Sintered Front Brake Pads for KTM 390 Adventure 2025 - CB902 | Crank1

High-Performance Sintered Brake Pads for KTM 390 Adventure

The Crank1 CB902 Sintered Front Brake Pads are designed for the KTM 390 Adventure from 2025 onwards and for a wider range of compatible motorcycles using the same brake pad profile.

Crank1 Sintered Series pads are developed for riders who need strong braking performance, high temperature resistance, durability, and predictable operation across varied weather and riding conditions.

Their sintered friction compound maintains consistent performance during repeated or heavy braking, making the CB902 suitable for adventure riding, long-distance touring, demanding terrain, and performance-oriented riding.

Key Features

High Heat Tolerance

Crank1 sintered brake pads are designed to perform under high braking temperatures.

This makes them suitable for:

✔ Repeated heavy braking
✔ Adventure riding
✔ Long-distance touring
✔ Challenging terrain
✔ Performance-oriented riding

The supplied technical specifications state a constant maximum temperature of 680°C and a short-term maximum temperature of 830°C.

Strong Stopping Power

The sintered compound provides a high static friction coefficient for strong and responsive braking.

Benefits include:

✔ Strong initial braking response
✔ Consistent stopping performance
✔ Improved control under demanding braking
✔ Reliable operation at elevated temperatures

Reduced Brake Fade

High heat resistance helps minimize brake fade during repeated braking, maintaining more consistent braking performance under demanding conditions.

Reliable Wet and Dry Performance

Crank1 states that the CB902 provides minimal difference in braking performance between dry and wet conditions.

This makes the pads suitable for:

✔ Dry roads
✔ Rainy conditions
✔ Wet touring routes
✔ Muddy adventure environments

High Abrasion Resistance

The sintered friction material is designed for strong wear resistance and extended service life compared with many softer organic brake pad compounds.

Actual lifespan depends on riding style, terrain, load, brake disc condition, and maintenance.

Rotor-Friendly Braking Characteristics

The compound is designed for low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material while still providing strong braking performance.

Stainless Steel Heat Shield

A stainless steel heat shield on the backing plate provides additional thermal insulation between the friction material and braking components.

Copper-Coated Backing Plate

The sintered friction material is soldered to a copper-coated backing plate.

This construction is designed to create a strong connection between the friction material and backing plate while reducing the risk of material separation.

Special Braking Surface Modification

The braking surface incorporates a specialized treatment intended to support consistent friction characteristics and braking performance.
