Absolute Black GraphenPads Shimano XTR organic pads

GRAPHENpads® - the new era of braking confidence and consistency is here

Ceramic GRAPHENpads® are a completely new benchmark for the braking pad industry thanks to unique approach to the design of backplate cooling fins, bespoke backplate coating with graphene as well as a completely new friction compound, which uses specially modified graphene instead of toxic copper. These pads fit Shimano road calipers like Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105 and more.

GRAPHENpads® - the new era of braking confidence and consistency is here

Ceramic GRAPHENpads® are a completely new benchmark for the braking pad industry thanks to our unique approach to the design of backplate cooling fins, bespoke backplate coating with graphene as well as a completely new friction compound, which uses specially modified graphene instead of toxic copper. These pads fit Shimano XTR, XT brakes and more.

First pads on the market containing specially modified graphene in their friction compound, which greatly improves braking performance, durability and heat transfer to the backplate. Thanks to the backplates being entirely covered in graphene heat dissipating coating, it was possible to achieve much greater heat transfer from the friction material to the cooling fins and at the same time, increase radiation of heat (IR spectrum) by over 20% (which is very significant).


Features

• Predictability and power, allowing you to regain full control of your braking.
• Better modulation and faster stopping.
• Improved confidence when descending.
• No brake fade, more consistency and reliable braking feel corner after corner, even on the most demanding descends.
• They are very quiet, even during long descends.
• They reduce fatigue of your hands due to greatly reduced brake lever force needed to achieve powerful braking compared to competition.
• Usage: All weather conditions.
• In the box: Two pads (set per wheel), one spring. Packed in reusable aluminium can.

• First pads in the market with patented, angled radiator fins for superior airflow and cooling. Angle cutting provides three major benefits. 1- increased overall surface of the radiator by 40% vs standard cutting methods. 2- significantly greater airflow compared to traditional radiators that increases convective heat dissipation 3 –most importantly, 45deg angle cutting makes all the surfaces radiate the heat away from the brake pad. Heat radiation (IR spectrum) is the highest in perpendicular direction to the surface so in a standard radiator, every fin is radiating its heat at a neighboring fin, keeping more heat in the element.  pads radiate all the heat away from the back plate.
• To date, GRAPHENpads® are the only brake pads in the market that completely eliminate toxic copper, ahead of new regulations (copper brake dust is proven to be toxic to aquatic life hence new California regulation will ban use of copper from 2025)
• Extraordinary lifespan of the brake pads and rotors. According to  own tests single set of pads lasted on average 8000km ( 4900 mi) in hilly terrain. Graphene in disc pad friction material also prolongs the life of rotors by embedding graphene particles into micropores of the rotor braking surface.
• They are produced in EU unlike majority of other pads on the market, which come from a single Taiwanese factory.
