GOLDfren began manufacturing sintered disc brake pads for a wide range of off-road and road motorcycles in 1991, nearly three decades on from their first motorcycle brake pads GOLDfren has become one of the largest aftermarket manufacturers in the motorcycle brake disc pad industry. Their development of next-generation products has kept them at the technological forefront of Sintered Friction Braking providing you with confidence in the performance, durability and reliability of your brakes.

GP7 Series:

The GP series is designed for road racing. It's recommended for riders who demand the best feel and stopping power on the race track. These brake pads are designed for faster bedding and high performance even under the heaviest braking conditions. The most characteristic feature of this production technology is the high and stable friction coefficient. The GP series is designed for low abrasive interaction with the rotor, high brake power and much quieter braking because of the ceramic composite material. The GP series features a stainless-steel heat shield for thermal isolation. The sintered compound contains sophisticated metal-ceramic friction materials specially formulated and designed for track racing only. The brake lining is specially treated for ultimate racing performance.

Features:

• Very high static friction coefficient
• Low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material surface
• The brake pad surface is specially treated
• Minimal difference between wet and dry braking performance

What is a sintered brake pad?

GOLDfren only manufacturers sintered brake pads that contain metal-ceramic and ceramic-carbon friction materials, these materials allow for less brake dust and a quieter braking experience. Sintered brake pads are made by fusing together metallic particles under high temperature and pressure which enhances friction properties and pad life, resulting in longer life and stronger braking. Sintered brake pads experience no brake fade when operating at high temperatures and in wet conditions. They also last up to 5 times longer than organic pads and provide additional braking strength. All materials used are environmentally friendly and do not contain any lead, asbestos, fibreglass or formaldehyde.

Reminder: one set of brake pads services one brake disc, if you are servicing multiple discs you will need multiple sets of brake pads.
