ME20 Brake Pads
ME20 is a semi-metallic compound, developed for racing and rally. It is a step up initial bite and is more “straight-forward” with regards to brake power. Originally developed for BTCC Super Touring cars where you have high traction afforded by suspension setup and tire compounds. The pedal feel and brake power is excellent and equal across the speed range with an easy modulation in all instances. With ME20 it is possible to perform very hard and late braking into corners. As with the friction and bite the ME20 is a step up in heat resistance compared to the ME22 and it has shown a very good stable brake performance at high disc temperatures over 650 °C. The wear characteristics of both pads and discs are low, and for cold weather and wet conditions it retains the same excellent resistance to water fade.
ME & N series
N35S has a slightly higher initial bite than ME25 and represents straighter line between initial bite and brake power. It is still easy to control and a special characteristic is that driver can initiate light braking with a slight touch of the pedal and then directly continue into a hard braking manoeuvre with high pedal pressure if it is requested. The lock up tendencies is low and it has the same easy modulation as ME25. N35S has proved to be very well balanced in both wet and dry conditions, which has made it very popular in rallying for both tarmac and gravel. It is also excellent for race cars with a very high traction and down force. This compound is very much liked by drivers that prefers not to use such a high pedal pressure and would like to have a quick initial bite and in that way keep the overall speed up and a good rhythm of driving. The high heat resistance is the same as ME20 and ME25, and so are the low disc and pad wear characteristics.
ENDURANCE RACING
Besides sharing all basic qualities of any Endless compound the MA45B is an top-of the line endurance compound developed for sport cars racing and similar. Suitable for all demands, from the heavier production based sport scars all the way to the pure prototypes, the MA45B is used world wide by a number of endurance teams with excellent results. For this compound the wear characteristics are exceptional and well above those for ME20. This makes it suitable for both medium and short distance endurance races (like 6 hour, 12 hour and 24 hour). The initial bite is high, yet the modulation is still excellent. This means a good combination of performance and control is achieved.
