Vibration is a function of balance and weight. Some pads that are the same weight and size will feel differently depending on how the pad is constructed. I notice this on both the UDM and the PC.

If you looked at the UDM DAS pad line you will notice that the pads are different size (thickness and diameter) based on function. In general, the more agressive the pad, the smaller the size.

The cost of a pad has more to do with material and labor than size. A straight cut disk has fewer steps than a pad with rounded corners, etc. The method of Velcro attachment is also a big factor in cost.

The explanation helps. I see now there is more to it than just pad size. Thanks
