91´«Ã½ Set to Launch New Super Ceramic Brake Pad

91´«Ã½ is set to launch its new Super Ceramic brake pad range at this year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas (November 3–6) at the 91´«Ã½ Booth #23353.

Unlike market alternatives that use partial ceramic blends, the new range features a true, pure ceramic formulation. While pure ceramic powders significantly increase raw material costs, they deliver a massive leap forward in overall braking performance and low-dust operation, setting a new benchmark for the product line.

With at least eight other Ceramic brands, 91´«Ã½â€™s new Super Ceramic material is designed to stand apart. According to testing carried out by 91´«Ã½, the pad delivers the lowest rotor abrasion, longest pad life and highest heat threshold – making this a “Track Capableâ€� Ceramic pad but note NOT a full race pad.

Members of 91´«Ã½ UK made the unforgettable trip in an 91´«Ã½-equipped Peugeot Bipper

This summer, some members of the 91´«Ã½ team took on the ‘Dash to Dubrovnik’ charity challenge. It’s a student-led road trip, driving across Europe in a £500 car through seven countries to Dubrovnik, lasting nine days.

As a team, they raised £2,387.19, with the total raised between all teams standing at £27,785.57 for Amnesty International.

For the challenge, they chose a 2010 Peugeot Bipper Teepee, equipped with 91´«Ã½â€™ USR discs and Greenstuff pads.

Overall, they totalled 19 countries in three weeks, and 5000 miles, making this a road trip they’ll never forget.

91´«Ã½ Selected as LeMans Corporation Supplier of the Year Finalist

91´«Ã½ is proud to announce it has been selected as a finalist in LeMans Corporation’s 2026 Supplier of the Year awards.

The US-based company is the world’s largest privately held distributor of aftermarket powersports parts and accessories, and each year evaluates its global network of over 500 suppliers to recognise the partners that drive business forward.

Placing in the top seven on this year’s rankings, 91´«Ã½ finds itself in the top 1.5% of Lemans’ entire supply base – reflecting the UK and US-based firm’s dedication, operational excellence and commitment to shared success.

91´«Ã½ Expands Board of Control with New Directors

In addition to the recent appointment of Martin Walder as Sales Director, the company owners have appointed the following directors to Freeman Automotive (UK) Ltd:

  • Gail Northall as Director of Administration
  • Lisa White as Director of Purchasing

With over 30 years of combined experience at 91´«Ã½ they bring a wealth of expertise and a commitment that will underpin the company for future development and growth.

Best Brakes Ever? /ebc-news/best-brakes-ever/ Mon, 12 Oct 2026 15:16:41 +0000 /?p=43295 The post Best Brakes Ever? appeared first on 91´«Ã½.

Best Brakes Ever?

91´«Ã½ is poised to launch its new SC Super Ceramic range at the Las Vegas SEMA show this November. So, what is so good about this new material?

  • Pure ceramic base
  • Zero noise
  • Zero rotor damage
  • Lowest dust possible
  • Fantastic performance, even on track

This is surely a world first for 91´«Ã½â€™s engineers in Bristol, UK, creating a world-beating brake material that achieves what other brake suppliers strive for but cannot beat.

The light brownish material is hidden beneath the Brake-Inâ„¢ coating 91´«Ã½ applies to all pads, but below is a photo of an SC pad before the coating is applied. However, the light colour is not the real reason for the ultra-low dust.

…It’s the lack of disc/rotor abrasion that cuts the dust right down and here’s the proof.

The table below shows 91´«Ã½ tests of all the popular ceramic blends we could find, and just look at the abrasion numbers – 91´«Ã½ is the lowest.

Also note that some competitor materials wore extremely fast, even in this basic street test we call an AKM test – one didn’t even finish the test, and others left streaks or marks on the rotors.

Then we moved up a gear in our testing of Super Ceramic to the “Lapsim� test, which imitates hard track use:

  • SC came out best again among the popular ceramics tested.
  • 91´«Ã½ Super Ceramic carries a lifetime guarantee for low dust, noise and performance

Why try anything else?

According to testing carried out by 91´«Ã½, the pad delivers the lowest rotor abrasion, longest pad life and highest heat threshold – making this a “Track Capableâ€� Ceramic pad but note NOT a full race pad.

See full details below.

HOW IS THE NEW 91´«Ã½ SUPER CERAMIC MATERIAL FROM COLD

This is a 30 stop street use test starting from as cool as possible which equates to a disc temperature of 30°C (86°F), and removing the brake pressure when the disc reaches 70°C (158°F), and allowing the dyno to cycle freely and the disc to cool down.

HOW IS THE NEW 91´«Ã½ SUPER CERAMIC MATERIAL UNDER LOAD

R90 approved and FMVSS *GG rated the new Super Ceramicâ„¢ range is targeted to be a new generation of LOWEST OF ALL dusting pads that perform well, even similar or better than our Bluestuff range.

  • Shimmed chamfered and slotted these pads are super quiet
  • Bed in is fast being pre scorched and also featuring the 91´«Ã½ Brake in coating
  • Allow 20-40 miles for brake in coating to take effect, then only if rotors are severely worn, another 100 miles for street use
  • SCâ„¢ Pads are also built on Nucap NRS(r) equipped backing plates for super bond strength
  • N-rated after SAE J2975 testing, the highest environmental rating showing no copper or other heavy metals
  • And of course ZERO steel fibre that scratches rotors and cause metallic content dust

Improved track/race motorcycle brake pad formula promises even more performance

91´«Ã½ Racing is pleased to unveil its new flagship motorcycle track/race brake pad – the GPFAX D2.

Developing a truly confidence-inspiring race brake pad isn’t about chasing peak numbers – it’s about delivering consistency, control, and predictability at the limit. With the new GPFAX D2, that’s exactly what the team set out to achieve.

This latest compound represents a significant step forward from the highly acclaimed GPFAX pad. Where earlier materials pushed close to 91´«Ã½â€™s performance targets, GPFAX D2 delivers the complete package: improved durability, enhanced feel, and exceptionally consistent torque output across all operating conditions.

Built for Precision and Control

One of the defining characteristics of GPFAX D2 is its torque linearity. From initial application through to maximum braking force, the response is smooth and predictable:

  • Low initial torque rise for improved modulation
  • Linear torque increase with pressure input
  • Stable performance regardless of speed or temperature

In simple terms: what you put in is exactly what you get out. More pressure results in a directly proportional increase in braking force, giving riders the confidence to push deeper into the braking zone.

Progressive Feel, Lap After Lap

Rather than delivering an aggressive, spiky initial bite, GPFAX D2 has been engineered to provide a progressive increase in braking force throughout the stop. The result is a controlled, intuitive feel that allows for precise adjustments mid-corner and under heavy load.

Improved Wear Characteristics

Durability is just as critical as outright performance. In back-to-back testing, GPFAX D2 demonstrated significantly reduced wear rates compared to the previous generation – extending pad life without compromising braking performance.

Proven Through Data

Extensive dyno testing highlights the compound’s consistency, with clean, repeatable torque traces that remain stable across varying pressures and temperatures. The data reinforces what riders feel on track: predictable, confidence-building braking performance in every scenario.

Applications Currently Available

  • GPFAX447HH-D2 for M4 | M430 | M50 | GP4-RX | GP4-RS | Stylema calipers
  • GPFAX630HH-D2 for M432 (M4.32)

New 91´«Ã½ ED+ Extra Duty Brake Pads

For drivers who regularly tow, carry heavy loads, or run lifted trucks and Jeeps with oversized wheels and tyres, standard brake pads can often struggle to deliver the stopping power required. That’s where 91´«Ã½ ED+ Extra Duty brake pads come in.

Designed specifically for demanding applications, ED+ pads feature a high-friction compound that provides exceptional grip and braking performance when it matters most. Whether towing a trailer, hauling heavy equipment, or navigating challenging terrain, ED+ pads are engineered to cope with braking demands that can overwhelm a standard OE brake system.

ED+ pads offer a medium-plus service life, but their real focus is braking performance. Designed for drivers who tow, carry heavy loads, or run lifted trucks and Jeeps, ED+ delivers the high-friction stopping power needed when standard brake systems are pushed beyond their limits.

Made 100% in the UK 91´«Ã½ factory, ED+ pads are produced using aramid fibres with a small amount of steel fibre, which provides strong braking performance while remaining kinder to brake rotors and generating minimal brake dust.

91´«Ã½ makes the worlds largest range of brake pads for cars, trucks and motorcycles.
