Brake-Pads Organic MCB 557
Of course, scooters, off-road vehicles and low-powered motorbikes also need new brake pads now and then. TRW supplies excellent products for these types of vehicle, too.
And at an amazingly low price.
- Optimal performance and bedding-in time
- The KBA (Federal Motor Transport Authority) number on the brake pad plate is your guarantee of type approval
- The organic material is very durable
- Outstanding wet braking Ceramic underlayer prevents the hydraulics from overheating
- Good disc compatibility, including cast iron. Brake pad sets mainly with springs
- The exact dimensions of the brake pads are given in our "Documents" section.
The price is stated per set for one brake disc. Follow the safety instructions printed on the packaging, and avoid sharp braking for a few miles until the new pads have bedded in. This will prevent vitrification of the pads.
Be sure to watch the Louis Video *How to change brake pads*. Our tips and tricks make it a very simple job!

Info
Info
The ECE R90 regulation defines a set of internationally harmonized technical standards governing the design, performance, and safety of replacement brake components for road vehicles, including motorbikes. It ensures that aftermarket brake pads meet uniform, controlled performance parameters comparable to those of original equipment parts.
ECE R90 has been incorporated into European legislation as part of the broader EU vehicle safety regulation. For motorbikes within the applicable scope, ECE R90 approval replaces previous national certifications and serves as the mandatory standard for brake pad homologation.
With the introduction of ECE R90, the European approval system for replacement brake pads has been completely harmonized. In Germany, this regulation replaces the previous national ABE approval, which was issued by the KBA for all motorcycle models covered by R90. As a result, parts for newer vehicles no longer require separate German approvals; instead, they require the ECE R90 type approval mark as legally valid certification.
Scope
Only brake pads that have successfully passed the mandatory ECE R90 test procedures may be sold, distributed, or installed on regulated motorcycle models within the European Union and other regions that recognize UNECE regulations.
Motorbike brake pads covered by ECE R90 may only be marketed after the regulation comes into force if they bear a valid approval number and proper marking. For older motorbikes that fall outside the scope of the regulation, previous national approval procedures may continue to apply.
ECE R90 test requirements
To obtain ECE R90 homologation, motorcycle brake pads must undergo comprehensive testing that combines both an evaluation of performance in the vehicle and a laboratory analysis of physical properties. These tests ensure that the friction material properties of the replacement pads are at the same level as the OEM components, within the permissible tolerance range.
Safety-related performance tests
- Hot friction coefficient
- Average operating coefficient of friction
- Static friction (parking brake function, where applicable)
- Speed-dependent coefficient of friction behavior
- Compressibility
- Shear strength
- Thermal conductivity and heat transfer behavior
Marking requirements
ECE R90-approved motorcycle brake pads must bear a permanent marking on the backing plate. This marking includes the Emark (a circled E with the country code) and the unique R90 approval number to ensure complete product traceability and legal identification.
