I have used the OE brake pads for around 15k kms during which, I had to change the pads every 8k kms. After I switched over to the Vesrah Ceramic Brake pads, I've noticed two things - longevity and braking impact. After I switched, I proactively attempted to change brake pads after 8k kms and noticed that not even half the brake pads were used. However, I went ahead and changed them anyway. W.r.t. braking impact, I would say they offer at least 40-50% better braking performance over the OE brake pads. These are my go-to brake pads for the Himalayan gong forward.
