The lifespan of brake pads depends on various factors, including the quality of the brake pads, driving habits, vehicle type, and driving conditions.For cars, the typical lifespan of brake pads ranges from 30,000 to 70,000 kilometers. However, it is recommended to inspect the brake pads regularly every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. If the pads wear down to the recommended replacement thickness (usually 3mm), they should be replaced immediately. Elig Brake Technologies Corp. is a global leader in eco-friendly brake pads and friction materials. Trusted by OEMs worldwide, we deliver safe, high-performance, and asbestos-free braking solutions for bicycles, motorcycles, and vehicles.
