High friction race compound sintered metal brake. Developed to meet and exceed the extreme demands of top-level national and international circuit racing.
This pad maintains DP BRAKES industry leading status as innovators of sintered pads. Our tagline....The FIRST...the BEST...the LEADER is something we believe in and try and maintain.
The pads are be called RDP X-Race Titanium which are specifically a high friction front brake pad for track use.
Our existing RDP compound had been used successfully for many years but was becoming less competitive when used in top-level racing. We wanted to build on the many outstanding features of the old race pads but add more friction and control to enable lap times to be reduced. During development we used our in house dyno and experienced racers to test a range of compounds. Two years and many hours of dyno and track testing proved we had managed to combine two new elements into our race mix to achieve our aim.
The X-race Titanium compound outperforms the old RDP pad and consistently achieves lower lap times by enabling riders to brake later and trail brake in to the corner with a very high degree of control. The existing qualities of quick bed in, no noise, dust, wear to the rotor and durability are also maintained.
Pads were delivered very quickly. Fitted to my RR9 Fireblade & the difference is amazing. They bedded in after a couple of miles & genuinely proved 2 finger braking with no effort. Huge initial bite & grab even when cold. The bike is used on the road only & whilst I like a very strong front brake some may prefer the more progressive nature of the Sport compound pads. Module Moto stock both types so its down to your personal preference & the Sport pads are cheaper. For me the Race compound is worth the extra & they are cheaper than other brands too. Bonus!

Brilliant pads, great initial bite and not too grabby, then immense power, the more you pull, the more braking effect you get. Fantastic feel and great for trail braking.
