NGage HBS 155 Sintered Brake Pads – Front: Meteor/Hunter/Classic 350, Himalayan 410, NS200, MT-15 | Rear: Super Meteor/Shotgun 650 & More

NGage HBS 155 Sintered Motorcycle Brake Pads

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

Position is critical: do not order HBS 155 simply because another motorcycle from the same brand uses the same pad code. Confirm the exact model, generation and whether HBS 155 is required at the front or rear.

What Is NGage HBS 155?

HBS 155 is the sintered-metal version of NGage's 155 brake-pad profile. NGage describes its sintered pads as being made by fusing metallic powders and other friction materials under high heat and pressure to form a dense, durable friction compound for demanding motorcycle braking conditions.

Sintered Friction Material

NGage lists the sintered friction material as a combination of metal powders and friction modifiers:

• Copper: heat dissipation, durability and thermal stability
• Steel / Iron: structural strength and wear resistance
• Brass: thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Graphite: friction modification and lubrication at high temperature
• Carbon Fibres: reinforcement
• Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂): solid lubrication under high-pressure conditions

Why Choose the Sintered HBS 155 Compound?

HBS 155 is the NGage option for riders who specifically want a sintered-metal 155-profile pad. Compared with the corresponding HB 155 Whisker Ceramic compound, NGage publishes a higher friction-coefficient range and higher thermal-resistance figure for the sintered range.

Sintered pads are particularly relevant where repeated braking, heat, heavier loads, touring, mixed weather or demanding road use are priorities. Brake feel and stopping performance still depend on the complete braking system, including rotor condition, hydraulic system, tyres, ABS calibration, caliper condition and bedding-in.

Confirmed HBS 155 Compatibility

Royal Enfield – Front HBS 155

Royal Enfield – Rear HBS 155

Important Royal Enfield 650 distinction: NGage V4.9 lists Interceptor 650 / Continental GT 650 as HBS 164 front / HBS 163 rear, while Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 use HBS 164 front / HBS 155 rear. Do not assume all Royal Enfield 650 models share the same rear pad.

Bajaj – Front HBS 155

Dominar return-prevention note: NGage V4.9 separately lists a Dominar 400 (2019) application with HBS 184 front / HBS 163 rear. Confirm the exact motorcycle application before ordering HBS 155 for a Dominar.

Yamaha – Front HBS 155

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

Jawa – Front HBS 155

Yezdi

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

Ather

Harley-Davidson – Rear HBS 155

Ducati – Rear HBS 155

Ducati fitment warning: NGage V4.9 lists HBS 164 rear for Multistrada 1200 (2015–2018), while Monster 797 and Ducati Scrambler are listed with HBS 163 rear. Do not generalise HBS 155 across Ducati models.

Fitment / Return-Prevention Note

HBS 155 is a multi-position pad profile: front on many motorcycles and rear on selected applications. 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 Use a Different Pad

• Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 / Guerrilla 450: HBS 164 front / HBS 163 rear
• Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 / Continental GT 650: HBS 164 front / HBS 163 rear
• Bajaj Dominar 400 (2019 entry): HBS 184 front / HBS 163 rear
• Yezdi Adventure: HBS 164 front / HBS 163 rear
• Ducati Multistrada 1200 (2015–2018): HBS 164 rear

HBS 155 Sintered vs HB 155 Whisker Ceramic

HBS 155 and HB 155 share the 155 application family but use different friction compounds. Choose according to the motorcycle and desired braking characteristics.

What You Will Receive

1 × NGage HBS 155 Sintered Brake Pad Set

Pad pins, retaining 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 profile matches HBS 155.
• Confirm whether HBS 155 is the front or rear pad for the exact motorcycle.
• Inspect the brake disc for excessive wear, scoring, cracking, warping or contamination.
• Inspect and clean the caliper, pad guides and piston area 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 torque values, brake-service procedures and minimum disc-thickness limits.

Important Rotor-Wear Note

Sintered pads use a metallic friction compound. Rotor and pad wear depend on the motorcycle, rotor material and condition, contamination, heat, riding environment and braking style. Inspect the disc whenever fitting new pads.

When Should Brake Pads Be Replaced?

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 brake-disc scoring
• Unexpected change in brake-lever or pedal behaviour
