WRP 'F0R' disc brake pads
Introduced late last year, Italian distributor Wind Trading is offering an updated WRP brake pad option for street bikes. The 'F0R' (F-Zero-R) is described as part of a "new, innovative sinter platform" and has been "especially developed for combined street and track day use".
The company says that "the performance will appeal to the rider using standard brake systems on high-performance bikes - either as a track day riding application or as an upgrade to the stock brake pads for the sportier rider".
This new compound replaces the existing F5R option in the WRP range, for the same range of applications, makes and models.
"Coming from a completely different platform of products, riders will experience increased friction and a much improved brake feel and control due to the higher heat resistance of the sintered compound.
"Sintered material has a denser structure for improved performance, feel and modulation, so will need a slightly longer bedding-in time, but the benefits will be noticeable."
These new F0R pads feature the internationally recognised Nucap Retention System (NRS) - a patented safety feature that sees NRS hooks on the backing plate embedded into the compound structure to create an indestructible bond between the backing plate and the friction material.
"Especially valuable under the extreme conditions where high performance braking is required (racing and sportier riding), the NRS feature is only used by selected high quality brake pad brands and is a key safety feature that all riders should look for.
"The new F0R range is approved to ECE R90 - a requirement for all replacement street brake pads throughout the European Union and in non-European countries that have adopted ECE regulations."
Founded in 1999, the full range of WRP products (Works Racing Parts) is distributed worldwide by Ravenna, Italy based Wind Trading srl.
