New disc brake compound for upcoming Polar-Tech pads feature!

Last week we gave you a first look at the soon to be released Polar-Tech finned disc brake pads. This week, we’d like to introduce you to the new disc brake pad compound that the Polar-Tech pads come out of the box with. 

Our latest Graphene-Tec compound offers levels of heat dissipation and braking power greater than ever, whilst creating a friction material structure that is reinforced enough to be able to withstand the rigors of the most demanding riding conditions!

With this compound, we have also been working towards reducing the amount of copper used, making these a more environmentally friendly selection. Copper is quite difficult to replace, as it contributes strongly towards heat dissipation, and also as an effective friction and lubrication material. We’ve achieved this without compromising on any of the brake performance by using higher percentages of Graphene, Kevlar, and Ceramics.

 This material is then bonded to our brand new Polar-Tech CNC machined alloy finned backplates. The heat sinks on the fins have increased in size to further aid the efficiency of heat dissipation, thus increasing the pads modulation, feel, and overall performance, whilst keeping the brake fluid and rotor surface temperatures to a minimum. For the first time, we are able to offer the Polar-Tech pads in a range of colours, adding that custom upgrade look and feel to your bike.
