Friction coefficient vs temperature — shows how braking power holds up under increasing heat
Friction coefficient over 100 brake applications — shows consistency over time
Friction as temperature decreases — shows pad recovers full performance after heat cycles
First baseline vs second baseline — proves no degradation after extreme testing
Match your riding style to the right brake pad
Maximum stopping power when you need it most
Aggressive bite for precise rear brake control during balance point maneuvers
Handles mud, water, and debris without losing stopping power
Fade-resistant to 343°C for long descents and repeated hard braking
Higher friction coefficient (0.55-0.60μ) delivers powerful, confident stops
Smooth, predictable braking for everyday riding
Linear brake feel for smooth, controlled stops in traffic
Low dust keeps your wheels clean, quieter operation
Softer compound is gentler on brake rotors, extending their life
Consistent 0.48-0.51μ friction for progressive, easy-to-modulate braking
Choose the right compound for your riding style

For optimal performance, complete 20-30 stops from 15-20 mph before aggressive use. This transfers pad material to the rotor for maximum braking power.
Every compound is tested to SAE-J661 standards — the same testing used by automotive OEMs. Real data, not marketing claims.
Maintains consistent friction coefficient from cold to 343°C. No fade, no surprises when you need to stop.
27-36% higher bond shear strength than minimum spec. Pad material won't separate from backing plate under stress.
Designed specifically for the demands of electric motorcycles — instant torque, regenerative braking, and high-performance riding.
Our brake pads are tested according to SAE J661 — the Society of Automotive Engineers standard for brake lining quality testing. This ensures consistent, reliable performance.
TESTED & VERIFIEDProper bed-in ensures maximum braking performance and pad life
From 15 mph, apply moderate brake pressure to slow to 5 mph. Do not come to a complete stop. Repeat 10 times.
From 25 mph, apply firm brake pressure to slow to 5 mph. Again, avoid complete stops. Repeat 10 times.
Ride for 5 minutes without using brakes to allow pads and rotors to cool completely. Avoid holding brakes while stationary.
