Stop me like a stoppy thing
Great brakes no squiling now.
Awesome service, and great brake pads.
Works super well
Hi Oscar, we're glad to hear the brakes are working well for you! Thanks for your support.
Factory Racing Titanium for TRP 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 TRP 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.
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.
