I am going to order some superstar brake pads for my new ultimates (well, 2nd hand but as new), after reading great reviews I thought I would get some at a great price.
I am thinking of giong for the Kevlar compound (worth a go) for £9.99
My question is that for one brakes worth or two?
and has anyone used the Kevlar compound, what are they like?

They are sold per pair, so you need two sets one for the front and one for the back.
I recently got these and once they are bedded in they are quite good and seem to be lasting quite well in the wet/muddy conditions.0 -
They lasted 3 wet rides in the Peak District(60-ish miles),i've gone back to SS sintered.
I emailed SS and they've now put a disclaimer on their website stating that the Kevlar pads are not suited to wet/gritty conditions ala Peak District 8)0 -
ibbo - I saw that comment! Got some as spares but not tried them yet.0

Agreed - there are few pads that can stand up to that - my last peaks outing ate my Hayes pads (proper Hayes ones too) in a few hours.
Dalby in the wet can also eat pads - all that sand!

Hello, we do 3 different compounds for different conditions and personal riding style. I run the organics for the best power and feel, but try the kevlar if you want longer life and similar feel and power. Obviously if you live in the peaks where it is famous for "millstone grit" (ie the most abrasive conditions in the UK) then a rock hard pad like sintered would be the best.
Try them if you dont like them in 45 days you can have your money back.
