GRAPHENpads® - the new era of braking confidence and consistency is here.. As used by Tadej Pogacar and other riders of UAE Team Emirates. 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.

IMPORTANT Due to the handmade nature of our pads, a thicker coating layer on the leading and trailing edges of the backplate can occur. If you find that your GRAPHENpads don’t want to slot into the caliper easily, or when inserted don’t move freely, please remove them and sand the leading and trailing edges of the backplate, until installation or free movement is possible. You can contact our Customer Service team for more information.

Even though our pads provide excellent performance and lifespan in all conditions, when cycling for a prolonged time (winter season for example) in very bad and highly abrasive conditions (thick mud, grit, wet sand) their lifespan will be reduced. We use an organic-ceramic base friction compound which by definition wears faster than a metallic friction compound.

  • 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).
  • 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. Our 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 our 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.
