TUSK Rear Brake Pad — Sintered Metal Replacement for KTM/Husqvarna (Direct-Fit, Long-Life)

TUSK rear brake pad made from sintered metal delivers strong, consistent stopping power and long life for compatible KTM and Husqvarna dirt bikes. This replacement pad is engineered as a direct-fit substitute for specified KTM and Husqvarna rear brakes, offering a durable sintered copper-alloy friction compound designed for aggressive trail and race riding. It installs like the OEM unit (replaces part number 54813090300) and is formulated to perform well in wet and dry conditions while resisting wear under heavy use. Use the fitment guide image to confirm compatibility with your model year and chassis.

How does this pad improve braking performance on rough trails?

The sintered copper-alloy compound creates higher friction and better heat tolerance than many organic pads, which helps maintain bite under repeated stops and in muddy or wet environments. That translates to more confident modulation and reduced fade during long descents or aggressive laps.

• Higher friction coefficient for quicker initial bite
• Improved heat resistance reduces fade during heavy use
• Consistent stopping feel across wet and dry conditions

Will this part fit my KTM 250 SX-F or Husqvarna FC model?

This pad is manufactured to match the OEM geometry for the listed KTM and Husqvarna models. Confirm fitment using the included fitment guide image or by comparing to OEM part number 54813090300 before ordering to ensure correct alignment and mounting.

• Direct replacement for KTM models 2005–2026 listed in the product title
• Compatible with Husqvarna FC250/350/450 model years 2014–2025
• Matches OEM shape and mounting points for straightforward installation

How durable is the TUSK sintered pad compared with OEM pads?

Sintered pads are built to withstand abrasive conditions and high temperatures, which typically extends service life versus many organic compounds. Expect slower wear rates when used under similar riding conditions, especially in gritty or wet environments that accelerate pad loss.

• Heavy-duty sintered metal resists abrasive wear
• Designed for longevity in off-road and racing use
• Stable performance reduces the need for frequent replacement

Are there any installation or break-in tips I should follow?

Install this pad the same way you would an OEM rear pad—ensure the caliper and rotor are clean, and use correct hardware torque. Bed the new pad in with progressively harder stops from moderate speed to seat the pad surface to the rotor without glazing.

• Clean rotor surface and inspect caliper before fitting
• Torque mounting hardware to manufacturer specs
• Perform a gradual bedding-in routine to optimize initial bite

Who is this for Riders who demand dependable rear braking under aggressive trail, enduro, or motocross conditions will benefit most from this TUSK sintered rear pad. It’s a practical upgrade for racers, hard-pack and wet-condition riders, and anyone replacing worn OEM rear pads on the compatible KTM and Husqvarna models who wants longer life and consistent performance under stress.
