What are you comparing the breaks to? I came off my Norton and thought the Tigers brakes were grabby. Now that I have gotten used to modern brakes the Tiger feel like it has an acceptable initial bite and good progressive feel. The 1st set of replacement pads I put on were EBC organic (or Kevlar) pads. The didn't have as much initial bite and felt pretty progressive but were lacking in overall power plus got a little weak when wet. As far as I could tell they caused more disk wear than the more aggresive Triumph pads. They only last half as long as the Triumph pads and cost half as much. I changed back to Triumph pads because I think they worked best all around. Better in the wet. I have since put on EBC floating disks and there HH pads. They work very well with even more initial bite that the Triumph pads but they are almost to much power for the Tourance tires I am running.
