Its smooth braking feel and consistent brake release characteristics enhance driving control and safety.
HP5.0 - Dual Use High Performance Street
An evolution of the HPS - choose the HPS 5.0 if you would like a little more than the HPS. Optimal range of 100-550F and total range of 100-750 F. Aggressive torque. Great rotor & pad wear life.Smooth & predictable control. Designed to deliver high deceleration rates with out fade. Consistent brake release characteristics for a smooth braking feel
HP+ - Dual purpose street/track.
Truck compounds:
LTS - Light Truck/SUV.
Track Oriented compounds:
DTC-80 - Best Race Pad.
DTC-80 is a compound engineered for use on all circle track and road racing venues where a high torque, high temperature-resilient friction material is a must. With a formulated flat coefficient of friction at high temperature levels, DTC-80 provides consistent performance corner after corner. Track tested and proven effective, this formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials on the market today. The end results are better car control, more confident brake zone feel, and stunningly predictable performance.
DTC-70 - Max Temp
Extremely high torque with aggressive controllable initial bite. Superior release and torque control characteristics. Brake pads designed for cars with high deceleration rates with or without down force. Experience superior braking power and control with Hawk Alcon Mono6 Caliper Brake Pads. With aggressive initial bite and exceptional torque control, these pads are ideal for high-performance vehicles with quick deceleration rates. Whether you have a car with or without down force, these brake pads provide unmatched performance and precision.
DTC-60 - Race temp - more control
High torque with less initial bite than DTC 70. Superior release and torque control characteristics. Brake pads designed for cars with high deceleration rates with or without down force. Recommended for use with DTC-70 when split friction between front and rear axle is desired. Improve your car's deceleration rate with Hawk Alcon Mono6 Caliper Brake Pads. With superior release and torque control, these pads are designed for high performance vehicles, whether they have a front or rear down force.
DTC-30 - Mid Temp - more control
Brake pads designed Specifically for Dirt Circle Track applications. Uniquely controllable torque with smooth consistent feel and bite. Superior Release and torque control characteristics.
DTC-15
Developed specifically to meet the demands of Dirt Circle Track applications. DTC-15 brake pads are a medium torque compound (less torque than DTC-30, more than DTC-5) with superior release characteristics and excellent cold effectiveness.
DTC-05
Developed specifically to meet the demands of lower torque Dirt Track Racing. This friction formulation provides very controllable, higher temperature performance as compared to stock pads.
BLUE 9012 - Max torque
Medium/High torque and temperature compound with excellent brake modulation. #1 selling brake pad material for SCCA.
BLACK
Medium torque and temperature compound designed to be a good, all-purpose low- cost racing brake pad.
HT-10
Intermediate to high torque with a smooth initial bite. Very consistent pedal feel. Excellent modulation and release characteristics.
HT-14
Very high torque with aggressive initial bite. Excellent modulation and release characteristics. Brake pads designed for cars with extremely high deceleration rates and down force.
