Zipp redesigned their Tangente brake pads featuring a slimmer design that increases pad life and radiates heat over a larger area of the rim for lower peak temperatures. A new groove design has two functions. First, the design offers improved cooling by channeling air over the rim and improved wet weather performance by functioning as a drain to bring water away from your rims and braking surface.

Specifications

• A 10 percent increase in surface area than the previous pad model for greater max braking power.
• A 1 mm 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.
