Construction & Design:

The Z23 Evolution Sport brake pads are crafted using a high-quality ceramic compound infused with carbon fiber to boost friction and braking efficiency. This advanced material blend delivers strong stopping power while maintaining low dust output and minimal noise. The backing plates are powder-coated to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring durability and longevity. Additionally, the pads feature multi-layer rubberized shims that absorb vibrations and reduce brake squeal, contributing to a quieter ride.

Chamfered edges and precision slots are incorporated into the pad design to promote even wear and help dissipate heat, which enhances overall braking consistency and pad lifespan. The thermal scorching process applied to the pad surface accelerates the bedding-in phase, allowing you to experience optimal performance shortly after installation.
