Recent technology has enabled innovators to develop friction materials from composites such as copper, bronze, iron, ceramic and graphite. Each of these elements has a specific function during braking thus improving the power and effectiveness even in extreme wet and dirty conditions. They also reduce overheating and ensure comfort and modulable braking operation even at low operating temperatures. Their development comes from racing use. Today, thanks to the research of compounds aimed for street use, Polini makes them available for all those motorcyclists that ask for better performance and safety. Sinter-metal mixture includes elements of copper, bronze, iron, ceramic and graphite. The brakes coated with the sintered mixture are highly effective in all conditions, including extreme wet and/or dirty conditions. This makes them the ideal choice for both race and heavy duty road use. The special mixture also allows safe, controlled braking when the ambient temperatures are low
