MSR S-Matrix (sintered matrix) ultimate compound brake pads. - Race Use Exclusively

Bendix’s S-Matrix (sintered matrix) racing brake pads are the ultimate race pads from Bendix. These pads are designed for road race use only. In fact, we’re talking top level road racing such as Grand Prix, Superbike, Endurance and Supersport/Superstock. These pads provide very high initial bite with a very "flat" or level stopping power (little or no servo effect if you like). Wear rates are praised by World Endurance race teams, whom managed to race full 24H distance on the same set of pads (special Endurance Racing brake calipers / 9 mm friction material) For World Supersport teams fit new pads for Sunday warm-up and do the race with bedded pads. The following race meeting the race pads are used for all practice and qualifying sessions. This means 1 set of pads for 1 World Championship meeting, the pads are still OK for further use but they do a lot of km´s in a weekend and this is their procedure for best performance and safety.

Bendix has developed S-Matrix pads to bring a braking advantage at the highest levels of motorcycle racing and may only be used for front wheel applications.

This new “state-of-the-art” Bendix S-Matrix brake pad compound and specialised manufacturing technology has been developed over a period of 3 years. Severely tested in Bendix’s high-tech brake-dyno and bike tested by World Championship race teams to withstand the extreme load from speed and temperatures this level of racing subjects brake components to. Bendix S-Matrix also meets the expected performance requirements of the future development of engine power, suspension and tyre technology.

Using the very latest compound and treatment technology S-Matrix pads will out-perform ceramic, traditional sintered metal and carbon-metallic pads, particularly at the high disc temperatures associated with top-level road racing.

Bendix S-Matrix (sintered matrix) offers the following benefits:

• No thermal bedding-in or brake fade due to new sintering technology
• Very high initial bite
• Very high friction level and linear feel and power (No climb in friction curve towards the end of stops i.e. little or no servo effect)
• Consistent brake performance and brake lever position
• Very high thermal stability
• Extremely low pad wear
• Available for majority of new Superstock, Supersport and Racing brake calipers
• Recommended for top level World Championship and Endurance road racing
• For race use only

NEVER USE THESE BRAKE PADS FOR NORMAL ROAD USE.
