NGage HB163 / HBS163 Rear Brake Pads for Bajaj Dominar 400, Pulsar NS200, 200-220 & RS200, Ceramic & Sintered Options (Rear Only)
The NGage HB163 and HBS163 rear brake pads are disc brake pads developed for select Bajaj motorcycles requiring this exact pad shape and specification. As per NGage’s official brake pad compatibility chart, these pad codes are specified for the rear brake caliper position on the motorcycles listed below.
This listing covers the rear brake pad set only. It does not include front brake pads.
Brake pads are wear components designed to generate friction against the brake disc when hydraulic pressure is applied through the brake caliper. Proper pad selection is determined by caliper design, mounting geometry, backing plate dimensions, and disc configuration. Even if two pads appear visually similar, only the correct NGage pad code should be installed.
For the motorcycles listed below, NGage specifies HB163 or HBS163 for the rear brake position.
Official Compatibility, Rear Brake Only
According to NGage’s published compatibility chart, the following motorcycles use pad code HB163 / HBS163 in the rear position:
Bajaj Dominar 400, RearBajaj Pulsar NS 200, RearBajaj Pulsar 200-220, RearBajaj Pulsar RS 200, Rear
Compatibility applies strictly to the rear brake caliper of the above motorcycles.
Front brake pads use a different pad code and are not included in this listing.
Understanding NGage Pad Codes
NGage pad codes define:
Backing plate shapeMounting tab geometryPad thicknessFitment dimensions
HB163 and HBS163 share identical physical dimensions and fitment geometry. The only difference between them lies in the friction compound classification.
Installing a different pad code, even if it appears close in shape, may result in improper caliper seating or inconsistent braking behaviour.
Variant Options, Material Classification
This product is available in two NGage-defined friction material variants:
HB163, Whisker CeramicHBS163, Sintered
Both variants:
Are identical in shapeFit the same rear caliperShare the same mounting geometry
Only the friction compound composition differs.
HB163, Whisker Ceramic (Ultimate+ Series)
The HB163 variant is classified by NGage under the Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ brake pad series.
According to NGage’s HB-series material overview, this compound includes:
Ceramic-based friction matrixWhisker fibre reinforcementFillers and stabilising materials
Ceramic brake pads are generally selected for:
Smooth engagementControlled modulationStreet-focused braking characteristicsReduced harshness at the pedal
HB163 is positioned as a ceramic rear braking solution within NGage’s lineup.
HBS163, Sintered Brake Pads
The HBS163 variant belongs to NGage’s sintered brake pad series.
Sintered brake pads are manufactured by fusing metallic powders under high heat and pressure. This creates a dense metallic friction compound typically associated with:
Higher thermal stabilityDurability under repeated braking cyclesStronger friction characteristics compared to ceramic compounds
The HBS163 maintains identical physical fitment to HB163 but differs in friction material composition.

Installation & Usage Notes
Install only in the rear brake caliper of listed motorcyclesConfirm correct pad code before purchaseEnsure brake disc, caliper, and hardware are clean and serviceableFollow a proper bed-in procedure after installationProfessional installation recommended
Incorrect pad selection or improper installation may affect braking performance and component wear.
Summary
The NGage HB163 and HBS163 rear brake pads are position-specific brake pads developed for Bajaj Dominar 400, Pulsar NS200, Pulsar 200-220, and Pulsar RS200 motorcycles, as specified in NGage’s official compatibility chart.
Both variants share identical physical dimensions and mounting geometry. The difference lies solely in friction compound classification, Whisker Ceramic (HB163) or Sintered (HBS163).
Designed exclusively for the rear brake position, these pads provide accurate caliper fitment based on NGage’s defined pad code system.
Correct pad code. Correct rear position. Verified compatibility.
