Factory Racing friction compound Strong, consistent braking power under heavy load
Stiff, stable pad platform More consistent lever feel with improved control
High thermal stability Fade-resistant performance on long, steep descents
Precision fit Exact match for Shimano G / J-Type 2-piston calipers
