The package contains four pads (one axle’s worth) and lists multiple OEM cross‑reference numbers so you can confirm compatibility. They are an intermediate upgrade intended for everyday and spirited trail riding; for extreme racing or heavy‑mud use, sintered pads are recommended instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do JAVIK Semi‑Metallic‑Pro pads perform compared with stock pads?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese pads combine metallic fibers with a specialized friction mix to deliver stronger initial bite and better fade resistance under heat than many factory organic pads.

JAVIK Semi‑Metallic‑Pro front brake pads suit ATV owners who want a practical performance step up from stock organic pads without the noise and rapid wear sometimes associated with full sintered compounds. They are ideal for daily trail riders, farm and utility users, and enthusiasts who want improved heat stability and brake modulation. If you regularly engage in extreme racing, heavy towing or prolonged downhill runs, consider JAVIK sintered options instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Are these pads a direct replacement for my Honda ATV?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — they are direct-fit for the listed Rancher, Foreman, Rubicon and TRX250 models; check OEM cross numbers to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many pads come in the package and are they front only?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The package includes four semi-metallic front brake pads — enough for one front axle set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"JAVIK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48084487274654,"sku":"B0BNQGM1DJ","price":31.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/javik-front-packaging-front-view.jpg?v=1785856952","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/javik-front-semi-metallic-brake-pads-for-honda-atvs-4-pad-set-improved-stopping-heat-resistance","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
