To develop the Z+ compound we started with a racing brake pad material and worked our way backwards. We wanted to provide the optimum stopping power that was suitable for everyday general purpose riding. Our Z+ pads are a DuPont Carbon-Kevlar (organic) compound that will work as well right out of a driveway as it does after a long day of hard riding. This is the most rotor friendly pad in the industry. It produces no dust, no noise, while providing 20% more stopping torque than stock pads. The service life generally averages about 18,000 miles. If you are running stock tires, stock chassis and your bike is set up for stock horsepower then you should use the Z Plus pads, as they will provide as much stopping torque as the stock tires and suspension can effectively manage. The Z Plus pads will provide a noticeable upgrade to the stopping power over the stock pads. The Gold Plus pads are a DuPont Carbon-Kevlar (Organic) compound and is our latest advancement in high performance friction materials. This racing formula offers extreme stopping power in both wet and dry conditions. This is as close as a full race pad as you can get without it actually being a race pad. We softened the compound to make it better for street riding while still providing premium stopping power. The Gold Plus pads are ideal for heavy touring and hard stopping. It produces no dust, no noise, and no rotor wear while providing 30% more stopping torque than stock pads. The service life generally averages about 18,000 miles. If you are running aftermarket tires, high performance engine, have tuned your chassis (i.e.Gold emulator valves, upgrade shocks, etc.), or ride with a lot of gear and pas- sengers on your bike, we recommend the Gold Plus compound as it is better designed to provide the most stopping power under any riding conditions. The Red Plus pads combine DuPont Carbon-Kevlar and a higher percentage of iron. They are specifically designed to provide the highest level of stopping power on a Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) Rotor. For stainless steel rotors please refer to our Z+ Plus and Gold Plus compounds as they will provide a longer and cleaner service life. When used with Metal Matrix Composite Rotors the Red Plus pads are dust free, noise free, and cause no measurable rotor wear. The service life generally averages 12,000 miles. If you are using our Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) Rotors then we recom- mend our Red Plus pads as they are designed to provide the most stopping power and longest service life of any other known organic pad. Our Gold Plus will also work with the MMC Rotors.
