What it is |
|
| StopFlex Carbon Ceramic Discs (C/SiC) — Race-Only Variant |
Raw friction surface (no cosmetic topcoat) built for sustained track temperatures and repeated high-energy stops. Hive-style internal cooling architecture.
Why it matters?
Prioritizes repeatability and heat tolerance over cosmetics and street comfort.
|
|
| StopFlex CNC-machined Aluminum Hats |
Precision hats matched to your application.
Why it matters?
Correct alignment and clearance with your hub/wheel package, with consistent pad sweep and reliable hardware fitment.
|
|
| StopFlex CCB-optimized Pad Set (Match Your Calipers) |
Pad compound selected for carbon-ceramic discs and matched to your caliper shape.
Why it matters?
Pad chemistry matters more on CCB. Correct pairing helps stabilize the friction layer and avoids “wrong pad on CCB” issues (noise spikes, inconsistent bite, accelerated surface wear).

Carbon-Ceramic vs. Cast-Iron / Steel Discs (Race Context)
StopFlex Carbon-Ceramic (C/SiC) — Race-Only
Typical disc weight (same size class)
About ~50% lighter than steel/iron discs of similar size.
Service life (how race teams should think about it)
Measured in track hours / events, not road mileage. Plan routine inspections (surface condition + thickness) and replace when worn or damaged.
Corrosion & appearance
No “flash rust” like iron. Race surfaces will show heat marks and normal track patina.
Brake dust
Depends heavily on pad choice. Race-oriented compounds can be dusty; choose pads for stability first, cleanliness second.
High-temperature stability (material + failure modes)
Built for repeated high-energy stops with a structure that remains stable at elevated temperatures. Primary wrong-use risks: impact damage (chips from debris/curbs) and pad mismatch (unstable friction layer / accelerated wear).
Cooling needs (non-negotiable for long sessions)
Plan brake ducts/venting. Track sessions are usually limited by pads + fluid if airflow is poor—regardless of rotor material.
