ceramic brake pads
Italian specialist Ognibene has announced the addition of high performance ceramic compound racing applications to its lineup of TROFEO brand brake pads . " These brake pads are indeed ideal for racing thanks to their compound , as it ensures a modulable brake even at high temperatures . " The breaking power of these pads is really high as the mix of the materials used for the compound offers great resistance to wear . They deliver improved performance all the way from low temperatures right up to over 500 degrees centigrade ". Ognibene reports that when used with a TK racing brake disc , it recorded a cooling friction coefficient of 0.56 and 0.70 heat coefficient . Described as a " versatile new ceramic compound for road applications as well as on the race track ", TROFEO ceramic brake pads are available to the ever growing range of Hypersport models being offered . New packaging helps dealers to emphasise the high quality of Ognibene ' s TROFEO brake pad ranges .
