Disc brakes on mountain bikes are now almost a must for better braking and compared to the old rim brakes made of rubber, disc brakes are a quantum leap forward. They are quieter than rim brakes, stop faster and handle heat MANY TIMES better than rubber rim brakes which will literally burn up on a downhill race.
EBC make three compounds for MTB disc brake systems and also a variety of high quality heat treated stainless steel brake rotor oversize kits for Mountain Bikes.

Green Series
These are a high quality organic formulation producing an excellent all round replacement pad for pleasure riding, cross country and trekking. If you're not sure what to choose, specify Green compound. Good lifetime and stopping power.
Red Series
Higher friction red compound improves brake effect and breathes life into a dull system. These pads offer more grip than standard and can be used as an upgrade pad for any system where stopping power needs a boost. Also due to the low heat generation, red pads are ideal for downhill racing.
Gold Series
These super high friction sintered bronze "Gold" pads set new standards in disc brake stopping power combined with maximum lifetime in all conditions. Nothing lasts longer. These pads also work great in mud, water, sand etc. If you have a premature wear problem with standard pads, switch to Gold - problem solved. Not suitable for downhill race use.
Brake Disc Kits
There are two upgrade SIZE options with these oversize brake disc conversion kits - 160/165mm-180mm (medium power upgrade) and 160/165mm-203mm (mega power upgrade) and the option of full circle profile or new lightweight contoured profile.
These mount on most standard 6 bolt wheel hubs and together with the bracket provided, which again fits most 50mm centre forks, your calliper is relocated outwards giving you a stronger brake and better brake feel. Easy to fit - no other changes are necessary to your calliper, cables, hydraulics or lever. All you need are two Allen keys.
These are premium quality heat treated stainless steel discs, unground. This is a far superior product. Kits are available to convert standard 160/165mm up to 180mm and 160/165mm to 203mm.
