Chinese ATV Brake Pads

Shop by Brake System

Front Disc Brake Pads

Front disc brake pads for Chinese ATVs are available in single-piston and twin-piston caliper configurations depending on the model. We stock pads for both configurations, organized by brand and caliper type. Pad compound and thickness are confirmed for each listing.

Rear Disc Brake Pads

Rear disc brake configurations vary across Chinese ATV brands. Some use the same caliper as the front for simplified parts sourcing; others use a smaller single-piston caliper with different pad dimensions. Always source front and rear pads separately with model-specific confirmation.

Drum Brake Shoes

Many entry-level Chinese 50cc and 70cc ATVs, and some older 110cc models, use drum brakes rather than disc. We stock drum brake shoes for Chinese ATVs in common shoe arc lengths and widths. Drum brake adjustment should also be checked when replacing shoes.

Brake Calipers & Hardware

Complete caliper assemblies, caliper mounting brackets, and brake hardware for Chinese ATVs. If the caliper piston is seized or the caliper body is cracked, a complete caliper replacement is typically more practical than rebuilding a budget OEM unit.

Brake Lines & Master Cylinders

Hydraulic brake lines, banjo bolts, and master cylinder assemblies for Chinese ATVs using hydraulic disc brake systems. Lines should be inspected annually for cracking or seeping at the banjo fittings.

When to Replace Your Brake Pads

• Friction material has worn to 2mm or less — replace immediately
• Squealing or grinding sound during braking — indicates pads are past service life
• Lever or pedal travel has increased noticeably without a hydraulic fault
• Visible scoring on the rotor surface caused by metal-to-metal contact
• Machine has been stored for a season — inspect pads for glazing before riding

On a Chinese ATV used regularly, brake pads should be visually inspected every two to three months. Riding style, terrain, and load all affect wear rate. Front pads typically wear faster than rear on machines where the rider uses the front brake more heavily.

Understanding Chinese ATV Brake Systems

Chinese ATVs use two primary brake configurations: hydraulic disc brakes and mechanical drum brakes. Understanding which system your machine uses and how each system wears is the foundation for correct maintenance decisions.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Most Chinese 110cc and 125cc ATVs produced in the last decade use hydraulic disc brakes on at least the front wheel. Hydraulic systems use brake fluid under pressure to push the caliper piston against the pad. When brake pads are replaced, the caliper piston must be retracted before the new, thicker pads will seat in the caliper. A C-clamp or dedicated brake piston tool is used for this step.

Drum Brakes

Drum brakes are more common on 50cc and 70cc Chinese ATVs and on rear wheels of some entry-level 110cc machines. A drum brake uses a cable or rod to press brake shoes outward against the inside of a drum attached to the wheel hub. The system is simple and reliable but requires periodic adjustment as the cable stretches and the shoe material wears.

Brake Fluid Maintenance

Hydraulic disc brake systems require brake fluid compatible with the master cylinder and caliper seals. Most Chinese ATVs use DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years or whenever it appears dark or contaminated. Contaminated fluid absorbs moisture, which lowers its boiling point and can cause brake fade under sustained braking.

Bleeding the Brakes

Any time the hydraulic system is opened, or the caliper piston is fully retracted, air may enter the system and must be bled out. Bleeding involves slowly opening the bleeder valve at the caliper while squeezing the lever, allowing fluid and air bubbles to exit until solid fluid flows with no bubbles. A firm, consistent lever feel after bleeding confirms that air has been removed.

Why Buy From Get 2 It Sales

We treat brake components as safety-critical items, not generic stock:

• Every incoming shipment is physically inspected before it enters our inventory
• Parts are cataloged by brand and model, and bygeneric engine size
• Nearly 100 years of combined team experience in Chinese powersports
• Free shipping on orders over $100 to the continental USA
• Dealer program available for repair shops and resellers
• Technical support for part identification

Brake pads are one of the categories where generic fitment causes the most risk. A pad that does not seat fully against the rotor wears unevenly, reduces clamping force, and can cause the caliper piston to over-extend under hard braking. Every brake pad listing in our catalog is confirmed for the specific caliper it fits.

Rotor Inspection

When replacing brake pads, the rotor should be inspected at the same time. A rotor with deep scoring, heat cracks, or thickness below the minimum specification will wear new pads unevenly and compromise braking performance regardless of pad quality. Most Chinese ATV rotors have a minimum thickness specification stamped on the rotor face or listed in the owner manual. A rotor with light surface rust from sitting is generally serviceable. Apply the brakes gently a few times to scrub the rust layer off the rotor face before resuming normal use. A rotor with deep pitting, heat-induced bluing across more than a quarter of the surface, or visible lateral cracks should be replaced. We stock rotors for Chinese ATVs alongside our brake pad catalog. If your rotor is due for replacement at the same time as the pads, contact us with your brand and model, and we will confirm the correct rotor fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which brake pads fit my Chinese ATV?

Confirm the caliper model and bore diameter on your ATV. The most reliable method is to photograph the existing caliper from the front (showing the pad exposure window) and the side (showing the mounting bracket). Our team can confirm the correct pad from these images.

Can I use aftermarket pads on a Chinese ATV?

Yes, provided the pad dimensions match the caliper. Aftermarket pads for Chinese ATVs are often equal to or better than OEM in friction material quality. The key requirement is dimensional compatibility with the specific caliper, not the OEM part number.

Should I replace both front pads at the same time?

Always replace brake pads as an axle set. Replacing only one pad on a two-pad caliper causes uneven clamping force and disc wear. Front left and right pads should be replaced together; rear pads should also be replaced as a set.

How do I bed in new brake pads?

Perform five to ten moderate stops from around 20 mph without coming to a complete stop, allowing the brakes to cool between each. This transfers a thin, even layer of friction material to the rotor surface and ensures full contact across the pad face.

What is your shipping policy?
