Top braking performance in all situations – the ATE PowerPad

Genuine motor sports feeling calls for outstanding braking power in all driving situations. As of immediately, Continental Teves, one of the leading suppliers of car brake technology, offers the PowerPad for retrofitting under the ATE brand.

The high-performance brake pads were developed for drivers with sporting ambitions. They guarantee highest braking power, but not only that: by effectively reducing noise they capture the demands of motor racing and the street in one package. The ATE PowerPad with the red backplate ideally completes the ATE PowerDisc, the world’s only brake disc with a multifunctional "infinite loop" groove.

Drivers focused on fine tuning and performance must be able to rely on the power of the brake system even in extreme situations. Continental Automotive Systems has developed a convincing solution for engines tuned for ultimate performance, a solution which meets the highest standards.

The ATE PowerPads offer:

• Constant friction properties and fading resistance to over 550 °C – satisfies even racing requirements
• High thermal stability (coefficient of friction)
• No fading
• Long life
• Enhanced mechanical bond between fricative material and backplate owing to Nucap Retention System (NRS): no separation even under very high loads and at high temperatures.
• Good comfort characteristics in terms of noise and vibrations
• No scoring of brake disc
• With so-called anti-noise shims for low braking noise in accordance with OE standards.
• Warning contacts indicate the wear limits (if envisaged by the OEM).
• ECE-R90 approval
• Sporty look owing to red paint

ATE PowerPad for sporty drivers – the ideal complement to the ATE PowerDisc

The ATE PowerPad with its outstanding braking power is the ideal counterpart to the ATE PowerDisc. If you seek optimum interplay between brake pad and brake disc, your best bet is to complete the high-performance brake pads with the ATE PowerDisc, which is used with best results in racing. The ATE PowerDisc features the unique multifunctional "infinite loop" groove. It reduces the brakes' sensitivity to moisture and reliably diverts the gases that lead to the dreaded fading caused by high braking temperatures. This enhances safety under the severest conditions. Other advantages are longevity and detection of wear without measuring tools: if the groove is no longer visible, the disc must be replaced.
