would like to continue purchasing it.
