Galfer's Sintered compound is the result of years of testing in all kinds of riding and all types of terrain. Based on advanced ceramics, this compound is designed to deliver excellent performance in all aggressive scenarios. It offers very fast heat recovery for more consistent braking which, in turn, gives the rider more "feel" and control. These pads are very easy on rotors since they do not have the same levels of metallics in them as many O.E.M. and after-market brands. This compound also features ceramic composites in its mix, which help to dissipate heat. This gives you a cooler running system that will be able to withstand more heating cycles and deliver consistent braking. For moderately aggressive riding on street or off-road. Great for everyday sport street riding, canyons and aggressive or heavy braking. For off-road applications, this compound is excellent in varying conditions, handling high heat and race use.
