Compound

Disc RS Compound

Quiet, Powerful Braking

Disc RS delivers powerful braking and precisely balances the performance characteristics important to racers and everyday riders alike:

Consistently quiet operation
Smooth feel in the brake lever
Predictable and progressive brake power
Very high durability

Quiet Wet and Dry

Disc RS provides extremely quiet operation in all environments. In wet, dry, snow and ice conditions the compound is noiseless.

Organic Compound

Smooth modulation and rotor friendly.

Thin Backplate Design

At 1.6mm thick the steel backplate saves weight over standard designs, yet provides the preferred thermal characteristics, strength and stability of steel.
Reduced thickness backplate is offset with additional friction material, providing longer pad service life.

Balanced Performance

Disc RS offers a highly balanced combination of brake performance, durability and incredibly low noise in all conditions. This finely tuned compound provides an ideal riding experience which is not found in other disc brake pads.
