Good point - As GULG suggests, if you do a good proportion of your riding off road then the R series EBC pad is probably going to work better for you than the TT.

It is probably worth clarifying that the R is sintered pad and the TT is an organic Kevlar pad.

Sintered pads last longer and work better in the wet, but chew-up/score discs up more quickly and have a more abrupt action (less �feel�). Organic pads have a more progressive �feel� and are kinder to discs, but wear a bit quicker and aren�t quite as effective in extreme conditions.

It�s horses-for-courses (bit like tyres). Choose the compound that suits your riding activity, budget and what feels right at the bars. Personal choice really; the only way you�re going to find out what suits you in the long run is to try all the different compounds/permutations.
