Advantages of Brembo Xtra (Drilled Discs)

Pad cleaning and regeneration

The holes produce a scraping effect that cleans the surface of the pad from hazardous material deposits, thus preventing that even the slightest amount of ferrous material – that come from the brake disc wear- can sediment on the friction material of the brake pad.

Wet brake performance

The holes serve to prevent water film that may form on the braking surface. Even when driving on slick roads the brake system responds effectively already at the first braking.

Brake system cooling

The presence of the holes leads to greater air circulation, resulting in improved heat dissipation capability and its increased performance.

Grip

The holes on the brake disc surface ensure high grip and efficient, prompt response.
Especially in the early stage of braking, the surface of the holes ensures optimal performance, thanks to the significant friction coefficient.

Maximum friction even at high temperatures

At high temperature combustion of the resins that make up the pad generates fading, with decreased friction between pad and disc.
These holes allow for rapid expulsion of gasses and a stable behaviour even at high temperatures.
