Sintered brakes contain metal particles and are formed under extreme heat. They last longer than regular organic pads and resist heat fade. Compared to organic brakes they usually have more bite or grab but may feel easier to modulate because of their resistance to fading under extreme conditions.

They will wear out a cast iron disc pretty fast. Stainless steel discs last much longer. I believe the RX3 discs are stainless.

Sintered is generally a better choice for off-road and race conditions because of the constant braking. It's also good for hilly areas and mountain highways.
