I have noticed that some brake disc pad manufacturers are now marketing eBike-specific pads. One such example is Kool Stop's KS-D160E. There are other examples as well. Kool-Stop describes their ebike discs as:
Our E-Bike disc pads are produced with a ceramic barrier between the organic friction material and the steel backing plate to reduce heat transfer into the brake calliper, causing brake fade. With the heavier design and quick speeds of Electric bikes, they require a compound that will hold up and provide consistent braking power.
Do you have any thoughts on the benefits (if any) of eBike-specific pads over the 'normal' pads? Particularly in the context of bikes limited to 25 km/h (I am in Australia).
Context: I want to get a set of spare disc pads for my Magura MT4/MT5 brakes and tossing up whether to stick to Magura pads (recommended 7.P, and 9.P - (Organic pads with <30% metal).
