What would everyone say is the best brake pad for use with a heavy rider and track time? I am pretty aggressive and love to brake late coming into corners!

I have tried :

EBC FA345HH
EBC GFA345HH "kit pads"
Braking CM55
Lyndal gold pads
OEM NIssin

For the XB, I would recommend EBC GFA345HH "kit pads", since they give the maximum braking force, when you start pushing the bike.

EBC "GFA" series is a race pad with an ultra high friction coefficient. If you do a lot of trackdays and find the stock stuff doesnt cut it give them a try. EBC does not recommend them for street use. YMMV

I use then on the street and they work OK.

But at speeds over 160km/h, they are really superior to anything else I have tried. Also I never had any overheating problems

Ferodos are working well for me. The stock pads just evaporate and have made two rotors pulse for me.

I am not worrying for ZTL's the pads for the XB, any more.

I will install the 8-piston caliper from the 1125R, as soon as they are available.
