Construction & Design:

The Ultimax2 brake pads feature a carefully engineered friction compound that balances performance with rotor friendliness.

The pads are precision-machined with slots and chamfers to enhance heat dissipation and reduce brake noise.

Each pad is fitted with a high-quality friction shim to dampen vibrations and prevent squealing, ensuring a quieter braking experience. The robust backing plate and premium materials contribute to the pad’s durability and consistent performance over time.
