NGage HB 164 / HBS 164 Front Brake Pads for Triumph T4 – Ceramic & Sintered Options (Front Only)
The NGage HB 164 and HBS 164 front brake pads are disc brake pads developed for the front brake caliper used on the Triumph T4. These brake pads are manufactured to match the exact pad shape, mounting profile, and contact surface geometry required by the front braking system fitted to this motorcycle, ensuring correct physical fitment and consistent disc engagement.
This product listing applies strictly to the front brake position. The rear brake pads for the Triumph T4 use a different pad code and are listed separately.
Front brake pads carry the primary braking load on a motorcycle. The majority of stopping force is generated at the front wheel, making the quality and behavior of the front brake pads a key factor in braking confidence, lever feel, and controlled deceleration. A front brake pad must deliver predictable bite, stable friction output, and consistent performance across varying temperatures and braking loads.
NGage offers the HB 164 front brake pad shape in two friction material variants: Whisker Ceramic (HB 164) and Sintered (HBS 164). Both variants share identical physical dimensions and mounting geometry. The difference lies entirely in the friction compound formulation and how it behaves under heat, load, and repeated braking cycles.
Whisker Ceramic Variant — HB 164
The HB 164 Whisker Ceramic brake pads use a ceramic-based friction compound reinforced with fiber-like whiskers. This compound is engineered to deliver smooth initial bite, progressive braking force buildup, and stable friction output during everyday riding conditions.
The ceramic matrix allows controlled modulation at the brake lever, which is particularly useful for urban riding, highway cruising, and mixed riding environments where precise braking control is preferred. The whisker reinforcement improves structural stability within the friction layer, helping the pad maintain consistent surface behavior under repeated braking cycles.
This compound is intended for riders who prioritize refined braking feel, predictable front brake response, and consistent deceleration without aggressive bite characteristics.
Sintered Variant — HBS 164
The HBS 164 Sintered brake pads use a metallic friction compound formed by fusing metal powders under high temperature and pressure. This manufacturing process produces a dense, wear-resistant friction material with high thermal stability and consistent friction output under elevated braking loads.
Sintered brake pads are engineered to tolerate higher operating temperatures and maintain braking performance during repeated hard braking, extended downhill descents, and high-speed riding. The metallic composition offers stronger initial bite and sustained friction consistency under conditions where brake heat buildup is significant.
This compound is intended for riders who operate in aggressive riding conditions, carry heavier loads, or frequently ride in environments that generate higher front brake temperatures.
Fitment & Compatibility
This listing applies to the front brake position on the following motorcycle:

Variant Explanation – HB vs HBS
This product is available in two NGage friction material options:
HB 164 – Whisker Ceramic Brake Pads
The HB 164 uses NGage’s Whisker Ceramic compound. This is a ceramic-based friction formulation designed for smooth bite progression and reduced brake noise.
It is suitable for:
Daily commuting
Highway touring
Urban riding
Riders who prefer controlled lever feedback
Ceramic pads are typically chosen for quieter braking and progressive modulation under standard operating temperatures.
HBS 164 – Sintered Brake Pads
The HBS 164 uses a sintered metallic friction compound. This version is engineered for higher thermal resistance and sustained braking under load.
It is suitable for:
Aggressive riding
Mountain descents
Heavier motorcycles with luggage
Riders seeking firmer braking response
Sintered compounds generally maintain braking consistency across wider temperature variations.
Both versions are ARAI tested and manufactured in Japan. Only the friction compound differs. Shape, dimensions, and installation procedure remain the same.
Performance Characteristics
Brake pads influence more than stopping distance. They affect lever feel, fade resistance, disc wear patterns, and braking stability under repeated deceleration.
The NGage HB 164 / HBS 164 Front Brake Pads are engineered to deliver:
Stable braking response
Consistent contact with the brake disc
Predictable lever modulation
Uniform wear across the friction surface
Performance can vary depending on riding style, road conditions, brake disc condition, and bedding-in procedure.
Material & Construction Overview
Both variants use a precision-formed backing plate engineered to match the Royal Enfield front caliper design. Proper plate rigidity ensures even pressure distribution across the friction surface.
The friction compound is bonded using controlled manufacturing processes designed to withstand heat cycles generated during braking. NGage does not publish internal compound percentages or heat range values beyond the ceramic and sintered classification.
The product is listed as ARAI tested, indicating it has undergone evaluation under Indian regulatory standards.
Installation & Bedding-In
Installation should be performed only on the front brake caliper of the compatible models listed above.
After installation, a proper bedding-in procedure is strongly recommended. Bedding-in allows the friction material to transfer evenly onto the brake disc surface, helping establish consistent braking behaviour.
Failure to bed in new pads correctly may lead to uneven wear or inconsistent lever feel.
Professional installation is advised for riders unfamiliar with brake servicing procedures.

NGage HB 155 / HBS 155 Rear Brake Pads for Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 & Shotgun 650 – Ceramic & Sintered Options (Rear Only)
The NGage HB 155 and HBS 155 rear brake pads are disc brake pads designed for Royal Enfield motorcycles that use this exact pad shape and mounting specification at the rear brake caliper.
These brake pads are specified for the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 in the rear brake position. Both motorcycles share the same rear brake pad format, allowing a single pad code to be used across both models.
This listing covers the rear brake pad set only for these two motorcycles.
Brake Pad Function & Fitment Logic
Brake pads are a core wear component in a motorcycle’s braking system. Their role is to generate friction against the brake disc when hydraulic pressure is applied through the brake caliper. For proper braking behavior, brake pads must match the exact backing plate shape, thickness, and mounting profile specified for the brake caliper design used on the motorcycle.
NGage brake pad codes define this physical geometry. Only pads with the correct code should be installed in a given caliper.
For the motorcycles covered under this listing:
HB 155 represents the Whisker Ceramic variant
HBS 155 represents the Sintered variant
Both variants share identical dimensions and mounting features. The only difference between the two is the friction material composition.
Using the correct pad code is essential. Installing pads with a different shape or specification can lead to improper seating, uneven pad wear, brake noise, inconsistent braking response, or long-term damage to braking components.
Variant Explanation
This product is available in two NGage material variants:
HB 155 – Whisker Ceramic Brake PadsThis variant uses a ceramic-based friction compound reinforced with whisker fibers. It is classified by NGage as a Whisker Ceramic brake pad. The compound is designed to provide stable braking behavior and consistent friction characteristics under standard road riding conditions.
HBS 155 – Sintered Brake PadsThis variant uses a metallic sintered friction compound. It is classified by NGage as a Sintered brake pad. Sintered pads are manufactured using fused metallic powders and are typically selected where higher thermal stability and consistent braking behavior under sustained load are required.
Both variants are identical in shape, fitment, and mounting dimensions.Only the friction material composition differs between HB and HBS variants.
Intended Application
The NGage HB 155 and HBS 155 rear brake pads are direct-replacement components for the rear brake calipers used on the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and Royal Enfield Shotgun 650.
These brake pads are not universal and are not interchangeable with other NGage pad codes such as HB 163, HB 164, or HB 184. They are intended strictly for motorcycles that specify pad code HB 155 or HBS 155 at the rear.
Installation & Service Considerations
Brake pads are routine service components and should be replaced according to the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended service intervals or when pad thickness reaches the wear limit.
Installation should follow standard brake service procedures, including:
Cleaning the brake caliper and pad guide surfaces
Inspecting the brake disc for wear or scoring
Seating the pads correctly within the caliper
Tightening mounting hardware to the correct torque
Performing a bed-in procedure after installation
Improper installation can result in brake noise, uneven wear, or inconsistent braking response.
Professional installation is recommended for riders who are not familiar with motorcycle brake system service procedures.

NGage HB 238 / HBS 238 Rear Brake Pads for Yamaha R15 V3, V4, MT-15, FZ 25 & Fazer 250 – Ceramic & Sintered Options (Rear Only)
The NGage HB 238 and HBS 238 rear brake pads are precision-engineered disc brake pads designed for Yamaha motorcycles that use the HB 238 pad shape specification at the rear caliper. These brake pads are intended as direct-fit replacements for factory rear pads on compatible Yamaha models, delivering stable braking performance, controlled heat behavior, and consistent pedal feel across everyday street riding as well as spirited use.
Rear brake pads play a critical role in overall braking balance. While the front brake delivers the majority of stopping force, the rear brake stabilizes the chassis under braking, controls speed in low-traction conditions, and supports smooth deceleration in traffic, corners, and downhill riding. The NGage HB 238 and HBS 238 pads are built specifically for this rear-brake role, offering predictable bite, progressive engagement, and long-term durability.
These pads are manufactured to match the exact dimensions and mounting profile required for the Yamaha rear calipers used on the listed models. Fitment, seating depth, backing plate thickness, and friction block positioning are all controlled to ensure correct alignment with the disc rotor and caliper pistons. This allows the pads to install cleanly without modification and operate within the factory braking geometry.
Material Variants – Choose What Matches Your Riding Style
This listing is offered in two NGage material variants, both sharing the same pad shape and fitment:
HB 238 – Whisker Ceramic Brake PadsThe HB 238 uses a ceramic-based friction compound engineered for smooth, quiet braking and controlled wear characteristics. Ceramic pads are known for consistent modulation, low brake noise, and reduced rotor abrasion. This compound is well suited for riders who prioritize clean operation, stable braking feel, and predictable response in daily commuting and mixed riding conditions.
HBS 238 – Sintered Brake PadsThe HBS 238 uses a metallic sintered friction compound designed for higher thermal stability and stronger braking bite under heat load. Sintered pads are formed by fusing metal powders under pressure and heat, producing a dense structure that resists fade and maintains braking effectiveness during aggressive riding, highway use, and repeated braking cycles. This compound is ideal for riders who demand sharper response and higher durability under demanding conditions.
Both variants are identical in physical dimensions and mounting compatibility. The only difference lies in the friction material behavior and performance characteristics.

NGage HB 150 / HBS 150 Rear Brake Pads for Yamaha R15 V1 & V2 – Ceramic & Sintered Options (Rear Only)
The NGage HB 150 and HBS 150 rear brake pads are motorcycle disc brake pads developed for Yamaha motorcycles that use the HB 150 rear pad profile. These brake pads are engineered to match the exact mounting shape, backing plate geometry, and friction surface dimensions required by the rear brake caliper used on the compatible Yamaha models. This ensures proper physical fitment, consistent contact with the brake disc, and stable braking performance when installed correctly.
This product listing applies strictly to the rear brake position. Front brake pads for these motorcycles use a different pad code and are sold as a separate product. Rear brake pads play a critical role in overall braking balance, vehicle stability, and low-speed braking control. While the front brake generates most of the stopping force, the rear brake contributes to smooth deceleration, traction control during braking, and rider confidence in slow-speed maneuvers and corner entry.
A properly matched rear brake pad must provide predictable bite, controlled modulation, and stable friction output across a wide temperature range. It must also maintain structural integrity under repeated braking cycles without glazing, excessive fade, or inconsistent friction behavior. The NGage HB 150 rear brake pad shape is designed to meet these requirements while maintaining direct compatibility with the listed Yamaha rear brake caliper system.
NGage offers the HB 150 rear brake pad in two distinct friction material variants: Whisker Ceramic (HB 150) and Sintered (HBS 150). Both variants are manufactured using the same physical pad dimensions and mounting design. The difference lies entirely in the friction compound formulation and how it behaves under heat, braking load, and repeated use.
Whisker Ceramic Variant — HB 150
The HB 150 Whisker Ceramic brake pads use a ceramic-based friction compound reinforced with fiber-like whisker material. This compound is engineered to deliver smooth initial bite, progressive braking force buildup, and stable friction output during everyday riding conditions.
Ceramic friction compounds are known for producing controlled braking response with reduced noise characteristics and consistent lever feel. The whisker reinforcement enhances the internal structure of the friction layer, helping the pad maintain uniform contact with the brake disc surface under varying pressure levels.
This variant is intended for riders who prioritize refined braking feel, predictable rear brake response, and smooth modulation during city riding, highway cruising, and mixed riding environments. The ceramic compound supports consistent friction behavior without aggressive bite characteristics, making it well-suited for riders who prefer a linear and controlled rear brake feel.
Sintered Variant — HBS 150
The HBS 150 Sintered brake pads use a metallic friction compound formed by fusing metal powders under high temperature and pressure. This sintering process produces a dense and wear-resistant friction material with high thermal stability and consistent friction output under elevated braking loads.
Sintered brake pads are engineered to tolerate higher operating temperatures and maintain braking performance during repeated braking cycles, extended downhill descents, and riding conditions where brake heat buildup is significant. The metallic composition offers stronger initial bite compared to ceramic compounds and sustained friction consistency when brake temperatures fluctuate rapidly.
This variant is intended for riders who operate in more demanding riding conditions, carry heavier loads, or frequently ride in environments that generate higher rear brake temperatures. The sintered compound maintains structural integrity and friction performance under conditions where softer compounds may experience fade or inconsistent response.

HB 150 — Whisker Ceramic Brake PadsCeramic-based friction compoundSmooth braking responseProgressive rear brake feelStable friction behavior under normal thermal loads
HBS 150 — Sintered Brake PadsMetallic sintered friction compoundHigher temperature toleranceStronger braking bite under loadConsistent friction during repeated braking
Both variants are identical in shape, thickness profile, and mounting design. Only the friction compound differs.
Construction & Design Characteristics
The NGage HB 150 and HBS 150 brake pads are manufactured with a rigid steel backing plate that maintains dimensional stability under braking pressure. The friction layer is bonded to the backing plate using high-temperature bonding methods to prevent separation under thermal stress.
The pad surface geometry is designed to promote even contact with the brake disc, reducing uneven wear and maintaining consistent friction output throughout the service life of the pad. The chamfered edges and surface profile help minimize vibration, reduce brake noise, and support smooth engagement during light braking.
Both variants are engineered to operate across a wide temperature range while maintaining predictable friction behavior. Proper bedding-in after installation is recommended to ensure optimal contact between the pad surface and brake disc.
