Sprint racing and hill climb events leave no room for a pad that needs three corners to wake up. EBC Racing's RP-X compound delivers a friction coefficient of 0.55 from ambient temperature through 750°C (1400°F), giving the 2012-2017 Fiesta ST MK7 full stopping power from the very first application.
100% brake effect from cold. Where many track compounds require heat cycles before reaching peak friction, RP-X reaches its rated 0.55 friction level immediately. On a sprint stage or standing-start circuit lap where the brakes may never fully saturate with heat, that cold-bite characteristic is a direct performance advantage.
A distinct response profile, not just a higher grade. RP-X sits alongside EBC Racing's RP-1 compound rather than above it. The two materials target different driver preferences: RP-1 offers a progressive, linear feel, while RP-X delivers a more aggressive initial bite. Drivers who want immediate, high-force deceleration on first pedal contact will find RP-X the better fit; those who prefer a modulated, buildable feel should evaluate RP-1 for their application.
Broad thermal ceiling for sustained circuit use. The 0.55 friction rating holds consistent across the full 0-750°C operating window, making RP-X equally capable in endurance laps where the brakes accumulate serious heat over multiple sessions.
Product Benefits
