GPFAX Sintered Road Race Brake Pads are for RACE ONLY use. This is a blend of brake pad that has higher friction and far better grip than any other brake product on the market. GPFAX Sintered Road Race Brake Pads have the highest known friction with a measurement between 0.6 - 0.7 and deliver the most amazing brake effect. Because of this factor, these pads are unsuitable for street use or for road tires. Zero brake fade is guaranteed and the heat stability of these brake pads is perfect, leaving the racer with high confidence and a product that can be used over numerous races.
The material quickly builds from an initial friction level of 0.6 ( which in itself is a massive brake friction level rarely achieved by any competitor material) up to a huge 0.7 with a minimum in stop friction level of 0.65. This tiny fall off from 07 – 0.65 during braking would be almost undetectable by the rider allowing superb brake feedback and control at the lever and allowing feathering of the brake predictably and steadily throughout deceleration.
The new material also wears better and causes lower rotor/disc damage that previous materials and should be good for 4-5 race events of typical 20-25 lap duration minimum. Pads should be discarded when less than 2.5 mm of friction material remains to avoid fluid vapor lock due to excess piston fluid volume.
GPFAX Sintered Road Race brake pads are a closed circuit use pad only and street/highway riding with this material is highly inadvisable and dangerous. Such high friction levels as delivered by these pads are for ideal track conditions with race tyres or slicks on prepared asphalt surfaces and NOT for use with highway tires or on the highway. This material is not ECE R 90 approved nor TUV tested with a German ABE and use on the highway is therefore illegal in many countries.
