NGage HB 155 Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ Brake Pads – Front: Meteor/Hunter/Classic 350, Himalayan 410, NS200, MT-15 | Rear: Super Meteor/Shotgun 650 & More

NGage HB 155 Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ Motorcycle Brake Pads

NGage HB 155 Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ is a multi-application ceramic motorcycle disc-brake pad used in different brake positions depending on the motorcycle. NGage Master Catalogue V4.9 lists HB 155 as a front pad for several Royal Enfield, Bajaj, Yamaha, Jawa, Yezdi and Ather applications, while it is listed as a rear pad for the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Harley-Davidson Street 750 and Ducati Multistrada 950.

Position matters: do not order HB 155 simply because another motorcycle from the same brand uses the same pad code. Confirm the exact model and whether HB 155 is listed at the front or rear.

What Is Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+?

NGage describes its Whisker Ceramic material as a ceramic friction compound reinforced with fine fibre-like “whiskers”. The reinforcement is intended to improve friction and braking performance, particularly at elevated temperatures, compared with a standard ceramic brake-pad compound.

Whisker Ceramic Friction Material

NGage lists the Whisker Ceramic friction material as a blend containing:

• Whisker Filament
• High-end Ceramic Fiber – Italy
• High-end Mineral Fiber – Netherlands
• High-end Aramid Fiber – USA
• Copper Fiber

NGage markets the range around performance, durability, reliability and low-noise / low-dust behaviour. Actual brake noise and dust can also depend on rotor condition, caliper condition, contamination, installation and bedding-in, so this listing does not promise zero noise or zero dust in every brake system.

Confirmed HB 155 Compatibility

Royal Enfield – Front HB 155

Royal Enfield – Rear HB 155

Important Royal Enfield 650 distinction: Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 do not use HB 155 in the same position. NGage V4.9 lists HB 164 front / HB 163 rear for Interceptor / GT 650, while Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 use HB 164 front / HB 155 rear.

Bajaj – Front HB 155

Dominar note: NGage V4.9 separately lists a Dominar 400 (2019) application with HB 184 at the front and HB 163 at the rear. Do not assume every Dominar 400 uses HB 155 front without checking the exact application.

Yamaha – Front HB 155

R15 warning: The NGage chart distinguishes R15 generations and rear-pad codes. This listing claims HB 155 only where V4.9 explicitly shows it: R15 V3 / V4 front.

Jawa – Front HB 155

Yezdi

Yezdi Adventure is different: NGage V4.9 lists HB 164 front / HB 163 rear for the Adventure. Do not order HB 155 for the front of Yezdi Adventure based on the Roadster fitment.

Ather

Harley-Davidson – Rear HB 155

Ducati – Rear HB 155

Ducati fitment warning: Multistrada 1200 (2015–2018) is listed with HB 164 at the rear in NGage V4.9. Monster 797 and Ducati Scrambler are listed with HB 163 rear. Do not generalise HB 155 across Ducati models.

Fitment / Return-Prevention Note

HB 155 is a multi-position pad profile: it is a front pad on many motorcycles and a rear pad on others. Before ordering, verify:

• Exact motorcycle model
• Model generation / variant
• Front or rear brake position
• Caliper and existing pad profile

If your motorcycle is not explicitly listed above, do not assume compatibility from engine size, brand, platform or visual similarity.

Important Similar Applications That Do NOT Use HB 155 in the Same Position

HB 155 Whisker Ceramic vs HBS 155 Sintered

HB 155 and HBS 155 share the same application family but use different friction compounds. Choose according to the riding requirement rather than treating the two products as identical.

What You Will Receive

1 × NGage Whisker Ceramic Ultimate+ HB 155 Brake Pad Set

Pad pins, clips, caliper hardware, brake fluid and other brake-system components are not included unless specifically supplied with the retail package.

Installation & Bedding-In

Professional installation is recommended. Motorcycle brakes are safety-critical components.

• Confirm the removed pad shape matches HB 155.
• Confirm whether HB 155 is the front or rear pad on the exact motorcycle.
• Inspect the brake disc for excessive wear, scoring, cracking, warping or contamination.
• Inspect and clean caliper piston and pad-guide areas correctly.
• Keep oil, grease, chain lubricant and other contaminants away from the friction surface and rotor.
• After installation, restore normal brake pressure before moving the motorcycle.
• Bed new pads progressively.
• Follow the motorcycle manufacturer's service procedures, torque specifications and minimum disc-thickness limits.

When Should Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Brake pads are wear components. Inspect the braking system if you notice:

• Friction material approaching its wear limit
• Reduced or inconsistent braking response
• Metallic scraping or persistent abnormal noise
• Uneven pad wear
• Cracked or damaged friction material
• Excessive disc scoring
• Unexpected brake-lever or pedal behaviour
