XP10 – Competition Track Pad
XP10 provides aggressive braking torque with exceptional fade resistance up to 1475°F (801°C). This compound delivers strong initial bite while maintaining the smooth modulation Carbotech pads are known for. Designed for track use and competition racing.
XP12 – Advanced Racing Compound
The XP12 compound builds on the XP10 with increased torque and higher temperature capability. Operating from 250°F to 1850°F (121°C to 1010°C), XP12 is well suited for heavier race cars and high-grip tire applications.
XP20 – Professional Racing Compound
XP20 offers extremely aggressive bite with a very linear torque curve and excellent fade resistance. Operating from 275°F to 2000°F (135°C to 1093°C), XP20 is designed for serious competition environments.
XP24 – Endurance Racing Compound
The XP24 compound is engineered for endurance racing applications. It provides maximum bite, high friction levels, and exceptional durability under sustained high-temperature braking. Operating range: 400°F to 2000°F (204°C to 1093°C).
RP2 – Endurance Racing
The RP2 compound is optimized for endurance racing and long sessions. It offers strong initial bite with slightly less modulation than XP12 while maintaining excellent rotor friendliness. Operating range: 250°F to 1450°F (121°C to 787°C).
