Construction & Design:

The XP650 pads feature a semi-metallic friction compound reinforced with carbon fibre, providing a robust and heat-resistant braking surface. This composition ensures excellent wear characteristics and consistent friction performance across a broad temperature spectrum. The pads are precision-engineered to fit the rear calipers of the specified vehicles perfectly, ensuring reliable contact and even pad wear.

DBA’s commitment to quality is evident in the meticulous design and manufacturing processes, which focus on delivering a product that withstands the rigors of performance driving without sacrificing everyday usability or comfort.
