FAQs

How many brake discs does one pair of SBS 177CT pads cover?

One pair of SBS 177CT brake pads is designed to fit one brake disc. If your scooter has two front brake discs, you will need to purchase two pairs.

What is NRS NUCAP technology?

NRS (NUCAP Retention System) technology is a patented system that provides a mechanical and indestructible fixing of the friction material to the brake pad backing plate, ensuring superior durability and safety.

Are these pads suitable for wet weather riding?

The carbon compound offers good performance, but like all brake pads, performance can be affected by wet conditions. Ensure the brake system is functioning correctly and adjust braking distances accordingly in wet weather.

How do I know when to replace my brake pads?

Inspect the brake pads regularly. Replace them when the friction material reaches the minimum thickness specified by your scooter's manufacturer, typically indicated by a wear indicator or a visual inspection of the pad material depth.

Can I use these pads for racing?

The SBS 177CT pads are recommended for sporty guiding and everyday transport. For dedicated racing applications, SBS may offer specific race-compound pads designed for extreme conditions.

What is the difference between carbon compound and other brake pad materials?

Carbon compounds generally offer better initial bite, fade resistance, and consistent performance across a wider temperature range compared to some organic or semi-metallic compounds, making them well-suited for performance-oriented scooter use.

Troubleshooting

Brake squeal after installation

This can sometimes occur with new pads. Ensure the pads were bedded in correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for any debris trapped between the pad and disc. Sometimes, a light sanding of the pad surface or the use of brake grease on the back of the pad can help.

Reduced braking performance

Check if the brake pads are worn beyond their recommended limit. Inspect the brake disc for damage or glazing. Ensure there are no air bubbles in the brake lines and that the brake fluid level is correct. Verify that the correct pad type has been installed.

Brake lever feels spongy

This typically indicates air in the brake system. The brake system may need to be bled. Check brake lines for leaks and ensure the brake fluid is fresh and at the correct level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved braking performance with carbon compound.
  • Suitable for various riding conditions (sporty, touring, daily).
  • Durable bond thanks to NRS NUCAP technology.
  • Specifically designed for scooter applications.

Cons

  • Sold as one pair per brake disc; requires purchasing for each disc.
  • Carbon compound may wear faster than some traditional materials under extreme conditions.
  • Best suited for medium-distance and varied riding, not extreme racing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Before purchasing, verify that the SBS 177CT brake pads are compatible with your specific scooter model and year. Applications include models such as APRILIA SR Motard, SR Max, Sportcity One; PIAGGIO VESPA GTS, X9 Evolution; and DERBI Boulevard. Always confirm fitment details for your vehicle's braking system.

Installation:

These brake pads are designed for one brake disc per pair. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure correct fitment and function. Improper installation can lead to braking system failure. Follow the manufacturer's torque specifications and bedding-in procedures for optimal performance and longevity.

Care:

Keep the brake pads clean by avoiding excessive exposure to dirt, sand, and water. Periodically inspect the brake pads for wear. Replace them when the friction material reaches the minimum thickness specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure the brake disc is clean and free of debris before installing new pads.
