Your brake requirements will vary according to your riding style. Ceramic brake pads will serve you best if you do aggressive off-roading in challenging terrains due to their superior stopping power and heat dissipation capability. An organic brake pad will be fine if you ride over more even terrains. In either case, we have just the right brakes for you. This is regardless of whether you're primarily using it for recreational trail riding, aggressive off-roading, high-speed desert running, or a combination of these activities.
Off-road enthusiasts know the importance of reliable braking performance on rough and uneven terrain. Choose brakes designed to provide maximum traction, allowing you to confidently navigate steep descents, muddy trails, and rocky obstacles. You'll get consistently reliable braking performance with features such as heat-treated rotors and advanced brake pad materials on your brakes.
Regarding construction quality, going for durable and reliable products is always essential. This is why you should only opt for brakes and brake components crafted from the highest quality materials, as they're often designed to meet the rigorous demands of off-road use. Thankfully, we offer braking components from reputable brands for your Kawasaki Ridge, and they include everything from quality performance brake pads to upgraded brake calipers for the right mix of stopping power and control.
The Kawasaki Ridge comes with disc brakes, and for a good reason - they are more powerful and have better heat dissipation but require more maintenance and are exposed to the elements. However, you can also install drum brakes with a sealed design, which require less maintenance but offer less stopping power, especially in wet conditions. The choice is yours to make.
When selecting brakes for your Kawasaki Ridge, consider the ease of maintenance and accessibility of components. This is crucial due to the demanding environments you're likely riding in, which can lead to increased wear and tear. If you subject your UTV to harsh environments or frequent water crossings, prioritize brakes with good sealing and corrosion resistance.
