Zipp Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad

Share This Product

In response to the intense heat and residue buildup caused by braking on carbon, Zipp developed the Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad. CNC machined from a unique composite material, the Tangente pad combines the stopping performance and durability of a synthetic polymer with the heat resistance and smooth feel of cork.

• Reduces risk of rolled tubular tires and carbon clincher rim damage
• Leaves no melted pad residue that can cause brake pulsation
• Reduces pulsation from rims with previous residue buildup
• Composite material offers greater stopping power than traditional cork.
• Less "grabby" than rubber for improved braking modulation.
• Composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber but Tangente pad is .5mm thicker than most carbon-specific rubber pads.

Like Zipp wheels, the Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad is made in the USA. Pads are sold in packs of 4. The Tangente pad may be used on any tubular or clincher rim with a carbon braking surface, but it should never be used on aluminum braking surfaces.
