RB pads: the compounds
We offer a range of high-performance brake pad compounds designed to meet the demands of various racing applications. Find the best solution for you!
The RB-170 compound has a good level of bite but has a high wear rate when compared to RB-340. The compound can be used on the front and rear axle of many different types of race cars due to its stable torque output.
The RB-210 is ideal for the rear axle due to its lower friction coefficient and has a digressive torque curve at higher temperature ranges.
The RB-330 compound is slightly higher in bite when compared to RB-210 with a low wear rate. Works well on the rear axle however can also be used on the front axle applications needing a mid-range initial bite.
The RB-340 is the most popular pad compound used on GT applications today. Its Brembo’s most versatile compound and can be used on a wide variety of race cars. It provides good initial bite with linear torque and has good modulation. It has a stable performance throughout its life and has won numerous endurance and sprint events.
The RB-350 compound has first-rate characteristics even under extreme driving conditions and throughout the service life of the brake pads.
RB-350 offers higher initial bite when compared to RB-340 and is designed to work under more demanding applications with its resistance to fading.
RB-360 is Brembo’s newest pad compound. The initial bite is higher than RB-340 and lower than RB-350. It includes all the great qualities of RB-340 with a bit higher wear rate offering good modulation and release characteristics. Also offering reliable performance at a variety of temperature ranges due to its ceramic based material.
Your questions, answered
Yes, Brembo RB pads are designed to fit a wide range of calipers from other manufacturers. With 6 different compounds available, they offer broad compatibility across different braking systems.
Brembo RB pads are specifically designed for racing applications and may not be ideal for street use due to their aggressive compound and high-performance characteristics. For street riding, Brembo offers other pad options that balance performance with everyday usability.
The bedding process is essential to properly match the disc and pad, preparing them for the race. Brembo's pre-bedding, performed on a dynamometer, optimizes the process, saving time during assembly and creating a uniform transfer layer on the disc. This ensures proper friction without damaging the RB pad, improving geometric alignment, and reducing the risk of premature wear. The pre-bedding also minimizes the time needed to prepare the brakes, optimizing performance from the first lap on the track.
