Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad Inserts for Carbon Rims One Pair- Sram-Shimano

Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is the result of our endless drive to improve and optimize everything we make. Our 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. Now, when we think of brake pads, we're forced to examine their explicit function - braking. And, as we all know, the functionality of braking is measured by braking power - something that has long plagued carbon braking surfaces, both tubular and clincher. Challenging this preconception, Zipp increased the surface area of Tangente pads, accordingly increasing their braking power by around 10%. Tangente pads also feature a 1mm reduction in their width from the holder. This increases clearance for larger tires, wider rims, and the ever-growing integrated brake systems. Additionally, while the width is decreased, the pads' radial height is increased. This plays into the larger surface area, accordingly increasing the pad life. This new dimensional design spreads out heat over a larger area of the braking surface and rim to increase the braking effectiveness and durability of the pads. You'll also find that these Tangente pads feature a new groove design to improve rim temperatures and braking power in wet conditions. So, you can expect a drier and cooler braking surface in nearly any conceivable condition. The Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is designed for use on carbon rims and has not been approved for use on aluminum braking surfaces. It comes in two models, one for SRAM, Shimano brake-pad holders and another for Campagnolo holders.
