Factory Racing Organic puts braking feel first for dry XC, road and gravel riding, with a quieter, responsive bite. This compound can wear very quickly in wet and muddy conditions. Factory Racing Stealth Purple pairs a steel backing plate with a quieter braking character for trail, road and gravel.

All Enduro Pro and Factory Racing compounds are e-bike rated. For heavy cargo, loaded touring and demanding descents, we recommend Enduro Pro Ultimate Orange or Enduro Pro Semi Metallic Blue in the correct fitment.

Which of the available compounds should I compare?

Factory Racing Stealth Purple pairs a steel backing plate with a quieter braking character for trail, road and gravel.

Which compounds are e-bike rated, and which do you recommend for heavy loads?

How should I prepare the rotor and bed in new pads?

Check the rotor’s condition, wear limit and permitted pad material. Follow the installation instructions for your caliper and our bedding-in guide, including rotor preparation when changing compounds.
