Construction & Design:

The Z17 Evolution pads feature a ceramic friction material engineered to provide smooth, consistent braking with minimal dust generation. The powder-coated steel backing plates protect against rust and corrosion, ensuring durability in various driving conditions. The pads are precision-molded using positive mold technology, which guarantees uniform thickness and shape for even wear and optimal contact with the rotor.

Additionally, the thermal scorched surface treatment enhances the pad’s ability to break in quickly, reducing the bedding time and delivering dependable performance from the start. The chamfered edges and slots help reduce noise and prevent uneven pad wear, contributing to a quieter and longer-lasting braking system.
