What to Look Out for When Buying Polaris Sportsman Touring Brakes Replacement Parts?
OEM Replacement Parts vs Aftermarket Parts (+ Upgrades)
If you're in need of replacing parts or making upgrades to your Polaris Sportsman Touring braking system, you'll need to choose between OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement parts or aftermarket replacement parts.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer which means that these parts are designed to match the exact specifications of your vehicle, guaranteeing a perfect fit and reliable performance every time as these are the same as the ones that came on your ATV.
They're manufactured to the highest standards set by the original manufacturer and typically come with a decent warranty. On the other hand, aftermarket parts provide a wider range of options for customization.
They may offer cost savings and features to improve the performance or appearance of your Sportsman Touring which means that instead of just replacing parts, you can also upgrade them and make your ATV better.
However, it's critical to thoroughly research the quality and compatibility of the aftermarket product and brand you choose.
Safety, Performance, Professional Installation
The braking system plays a critical role in keeping you and your Polaris Sportsman Touring safe, especially during off-road adventures which is why you should always be extremely careful when doing anything with it.
When purchasing brake components, look for performance benefits such as improved stopping power, enhanced heat dissipation, and durability while adhering to all of the safety standards.
High-quality brake pads and rotors can provide superior performance and responsiveness, ensuring you have optimal control in various terrains and conditions.
Braking systems are notoriously complex and require precise installation. Because of that, you should only install your brakes via a professional technician.
Professionals have the expertise and specialized tools to accurately fit and align the brake components, avoiding potential issues such as brake drag, uneven wear, or reduced braking efficiency.
Longevity, Build Materials, and Durability
The longevity and the performance of your Polaris Sportsman Touring braking system are greatly impacted by the quality of materials used, so do not skimp on build materials when going for new brakes or replacement parts.
To ensure durability and performance, it's best to opt for brake components made with materials like heat-treated carbon steel for rotors and ceramic, semi-metallic, or organic compounds for brake pads.
Heat-treated carbon steel rotors provide excellent heat dissipation, reducing the risk of warping and ensuring consistent brake performance, making them the ideal choice for off-road riding.
Carbon steel rotors are highly durable and can withstand off-road demands, ensuring a very long service-free lifespan.
When it comes to pads, ceramic compounds are highly durable, produce minimal brake dust, and offer a quiet operation.
Semi-metallic pads provide superior stopping power and durability and are suitable for heavy-duty use. On the other hand, organic pads are preferred for lighter recreational Polaris Sportsman Touring riding.
