Up to 70% lighter than conventional steel-backed brake pads, the CF-3 S01 helps maintain consistent braking performance during repeated hard use while reducing thermal stress throughout the braking system. Pre-scorched and supplied with stainless steel shims, these brake pads are ready for use straight out of the box and are manufactured exclusively for track and motorsport applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the Benefits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"subheader\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe first fully composite automotive brake pad. Ever. \u003c\/b\u003eAfter five years of development alongside leading academics, brake pad manufacturers, professional drivers, and performance OEMs, Tribol Braking has launched the world's first fully composite brake pad. For its initial release, the CF-3 range is available in three key pad shapes commonly found throughout motorsport applications. Tribol's track-focused testing programme simulates repeated heavy braking at disc temperatures exceeding 600°C, revealing how these brake pads perform when it matters most. The CF-3 range delivers strong cold bite, stable friction characteristics, eliminates brake pad lift and brake fade. Most importantly, they provide the consistency and confidence drivers need when every tenth of a second counts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCarbon fibre composite backing plates.\u003c\/b\u003eAt the core of the CF-3 S01 is Tribol's patent-protected carbon fibre composite backplate technology. Built around advanced high-temperature resin systems derived from ablative heat-shield materials originally developed for space vehicle re-entry, it acts as an effective thermal barrier between the brake disc and caliper, helping to reduce heat transfer into the hydraulic system during repeated heavy braking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLowering brake caliper temperatures, when it matters most.\u003c\/b\u003eColdforge Carbon Fibre Composite Technology has demonstrated caliper temperature reductions of up to 70°C during testing and is continuously proven in the highest levels of motorsport. By keeping more heat out of the caliper, it helps reduce the risk of brake fluid boil, excessive pedal travel, and inconsistent braking performance as temperatures rise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUp to 70% lighter than steel-backed pads.\u003c\/b\u003eThe CF-3 range is 70% lighter than standard steel-backed brake pads, reducing unsprung mass directly at the wheel.
