EBC GPFAX Sintered Race Brake Pads GPFAX244HH

This listing is for a full front set (2 calipers worth) of EBC GPFAX Racing Brake Pads

GPFAX Sintered Race Brake Pads are for RACE ONLY use. This is a blend of brake pads that has higher friction and far better grip than any other brake product on the market.

Race Brake Pads

GPFAX Sintered Race Brake Pads have by far the highest known friction with a measurement between 0.6 and 0.7 and deliver the most amazing brake effect. Because of this factor, they are unsuitable for street use or for road tires.
Zero brake fade is guaranteed and the heat stability of these brake pads is perfect leaving the racer with high confidence and a product that can be used over numerous races.

GPFAX Sintered Race brake pads are a closed circuit use pad only and street/highway riding with this material is highly inadvisable and dangerous. Such high friction levels as delivered by these pads are for ideal track conditions with race tires or slicks on prepared asphalt surfaces and NOT for use with highway tires or on the highway. This material is not ECE R 90 approved nor TUV tested with a German ABE and use on the highway is, therefore, illegal in many countries.

There is no liability or guarantee or responsibility accepted by EBC brakes or its affiliates or officers for incidents or costs occurring in such race use.

Preparing your race discs/rotors before using this Compound

Many pads contain carbon particles some in high percentages and this leaves a grey glaze on rotors. This MUST be removed by fine abrasive paper or what is known as a Scratch Pad in the USA. Take care not to promote deep scratches on the rotor which will cause prolonged bed in times.

Bedding in your new brake pads

After installing the pads ride the bike for 2 laps very gently applying the brakes well in advance of where you wish to stop at speeds not exceeding 80 MPH. Proceed a further 2-3 laps gradually increasing the brake load until you feel the pads become stable and predictable.

Bedding into worn or distorted discs/rotors will be dramatically longer.

Inspect pads every Race for wear on EACH pad and replace when any single pad is down to 2.5 mm or lever becomes spongy. Different brake systems respond differently and have differing amounts of fluid in their piston chambers and the time for an ideal replacement of the pads due to loss of brake feel can only be assessed by the individual rider and bike.

Brake fluid considerations

Old brake fluid affects the sponge and brake feel. Most brake fluids are Glycol based and over time their hygroscopic nature means they will absorb moisture even through the brake lines. As amazing as this sounds it does happen and fluids can contain as much as 12% water by volume in worst cases.
