EBC's Ultimax2 compound pairs a high-friction, ECE R90-approved friction material with a formulation that measurably reduces rotor wear, making each pad change less expensive than the last.
Rotor wear cut by up to 50 percent. Compared to semi-metallic compounds, the Ultimax2 material is significantly less abrasive on iron rotors. It is common for a single rotor to outlast two full sets of Ultimax2 pads, which translates to real savings over the life of the vehicle without sacrificing stopping power.
Factory-equivalent friction, ECE R90 certified. Black-coded in the EBC range, these pads carry full ECE R90 approval, confirming they meet or exceed the friction characteristics of the original equipment pads fitted to your 2010-2011 Focus 1.6 at the factory. A nominal friction coefficient of 0.46 delivers progressive, confident braking feel from a cold start through normal highway temperatures.
Shimmed, chamfered, slotted, and Brake-In coated. Every pad in the USA Ultimax range ships with shims already installed, reducing noise and vibration. Chamfers and slots control heat distribution across the pad face, while EBC's proprietary Brake-In coating eliminates the extended bedding process required by uncoated pads, getting the friction surface effective faster. Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the backing plate bond pad material to steel mechanically, removing any risk of delamination over time.
Eliminates and compensates for brake judder. Beyond matching OE stopping distances, the Ultimax2 compound actively smooths out mild brake judder that builds up after 300 to 400 miles of use, something most OE replacement pads cannot claim.
Product Benefits
- ECE R90 Approved: Certified equivalent to factory pads for public highway use in all markets.
- Up to 50% Less Rotor Wear: Less abrasive than semi-metallic compounds, extending rotor service life.
- Brake-In Coating: Accelerates pad bed-in so full friction is available sooner after installation.
- Full Shim Package Included: All USA-market Ultimax pads ship shimmed for quieter operation.
- Nucap NRS Hooks: Mechanical interlocks on the backing plate eliminate the risk of pad debond.
- Judder Compensation: Friction material smooths mild rotor surface variation after break-in.
- Quietest EBC Formulation: Engineered for silent daily driving without sacrificing cold-bite performance.
- Direct Front Fitment: Designed specifically for the 2010-2011 Ford Focus 1.6, no modification required.
- Not for Track Use: Optimized for public highway driving in hot and cold climates, not sustained high-heat conditions.
About EBC Brakes: EBC Brakes manufactures brake pads, rotors, and brake lines across a wide range of compounds and applications, from quiet OE-equivalent daily-driver formulations through dedicated motorsport materials.
