Factory Racing Hard is an e-bike-rated compound. Use this pad shape only with the compatible calipers listed here, and match the complete brake setup to your bike and total load.
This compound is suitable for all bicycle disc brake rotor types, including rotors marked “resin pads only”.
Rotor diameter and thickness must meet your brake manufacturer’s specifications. Check rotor condition and minimum permitted thickness before fitting new pads.
Compound performance
Strong dry and wet braking, with a performance profile that also highlights lifespan, quietness and heat dissipation.
Factory Racing Hard is shown as Factory Racing Green in the comparison data. Scores are approximate readings from the supplied chart; actual braking and wear depend on your brake setup and riding conditions.
Compound testing
These pads use a steel backing plate. The ratings shown on this page describe the Factory Racing Hard friction compound.
The graph compares pad compounds and backing-plate configurations, all tested with the Shimano XT RT86 rotor.
Each test run stopped when the measured caliper temperature reached 120°C, the stopping threshold used to protect the piston seals in this test setup. The horizontal axis shows rotor temperature. Sintered’s shorter curve means the caliper reached the limit at a lower rotor temperature.

All curves shown
This chart compares braking power for bedded-in pads, all tested with the Shimano XT RT86 rotor. The horizontal axis shows rotor temperature (°C); the vertical axis shows braking power (W). Each curve represents the compound and backing-plate configuration named in the selector. Compare curves within their plotted ranges; no result is shown beyond the end of a curve.
Follow the Factory Racing Green curve for the Hard compound. In the Shimano XT RT86 rotor comparison, its highest plotted output was approximately 1,010 W. Values are approximate reconstructions from the supplied graph. This result describes the tested pad and rotor setup, not a maximum power rating or a fitment test.
Test context: All pads shown can be good choices for their intended use when correctly matched to the bike and rotor, installed and bedded in. A lower or shorter curve does not by itself make a pad a poor everyday choice. Real riding temperatures depend on the route, total load, braking technique and setup; this test does not establish a temperature limit for the average rider. Rotor choice can substantially affect braking power, but these results apply to the tested combinations. This comparison does not guarantee the same improvement on another bike or identify one best pad for every rider.Follow the installation guide for your braking system, then complete the recommended bedding-in procedure before normal riding.

Your questions
Fitment, materials and performance explained.
These steel-backed pads fit the Intend Trinity EN, DH and TR. Check the model on the caliper you are servicing. The TR uses magnetic pad retention.
Choose this compound for rides where the conditions alternate between wet and dry.
Read the marking on the rotor and check which pad materials its manufacturer permits. If it is marked “resin only”, choose a resin compound approved for that rotor and your Trinity model.
One pack contains two pads and one spring for one caliper. For front and rear, check the model of each caliper and order one compatible pair for each.
