Custom motorcycle/powersports brake pad compounds
All Performance Friction compounds have similar relative density, structural integrity, compressibility and Rockwell hardness, in the range of medium to hard. Performance Friction pads are among the few that can offer excellent stopping power plus excellent wear characteristics of both the pad and disc. The difference in compounds is a measure of the characteristics of that compound, rather than a measure of its softness or hardness.
93 Compound
Only for use on iron discs. This compound has high initial bite
and very high average torque. Long pad life and easy on discs. There
is a slight torque rise with temperature to handle the most extreme
conditions. 93 is one of the most popular race compounds in the 4-wheeled
race market and considered the benchmark material for many other pad
manufacturers.
95 Compound
Similar characteristics to 93, but specifically developed to cope with
stainless steel discs. This compound is the most widely used for bikes
and can be used on both stainless and iron discs. Provides the same advantages
as 93; excellent bite, good controllability, virtually fade free, excellent
wear rate, very good release. 95 compound is the choice of champions,
having been used by Troy Bayliss and John Reynolds to win the World and
British Superbike Championships respectively.
96 Compound
This is the latest race compound. Similar to 95 but possesses slightly
higher initial bite with higher cold and wet bite performance. Slight
sacrifice in longevity compared to 01. This compound is ideal for smaller
diameter discs such as the Brembo 290mm race disc where brake effectiveness
is not compromised in return for improved turn-in and handling. Can be
used both on Stainless and iron discs.
01 Compound
This is one of the newest generation and the most advanced race compounds
in the PFC range. Slightly higher bite and torque for the first 2/3’s
of the stop when compared to 93 and 95 compound. At the end of the stop,
01 compound has less torque scatter for improved modulation with excellent
release and a flatter torque curve. Very easy on the discs with very low
wear. Can be used both on Stainless and iron discs.
28 Compound
28 compound is offered for Snowmobile applications only. It offers
a very progressive feel with excellent high temperature wear characteristics.
28 makes an excellent higher friction OE replacement pad and is priced
competitively For Ovals or Ice LeMans where traction is abundant, 90 compound
is recommended. 28 has been used with great success by top ten teams and
overall Pro Champions in ISOC and MRP.
