Brake Pads - Triumph or EBC?

I'm just about to change the rear pads on my '06 955i Tiger (8000 miles). Triumph pads are £28 and EBC £17

So my questions are:
Are the Triumph pads really worth the extra money? (quite a lot of money!)

What pads are you using at the moment?

What is the difference?!!

Thanks,

I've been perfectly happy with EBC, although I tend not to hammer my brakes much.

Just changed my rears for EBC.

Bedded in today and it may be just me but they appear to give more "feel" and they appear to work much better with little pressure.

But my rears were standard before and shot so maybe not comparing apples with apples.

Talking Nissin pads

I would go for Nissin pads instead. (same as Triumph) - costs £24.
These are the best for ya Tiger.

I've got EBC HH fore and aft. I haven't a complaint.

Plenty of choice here for your rear pads... Anything from £11.00 up to £18.00 per set.

I got Ferodo pads last time for the front, and EBC for the back. The EBC back pads have lasted much longer than the OEM, same for the Ferodo, and they work much more effectively. I can't recall which Ferodo, but I think they're the Sinter off road....
