🆚 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.
Factory Racing Titanium for Campagnolo combines our Stealth friction compound with a lightweight titanium backing plate to help reduce heat transfer into the caliper during prolonged braking. This supports stable braking feel on long road descents and sustained high-speed riding.
In simple terms: Factory Racing Titanium is ideal for Campagnolo riders who want the smooth, predictable feel of our Stealth compound with improved heat control for long descents, endurance road riding, and demanding gravel use.
