NGage Front Brake Pads (HB 155 / HBS 155) – Dominar 400 (Except 2019), Pulsar NS 200 & Pulsar 200–220

NGage HB155 / HBS155 Front Brake Pads for Bajaj Dominar 400 (Except 2019), Pulsar NS200 & 200–220 – Ceramic & Sintered Options (Front Only)

The NGage HB155 and HBS155 front brake pads are disc brake pads developed for select Bajaj motorcycles where this exact pad shape and specification is required. As per NGage’s official brake pad compatibility chart, these pad codes are specified for the front brake caliper position on the motorcycles listed below.

This listing covers the front brake pad set only. It does not include rear brake pads.

Correct pad shape and position matching is critical. Even small dimensional differences can affect caliper fitment, pad alignment, and braking consistency. HB155 and HBS155 share identical physical dimensions and mounting specifications. The only difference between the two variants is the friction material composition.

Official Compatibility – Front Brake Only

According to NGage’s published compatibility chart, the following motorcycles use HB155 or HBS155 in the front brake position:

Bajaj Dominar 400 (Except 2019 model year) – Front
Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 – Front
Bajaj Pulsar 200–220 – Front

Compatibility applies strictly to the front brake caliper of the above motorcycles. Buyers must verify the correct pad code before purchase.

The 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 is specifically excluded, as indicated by NGage’s chart.

Variant Options Explained

This product is available in two NGage-defined material variants. Both share the same shape, mounting dimensions, and caliper compatibility.

Only the friction material composition differs.

HB155 – Whisker Ceramic (Ultimate+ Series)

Classified by NGage under the Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ brake pad series, the HB155 variant uses a ceramic-based friction compound reinforced with whisker fibers.

According to NGage’s HB series material overview, this compound incorporates:

Ceramic matrix
Reinforcing fibers
Filler materials

Ceramic brake pads are commonly selected for riders prioritising:

Smooth braking engagement
Controlled modulation
Reduced harshness
Street-focused braking behaviour

The Whisker Ceramic compound is positioned by NGage as a street-oriented friction solution.

HBS155 – Sintered Brake Pads

The HBS155 variant belongs to NGage’s sintered brake pad series.

Sintered brake pads are manufactured by bonding metallic powders under high heat and pressure. This creates a dense friction material typically associated with:

Higher thermal stability
Durability under repeated heat cycles
Stronger friction characteristics compared to ceramic compounds

The sintered construction is classified by NGage under the HBS series.

While shape and fitment remain identical to HB155, the friction compound composition differs significantly.

Choosing Between Ceramic and Sintered

Both variants fit the same motorcycles and front brake caliper.

The decision between HB155 and HBS155 comes down to friction material preference:

HB155 (Whisker Ceramic)
Street-focused ceramic compound

HBS155 (Sintered)
Metallic sintered compound

No additional performance claims beyond NGage’s classification are implied here.

Construction & Material Overview

Summary

The NGage HB155 and HBS155 front brake pads are position-specific brake pads developed for select Bajaj motorcycles as per NGage’s official compatibility chart.

Both variants share identical fitment and mounting dimensions, differing only in friction material composition. HB155 belongs to the Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ series, while HBS155 is classified under NGage’s sintered series.

Designed exclusively for the front brake position on Bajaj Dominar 400 (except 2019), Pulsar NS200, and Pulsar 200–220 models, these brake pads provide accurate fitment based on NGage’s published pad codes.
