FOR INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY AND ABSOLUTE STOPPING POWER, THERE SIMPLY IS NO BETTER.

HIGHEST LEVEL OF BRAKING PERFORMANCE.

Bendix Ultimate brake pads are specially formulated to offer high friction, high temperature tolerance and a measurably better performance across a range of braking conditions.

» Hybrid Fusion Technology for optimum control » Unmatched stopping power & temperature control » Consistent pedal feel all day long » Suits sports, performance & luxury vehicles

They have exceptional stopping power giving you shorter stopping distances and a significant resistance to brake fade at high temperature.

Ultimate pads are recommended for fitment to front and rear to maintain balanced driving, for sports, performance and prestige vehicles. There is a reference to suit most high performance and prestige cars.

Ultimate pads are totally responsive to your driving style and provide total control. They offer excellent pedal feel and are ideal for energetic driving styles, competition and high speed touring and freeway driving.

ADVANCED INTEGRATED BRAKING PERFORMANCE.

Hybrid Fusion Technology is an innovative combination of Bendix braking science and engineering that allows us to create integrated braking solutions for different driving styles. Hybrid Fusion Technology seamlessly combines Bendix leading technologies with new friction material compounds. The result generates advanced friction performance through the fusion of the complete range of Bendix innovations. Hybrid Fusion Technology integrates different compound combinations that are formulated at a molecular level to determine how the brake pad material is structured with HPC Technology, Blue Titanium Stripe, and Fibre Impregnated Rubber Steel Shims into one innovative product.No other brake pad merges so many leading technologies to deliver such an advanced integrated braking performance.

CONSISTENT STOPPING. WORKS UNDER PRESSURE.

Brakes heat up after a few hard stops and the friction level decreases (fade) meaning you have to push harder to engage the brakes. As can be seen in the graph, Bendix Ultimate maintain their friction level even as the temperature rises with continuous stops, for the same pedal effort.

Not all brake pad material reacts consistently under increasing pressure. Testing different materials at well beyond highway speed produced some very interesting results. As this graph shows, when using general-pupose brake pad material, pressing the pedal harder doesn’t always result in a corresponding increase in braking power. The results with Bendix Ultimate brake pads are different. They have a linear braking response and react consistently, so when you push 20% harder on the pedal, you get 20% more braking. Perfectly suited to both high speed touring and freeway driving, Bendix Ultimate delivers absolute stopping power.
