Yellow King Compound

High Performance on carbon braking surfaces

The Swisstop Yellow King Compound

The Yellow King compound provides the ultimate stopping power (wet and dry) and allows the rider to precisely modulate braking on carbon wheels. It is Available for Shimano and Campagnolo 10 speed systems.
Many riders know the Òall or nothingÓ feeling of cork-based brake pads. The Yellow King unlike many other carbon brake pads, are not made of _a cork mixture, but rather a high performance rubber compound that has been proven to operate quietly, without squealing, excessive wear, slip or grab in all conditions.
The fantastic performance of the Yellow King compound on aluminium rims also enables you to change wheels between carbon and aluminium, for the first time, without changing the brake pads and still maintain high performance braking.
While the Yellow King pads do not achieve the same performance on aluminium as the carbon surfaces they were designed for, they far exceed their cork-based counterparts, and are clearly superior to cork based compounds in the ability to modulate braking power.
The performance of this unique compound far exceeds that of conventional carbon specific brake pads, with operating temperatures as low as - 20C to in excess of 300C! (Short duration)

Compound Type: Yellow King
Characteristics: Excellent braking power / Quiet operation on carbon in all conditions
Rim Material: Primarily carbon fiber / Can also be used on aluminium rims
Ideal Use: Wheels with carbon fibre braking surfaces
Application: Road racing
Notes: These pads do not leave coloured traces on rims
