The S3 sintered compound is optimal in dry and wet conditions for road and off-road motorcycles. In road applications S3 pads are suitable for both the front and rear brake while in off-road applications the S3 is only recommended for the front brake.

The S3 series is designed for low abrasive interaction with the rotor and quieter braking due to the ceramic composite material. It has an HH friction rating and performs better at higher temperatures than the AD compound. Friction materials contain metal-ceramic with a bronze-graphite and non-metallic friction additives that are spread evenly on the base fine bronze body to achieve optimal friction properties.

Features:

• Very high static friction coefficient.
• Minimal difference between wet and dry braking performance.
• Good abrasive resistance.
• Low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material.
• Longer life compared to organic and Kevlar composite materials.

Application:

• For riders who demand a bit more than average from their bikes.
• Recommended on both front and rear brakes (road application).
• Can also be used on the front brakes of off-road bikes and ATVs.
• Works well on both dry and wet conditions.

Operating Parameters:

• Specific pressure: 3.0 Mpa
• Sliding speed: 45 m/s
• Constant maximum temp: 450°C
• Short time maximum temp: 800°C
• Counter-surfaces: steel discs

What is a sintered brake pad?

GOLDfren only manufactures sintered brake pads that contain metal-ceramic and ceramic-carbon friction materials. These materials allow less brake dust and a quieter braking experience. Sintered brake pads are made by fusing together metallic particles under high temperature and pressure which enhances friction properties and pad life resulting in longer
