worth the extra cost over hope standards ( also made by galfer I believe)

tried Rahox & quite impressed, but last time took ages to come

cheers

I've heard they are good, but the price has always put me off. I think you're right, they also make brake pads for Hope.

Not much help only tried the red galfer pads in my E4 which seem a bit better than the red hope ones (think they are the standard galfer, black plate), I have the green ones in the tool box to try when its dry well drier. I dont think they are a to bad a price from rush cycles where got mine from previously.

bought some Rahox recently and they were back up to speed with delivery. Ones before that were tardy, as you say.

The local indy mechanic put up a picture recently of a local rider with the galfer 223 rotar on the front and 203 rear with the green pads which he called the pro competition and described them as extremely violent on the bite point.

Thinking of getting these fitted in a few months when the trails dry and speed pick ups.

@kimbers let me know how you get on with these.

Well just back from a very wet & muddy FOD enduro

And the galfer greens were excellent , my new favourite pads , initial bite is very impressive.
Even better than Rahox imho.
