Improved track/race motorcycle brake pad formula promises even more performance

91��ý Racing is pleased to unveil its new flagship motorcycle track/race brake pad – the GPFAX D2.

Developing a truly confidence-inspiring race brake pad isn’t about chasing peak numbers – it’s about delivering consistency, control, and predictability at the limit. With the new GPFAX D2, that’s exactly what the team set out to achieve.

This latest compound represents a significant step forward from the highly acclaimed GPFAX pad. Where earlier materials pushed close to EBC’s performance targets, GPFAX D2 delivers the complete package: improved durability, enhanced feel, and exceptionally consistent torque output across all operating conditions.

Built for Precision and Control

One of the defining characteristics of GPFAX D2 is its torque linearity. From initial application through to maximum braking force, the response is smooth and predictable:

Low initial torque rise for improved modulation
Linear torque increase with pressure input
Stable performance regardless of speed or temperature

In simple terms: what you put in is exactly what you get out. More pressure results in a directly proportional increase in braking force, giving riders the confidence to push deeper into the braking zone.

Progressive Feel, Lap After Lap

Rather than delivering an aggressive, spiky initial bite, GPFAX D2 has been engineered to provide a progressive increase in braking force throughout the stop. The result is a controlled, intuitive feel that allows for precise adjustments mid-corner and under heavy load.

Improved Wear Characteristics

Durability is just as critical as outright performance. In back-to-back testing, GPFAX D2 demonstrated significantly reduced wear rates compared to the previous generation – extending pad life without compromising braking performance.

Proven Through Data

Extensive dyno testing highlights the compound’s consistency, with clean, repeatable torque traces that remain stable across varying pressures and temperatures. The data reinforces what riders feel on track: predictable, confidence-building braking performance in every scenario.

Applications Currently Available

GPFAX447HH-D2 for M4 | M430 | M50 | GP4-RX | GP4-RS | Stylema calipers

EBC-Supported Army Road Race Team Prep for BSB Season at Donington Park

91��ý sponsors the British Army Motorcycle Road Race Team (AMRRT)

The British Army Motorcycle Road Race Team (AMRRT) is an exclusive racing club for all Army, RAF and Navy personnel.

Formed in 2010, the AMRRT is one of the largest teams in the British Army Motorsports Association. It encompasses two road tacing disciplines – sprints and endurance – with 21 full-time and reserve riders, plus support crew for 2026.

As well as its own dedicated championship – the Inter Services Road Race Championship – AMRRT also supports entrants to other national series, not least the BSB, where three riders will be competing throughout the year.

WO2 Watts will return to the highly contested National Superstock 1000 category, whilst Sgt Thomas and LCpl Large-Taylor will compete in the ultra-competitive SuperSport 600 Cup onboard a Triumph 765 and Yamaha R9 respectively.

All three will be using 91��ý Racing’s GPFAX pads and X/XC discs to help them achieve the best results across the season.

We caught up with the team off the back of the official BSB testing day at Derbyshire’s Donington Park. You can hear how it went in their own words below…

“WO1 Gav Watts and SSgt Stephen Thomas continued their preparations for the upcoming British Superbike (BSB) season by attending the Official BSB Test at Donington Park on 3–4 April. Cold temperatures and strong winds made for challenging running throughout the two days.”

“Watts, who will be competing in his second season in the National Superstock 1000 class aboard his Honda Fireblade, used the test to focus on development rather than outright lap time. Reflecting on the event, he said: “The conditions have been extremely challenging due to the cold temperatures and very high winds. We didn’t concentrate on an outright fast lap, instead focusing on understanding the new data software and experimenting with different electronic and geometry setups. Overall, I’m pleased with the two days and now look forward to the second test at Oulton Park in a few weeks’ time.”

“Thomas, who will contest the ultra‑competitive Supersport Cup in 2026 on his Triumph 765RS, echoed the importance of the test. After 5–6 months off the bike, the focus was on rebuilding confidence and ensuring the package was working correctly. He commented: “This test was important to get reacquainted with the team and the bike. Lap times were down across all classes due to the wind and low temperatures, but it was good to get some solid laps in alongside the riders I’ll be racing against this year.”
