The S3 series is optimized for standard street motorcycles and cruisers with somewhat more powerful engines.
It is recommended for riders who ride more aggressively and require strong braking performance.
The S3 compound provides low abrasive interaction with the brake disc and much smoother braking thanks to its ceramic friction material composition. It withstands higher temperatures than the AD compound.
The friction materials contain metal-ceramic components with bronze-graphite particles. It is designed for both dry and wet environments. Coarser non-metallic friction additives are evenly distributed within a bronze base to achieve optimal friction characteristics.
About GOLDfren Friction Materials
- The AD, S3, S33, and GP compounds are homologated by the German testing institute TÜV Rheinland.
- All our brake pads are manufactured from sintered metal-ceramic friction materials.
- Sintering is a modern technology that provides maximum braking performance while ensuring minimal wear.
- Sintered linings provide greater braking power and longer service life compared to other types of brake linings such as organic, organic carbon, and semi-metallic organic compounds.
- With sintered linings, braking performance does not fade at high temperatures or in wet conditions.
- Sintered linings deliver exceptional braking performance under the most demanding conditions.
- GOLDfren is a pioneer in sintering methods using advanced and progressive powder metallurgy.
- Designed for both wet and dry environments.
- None of the materials contain lead or asbestos.
- The following compounds are available: AD, S3, K5, K5-LX, S33, GP5, GP6, and GP7.
- The recommended application for each compound is based on our material chart (see below) or on rider preference and intended riding style.
