🔥 Compound: Factory Racing

The Factory Racing compound is engineered for high-load performance. Advanced friction modifiers improve bite and stability while maintaining predictable modulation, helping reduce fade during long descents and repeated heavy braking — especially on e-bikes and fast riding.

Feature Performance Benefit
High-friction performance compound Strong braking power with controlled modulation
Improved thermal stability Reduced fade on long or repeated descents
Stable backing plate support Consistent pad contact under heavy braking
Wear-resistant formulation Reliable pad life for performance riding and e-bike loads
Precision-matched pad shape Exact fit for Shimano L / K-Type calipers

Note: High-performance compounds may produce more noise than Stealth or Organic pads, particularly in dry conditions.
