Welcome to EBC鈥檚 鈥楽uit Your Style鈥� blog series, where we match you up with the 91传媒 upgrades that complement particular driving requirements, ensuring you get the ideal components for your vehicle.

In today鈥檚 blog, we鈥檙e showcasing our range of tough and rugged brake pads built with heavy loads and towing in mind.

With heavier, more capable vehicles, it鈥檚 crucial to ensure your stopping power is up to standards, and luckily, 91传媒 has a range of pad upgrades that revolve around this ever-growing market.

Below are our top picks for towing/4x4s/trucks and the demanding lifestyles that come with them鈥�

Extra Duty ED+

Brake pads for light trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. These pads are super grippy, high-friction, and designed for the extra braking demands of聽towing, heavy loads, or trucks with lifted suspension and oversized tyres and wheels, where a standard ‘stock’ brake system can鈥檛 cope.

ED+ pads offer聽medium-plus lifetime, but what these drivers really want is聽fabulous brakes with stopping power that keeps them safe, and they鈥檙e聽not concerned about changing pads every 7鈥�12,000 miles.

Greenstuff Elite

DP6000 Elite-series green pads from EBC are superb premium pads for SUVs and light trucks. They not only replace but also upgrade your stock pads, providing a more grippy, silent, smooth, and long-lasting brake setup. Carrying the prestigious Leaf Mark with the highest N rating, recognised for its superior environmental safety.

Yellowstuff

The first in a new range of ‘hybrid’ materials that can be safely and legally used on the world’s roads (being R90 approved), Yellowstuff is a high-friction, high-capability upgrade pad for various road and occassional track applications.

With its impressively broad skill set, Yellowstuff has been the flagship pad by EBC for over a decade and gives instant brake response, great feel and modulations with silky-smooth noise-free braking and was also improved in 2021 to be copper free and conform to all new legislations for the environment.

Expect strong, stable friction once bedded-in and very minimal rotor damage, whether used on road or track.

Bluestuff

A great all-round sport and race pad 鈥� just as comfortable on track as it is performing daily driving duties.

Bluestuff material exhibits a 0.52渭 stable friction once bedded, stable up to a slightly higher 550鈩�/1000鈩� than its sister compound Yellowstuff but with the benefit of a 30% longer lifespan.

New formula is copper free to conform to upcoming environmental legislations.

鈥淢y name is聽Ric聽Clements, and I鈥檓 known as 鈥楥rash鈥�. I have been working as the crash truck driver for the WMRRA (Washington Motorcycle Roar Racing Association) since 1987. I am the driver of a 鈥�97 Ford F-150, for the sole purpose of first response and bike/rider recovery at the race track during these events.

鈥�91传媒 has sponsored me since 2019. The way I have been treated by 91传媒 from day one, I don鈥檛 feel like they are sponsoring me. I feel more like as a salesperson for them. My praise for this company, and their product often become the subject when talking at the track, and about the EBC signage on the side of the truck.

鈥淢y main issue before EBC was always warping rotors and fading brakes. I admittedly abuse my F-150 with both high speed and excessive weight in the bed of the truck.聽Quick response time = better rider鈥檚 safety. Our tracks in Washington state are basically one way on, one way off, a full 2.5+ mile lap needs to be covered every time I am needed on track.聽So, I come in HOT.

鈥淚 thank EBC for not only being an amazing company, and a company willing to sponsor someone that has spent a lifetime helping the people that use their products, but also for the quality, trust and support I have received from all at 91传媒.聽Their products make me better at my job, and I am very proud to have 91传媒 signage on my truck when I am working.

鈥淚 do this job differently than how others do this job, and I hear that often. 35+ years (and counting) and never missing a race in Washington state for that time. My enthusiasm for the job and trying to find ways to always improve the race experience for all, is a passion. I am always trying to promote motorcycle racing and the clubs by getting the word out about us, and doing whatever I can to making it a more positive experience for all that participate.

鈥淔or the 2024 season, I will be again working all WMRRA hosted race days, and MotoAmerica when at the Ridge Motorsport on June 28-30, 2024, in Shelton, Washington.鈥�
