Sintered Compound Construction
Manufactured by fusing metallic powders under high heat and pressure, creating a dense compound that maintains braking effectiveness across repeated heat cycles.
Compound includes: Copper (heat dissipation), Steel/Iron (wear resistance), Brass (corrosion resistance), Graphite (high-temp lubrication), Carbon fibres, Molybdenum Disulfide MoS2 (solid lubricant under pressure).
- Stronger initial bite vs ceramic
- High heat resistance, rated to ~1000°C
- Consistent friction during repeated braking cycles
- Suitable for spirited street, highway, and mixed riding
