The new Zipp Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is the result of Zipp's endless drive to improve and optimize everything they make. The redesigned pad - created especially for braking on carbon surfaces - delivers smooth speed control and reliable stopping power in all conditions, wet or dry. It also is designed for a longer wear life. Just like a champion cyclist, this pad is a versatile performer.
. A 10% increase in surface area than the previous pad model for greater max braking power
. A 1mm thinner design provides improved clearance with integrated brakes
. Despite a reduced thickness, its increased radial height increases pad life
. Increased radial height also spreads heat over larger "swept area" of the rim for lower peak temperatures
. New groove design sweeps water off rim for improved wet-weather braking performance and also channels air over rim to improve cooling
. Uniquely formulated compound manages the extreme temperatures that can result from heavy braking on carbon
. For carbon rims specifically, comes with 1 pair
