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.
Technical Specifications
- MFG. Part Number GPFAX630HH
Vehicle Information
Yamaha YZF-R1 Motorcycle - Street (1998-2026)
The Yamaha YZF-R1, an iconic supersport motorcycle, has undergone numerous evolutions since its inception in 1998, covering models from 1998 to 2026. Powered by a 998cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, inline-four engine, it has consistently been at the forefront of performance. Early generations (1998-2001) set the benchmark with a compact design and a 20-valve engine. Major advancements followed, including the introduction of fuel injection and the Deltabox III frame (2002-2003), then a significant engine overhaul with under-seat exhaust and radial brakes (2004-2006). The shift to a 4-valve per cylinder engine and the integration of advanced electronic systems like YCC-T (2007-2008) marked a turning point. The arrival of the crossplane crankshaft and electronic rider aids (2009-2014), followed by a complete redesign with IMU and R1M/R1S versions (2015-2019), solidified its position. Recent models (2020-2026) have focused on Euro5 compliance, engine enhancements, and even more sophisticated braking and suspension systems, including special editions like the R1 RACE and the 70th Anniversary.
