Is there a certain pad material that would be ideal for this rotor?
By Michael H.
Not really - these brake rotors are compatible with all brake pad materials that fit your bike. It comes down to what you prefer. If you want quiet brake pads with a lot of feel, choose organic brake pads. If you want maximum bike and don't mind the dust that comes from that kind of performance, then you'll want a set of sintered metal brake pads. These rotors have no restrictions on brake pad materials.
