What is the difference between organic and metallic disc pads?

Organic pads (resin-bonded) offer better modulation, lower noise, and improved wet feel but wear faster and can fade under extreme heat. Metallic/sintered pads last longer and resist heat fade better but can be noisier and require a longer bed-in period.

Do I need to bed in new disc brake pads?

Yes — bed-in transfers a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor surface, improving brake feel and reducing squeal. Do 15–20 moderate stops from 30 km/h, allowing the brakes to cool between each, before riding the bike hard.
