Heat reduction
Thermally insulating by design. Tribol's composite backplates keep braking consistent when it matters most.
79%
Lighter than steel
Reduced mass. Sharper response. Tribol's full composite backplate is 79% lighter than a mild steel equivalent - improving response, feel, and confidence under braking.
100%
Rust-free
Corrosion-free, always. Steel corrodes over time, our composite construction is rust-free – keeping your brakes safe.

Bedding Procedure
Correct bedding ensures your pad and rotor are working together. For most track use this requires just 1-2 sighting laps. Follow the performance bedding procedure before extreme track use to ensure optimal braking and consistent friction.
Disclaimer
Track Use Only
These pads are designed exclusively for closed-circuit track and motorsport use.
Installation
Brake components must be installed in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures and torque specifications.
Bedding Required
Correct bedding is essential to achieve optimal braking performance.
Tribol cannot be held responsible for damage, injury, or performance issues resulting from incorrect installation, misuse, or failure to follow the recommended bedding procedure.
"I genuinely felt the difference on track"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kirsty Mansell - FernGP, Formula 3 championship driver.
"Saving 1kg of unsprung mass... it makes a real difference behind the wheel!"
FAQ
Some of our more common questions are listed below - for anything else, head to the contact form
What are the performance attributes of your pad compound?
Further information on everything from friction coefficient to expected wear and modulation for our pad compounds can be found here
How do I know your pads will work?
We've spent the last five years testing our pads above and beyond regulatory standard with OEM's and Tier 1 and 2 corner assembly and pad manufacturers. A detailed breakdown of our testing can be found here
How is your pad held together?
Ensuring the friction compound does not delaminate from our ColdForge backplate is the subject of two patents developed at Tribol - more information on our mechanical retention system can be found here
