\"Wild<\/a><\/p>\n

Your RZR 1000 S came back from the river bottoms dripping and caked in gray clay. The ride was great. The squeal from the brakes on the drive home was not. If that sounds familiar, the pads may be wearing out faster than you think.<\/p>\n

We make Wild Boar Brass Brake Pads for the Polaris RZR 1000 S (2016-2023)<\/a> for riders who spend a lot of time in mud and water.<\/p>\n

What wet riding does to brakes<\/h2>\n

Brake pads sit right next to the wheels, so they take a beating every time you go through a mud hole or a creek. Water gets between the pad and rotor and cuts down on bite. Mud brings sand and grit, and that grit grinds away at both pads and rotors like sandpaper. Softer pad compounds can wear down quickly in those conditions, and some riders notice the brakes feel weaker after a few deep crossings.<\/p>\n

Why brass pads<\/h2>\n

Brass pads are a favorite with mud riders for a reason. The harder metallic material is built for durability and holds up well when it is packed with mud and soaked with water. For a RZR 1000 S that sees swamp rides, wet trails and creek crossings, that means pads that last longer and brakes that stay more consistent in the conditions you actually ride.<\/p>\n

Brass pads can be a bit noisier than softer compounds, but most mud riders gladly accept that in exchange for pads that last through a wet season.<\/p>\n

Habits that help<\/h2>\n

Good pads go a long way, but a few habits help even more:<\/p>\n
