I have tried them before. They don't last quiet as long and they don't have the grab that oem does, but they do get the job done for the price.

Get the EBC Severe Duty Pads. They'll run ya about $75.00 + shipping but thats still cheaper than stock. Plus they last me about 3 times longer than stock. The fronts will probably last forever!!!

I had a friend who ran them for like 2 races. Tusk is cheap but don't last. Everything I have bought named Tusk has broke like clutch, nerfs, etc, it is cheap though.

I race XC and went half a year on Tusk brake pads....I was very impressed they lasted that long and I will be back on them again for this season. Like stated above I counldnt tell any differance between the brake pads. I would say with normal riding fronts should last a year but the rear one you would have to change more often (rears wear like no other because your stopping all that spinning weight with one set of brake pads)
