Factory Racing Titanium for Tektro combines our Stealth friction compound with a lightweight titanium backing plate to help reduce heat transfer into the caliper during prolonged or repeated braking. This helps maintain stable braking feel on long descents and high-load riding.

In simple terms: Factory Racing Titanium is ideal for Tektro riders who like the smooth, predictable feel of our Stealth compound but want improved heat control for e-bikes, downhill and enduro riding, long road descents, and hard gravel use.

🆚 Titanium vs Steel Backing Plates

Factory Racing Titanium and Factory Racing Stealth use the same Stealth friction compound. The difference between them is the backing plate material and how it manages heat during braking.

Feature Titanium Backing Plate Steel Backing Plate
Friction compound Stealth compound Stealth compound
Braking power & feel Identical Identical
Heat transfer to caliper Lower heat transfer during sustained braking Higher heat transfer compared to titanium
Weight Slightly lighter Standard
Noise behaviour Quiet when correctly bedded in Quiet when correctly bedded in
Best suited for Long descents, downhill, enduro, gravel riding, heavier e-bikes Everyday riding, trail, road & gravel use

In short: Choose titanium-backed pads if you regularly ride long or high-temperature descents. Choose steel-backed pads if you want the same braking feel and performance for general riding at a lower cost.
