BGM front brake pads – organic – HengTong S51 Ø12 mm – Vespa, Piaggio, Gilera, Derbi, Aprilia
Control starts at the brake lever. The BGM front brake pads combine a specially developed organic friction compound with easily controllable braking performance and high temperature stability. This makes them a high-quality alternative for numerous Vespa, Piaggio, Gilera, Derbi and Aprilia models equipped with the HengTong S51 brake caliper and Ø12 mm guide pin.
Rather than simply replacing worn standard pads, BGM uses its own specifically developed compound with a focus on controlled braking behaviour and clear feedback. Whether riding through busy city traffic, commuting every day or pushing a Vespa GTS through a series of bends: especially at the front brake, it is not only braking force that matters, but also the ability to apply it precisely.
Power of Control – when modulation matters
The organic BGM friction compound is designed to combine braking performance, modulation and temperature stability. This allows braking force to be built up in a controlled manner while providing the rider with direct feedback from the front brake.
That perfectly reflects the BGM philosophy: performance should not only look convincing on paper, it should remain controllable on the road. Whether braking into a corner or repeatedly using the brakes in urban traffic, predictable response makes the crucial difference.
Organic friction compound with European manufacturing
The BGM brake pads are manufactured by a specialised European producer with more than 40 years of experience in the production of braking components. Experience from both road applications and motorsport is incorporated into their development and production.
The organic compound specially developed for BGM offers high temperature stability for an organic brake pad. The result is a brake pad set that combines BGM's sporting ambitions with the demands of everyday road use.
For HengTong S51 brake caliper with 12 mm guide pin
This brake pad set is intended for vehicles equipped with the HengTong S51 brake caliper and Ø12 mm guide pin. As different braking systems may have been used within individual model ranges, this specification is particularly important when selecting the correct pads.
The two brake pads have differently shaped black backing plates. The characteristic guide and mounting areas are clearly visible in the product images: one pad has an extended side section with an open mounting point, while the second pad features guide tabs designed for its specific position inside the caliper. The different contours are designed to work together and form a complete front brake pad set.
TÜV/KBA tested
The BGM brake pads carry TÜV/KBA approval markings. KBA number 61244 is shown on the pad and packaging. This combines BGM's technical performance standards with a tested design for its intended application.

More than just a wear part
Brake pads disappear inside the caliper – but their quality can be felt on every ride. With the organic BGM compound, the focus is not simply on maximum braking force, but on the combination of controlled response, precise modulation and thermal stability. That is what turns an inconspicuous wear part into an important component of a confidently performing chassis and braking system.
Fitment and installation information
Depending on model year and vehicle specification, different brake calipers and brake pads may have been fitted within individual model ranges. Before ordering, check whether the vehicle is equipped with the HengTong S51 brake caliper with Ø12 mm guide pin. We also recommend comparing the shape and dimensions with the brake pads currently fitted to the vehicle.
Brake pads are safety-critical wear components. When replacing them, the brake disc, brake caliper and other components of the braking system should be checked for condition and correct operation. Installation and the final functional check must be carried out professionally.
