A sophisticated metal-ceramic formulation for racing use, GP5 material is produced by "Progressive Powder Technology" – a leader in the field of sintered technologies.
This material is designed only for applications in road motorcycle races.
Use specifically for the front brake.
About the GP Series:
The GP series is optimal for road racing. It's recommended for riders who demand the best feel and stopping power on the race track. These brake pads are designed for faster bedding and high performance even under the heaviest braking conditions. The GP series is designed for low abrasive interaction with the rotor, high brake power and much quieter braking because the ceramic composite material. The GP series features a stainless-steel heat shield for thermal isolation. This sintered compound contains sophisticated metal-ceramic friction materials specially formulated and designed for race use.
Features:
- Very high static friction coefficient.
- Low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material.
- Specially modified braking surface.
- Application of heat shield on the back side.
- Minimal difference between wet and dry braking performance.
- Good abrasive resistance.
- High braking power up to 550°C (max. 800°C).
- The sintered friction material is soldered to the copper-coated backing plate, so separation (which can happen with organic materials) is virtually eliminated as a failure risk.
- Continuous braking effect.
Note: Braking performance is significantly influenced by the quality of the braking surface of the disc, by the age and quality of the brake fluid, and by the correct choice of complementary friction pad material.
