Construction & Design

The Ultimax brake pads feature a carefully engineered friction compound that balances performance with longevity. Unlike many competitors that use up to 50% steel fiber content, Ultimax employs a significantly lower steel fiber percentage, optimizing pad wear and rotor preservation. This unique fiber blend contributes to the pad’s durability and consistent braking feel.

Each pad is precision-cut to exact specifications, including dimensions of 202mm length, 69mm height, and 19mm thickness, with a 78.4mm center hole diameter to ensure perfect fitment. The vented design of the compatible rotors enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use.
