The aim of the brake pads under development for the "ND-06S", which specializes in sports, is "deceleration at will" that synchronizes with the driver's sensibility.The direction we are aiming for is the same as the standard street sports brake pads, but the situation is different.
Friction material (friction material) has been boiled down in order to have excellent controllability in the harsh high load area of ​​winding to circuit driving.

The friction material is selected and blended from more than 15 types of raw materials according to the application.Mainly made of metal material that enhances fade resistance.However, since this material is highly aggressive to the brake rotor, it is necessary to mix carbon material to form a carbon film on the sliding surface and dare to slide it.By adjusting the mixing ratio of conflicting materials, we will determine the appropriate temperature range, controllability, stability, etc.

As a result, the proper rotor temperature for the new pad is 50 to 800 ° C, and the temperature range where 400% of the desired performance can be achieved is approximately 450 to XNUMX ° C.In other words, in which temperature range should the "delicious point" be set? ･ ･ ･ It is a place to show the skill of the tuner.

The new pad is not as versatile as it is for the street, but we are proud that it has a "effectiveness" that can be controlled with peace of mind in high temperature and high load areas.

Please look forward to it as it is about to be released.
