Description
GPFAX Sintered Road Race Brake Pads are for RACE ONLY use. This is a blend of brake pad that has higher friction and far better grip than any other brake product on the market.
GPFAX Sintered Road Race Brake Pads have by far the highest known friction with a measurement between 0.6 and 0.7 and deliver the most amazing brake effect. Because of this factor, they are unsuitable for street use or for road tyres.
Zero brake fade is guaranteed and the heat stability of these brake pads is perfect leaving the racer with high confidence and a product that can be used over numerous races.
GPFAX Sintered Road Race brake pads are a closed circuit use pad only and street/highway riding with this material is highly inadvisable and dangerous. Such high friction levels as delivered by these pads are for ideal track conditions with race tyres or slicks on prepared asphalt surfaces and NOT for use with highway tires or on the highway. This material is not ECE R 90 approved nor TUV tested with a German ABE and use on the highway is therefore illegal in many countries.
FEATURES
- Highest known friction level
- NOT TUV tested or ECE R 90 street legal
- Lifetime performance guarantee
NOTE: For racetrack use ONLY, not intended for street use.

Vehicle Information
Suzuki Katana 1000 Motorcycle - Street (2020-2024)
The Suzuki Katana 1000, spanning model years 2020 to 2024, is a modern naked sportbike known for its distinctive styling and performance. It is powered by a liquid-cooled, DOHC, 999cc inline-four engine, a street-tuned derivative of the legendary GSX-R1000 K5 engine, and is built upon the robust GSX-S1000 platform. Throughout this period, the Katana has primarily been offered as a single model, with variations mainly in color schemes rather than distinct trim levels. A significant mid-cycle update was introduced for the 2022 model year, which was then carried forward into 2023 and 2024. This update brought notable enhancements, including revised engine components for improved efficiency and Euro 5 compliance, leading to a slight increase in horsepower. Crucially, the 2022 model introduced a new ride-by-wire throttle, a bi-directional quickshifter, and the comprehensive Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) with multiple riding modes and an updated five-level traction control. The 2020 and 2021 models featured a cable-actuated throttle and lacked these advanced electronic rider aids. FAQ:
Q: Is my 2021 Suzuki Katana 1000 compatible with parts designed for a 2022 model?
R: Please use our year and edition selector to confirm compatibility specific to your motorcycle, as significant updates occurred in 2022.
