Brake Fade Resistance
Brake fade is the loss of braking power under high braking temperatures.
Unlike conventional brakes (such as cast iron or steel brakes), carbon ceramic brakes are less susceptible to brake fade since they don’t usually distort under high temperature conditions.
Additionally, a carbon ceramic disc is excellent at dissipating friction heat, so it’s less likely to reach an excessively high temperature. This allows the carbon brakes to provide steady braking performance whether you’re:
- Racing on the track
- Taking on hairpin curves
- Driving downhill
Durability
Ceramic composite brake discs are tough and highly resistant to wear, making them very durable compared to your average iron rotor or traditional brakes.
