Sintered Bronze is OEM material and provides the best shortest stopping distance of all street brake pads.
anything else increases stopping distance.

Don't care really, but what data you have that shows that? Friction material has come a long way since late 90s.

any legitimate brake pad site/company will specify sintered bronze as the best for street. every sport bike from the factory and heavy cruiser uses them and always with an HH rating.
""SUPERIOR STOPPING POWER compared to carbon organic, Kevlar™ organic, or semi-metallic organic pads.
LONGER PAD LIFE than organic, Kevlar™ organic, ceramic, or semi-metallic pads – stable sintered metal structure is impervious to softening and decomposition in wet conditions.""

mello dude:
The site splits hairs and is making generalities...Specific brands could be exceptions..Is it good advice? Probably.....
Is there test data for the conclusions? Nada.
Still I'm not racing the Valk, don't care..for my duty cycle I'm good.
