Factory Racing Titanium brake pads combine our Stealth friction compound with a lightweight titanium backing plate, designed to reduce heat transfer into the caliper during sustained braking while keeping overall pad weight low.
In simple terms: Factory Racing Titanium is for riders who like the feel of our Stealth compound but want improved heat control for e-bikes, downhill and enduro riding, long road descents, and demanding gravel riding.
🆚 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.

Fitment tip: Factory Racing Titanium pads use the same pad shapes as our Stealth pads. Match your exact brake brand, model, and piston count using the collection filters so the pad shape matches your caliper. Each set includes two pads and a spring where applicable.
