Standard Compound

• Characteristics: Organic resin mixture bonded to a durable steel backing plate. Delivers predictable modulation, minimal rotor wear, long service life, and whisper-quiet operation in wet or dry conditions.

• Best For: Cross-country, trail, gravel, and commuting riders prioritizing long pad life, smooth control, and noise-free operation over raw downhill bite.

Power Compound

• Characteristics: High-friction organic formulation on a steel backing plate designed for maximum initial bite, extreme heat resistance, and fade-free performance under heavy braking.

• Best For: Downhill racers, Enduro riders, e-MTBs, and heavy riders tackling steep, technical chutes where maximum stopping power is non-negotiable.

Power+ Compound

• Characteristics: The aggressive Power organic compound paired with a premium nickel-coated steel backing plate. Offers maximum bite while providing superior corrosion resistance and a sleek polished finish.

• Best For: Wet-weather shredders, alpine racers, and boutique bike builders looking for top-tier downhill power with maximum rust protection and high-end looks.

Power Alu Compound

• Characteristics: High-friction Power material mated to an ultra-lightweight aluminum backing plate, trimming approximately 10 grams per pair compared to steel-backed pads.

• Best For: Gram-counting XC racers and weight-conscious trail riders on rolling terrain. Note: Not recommended for long, continuous alpine descents or heavy system loads due to lower thermal mass.
