PFC 11 Compound

A new generation sprint and medium-distance friction compound, PFC 11 gives you the ultimate in control and modulation, along with superior disc conditioning. Developed from PFC's ultra-popular 01 compound with improved bite, modulation, and release characteristics. PFC 11 is ultra-smooth, developed to reduce wheel locking at the end of braking while giving more hot and cold bite than the endurance-oriented 08 compound. Brake with ultimate control, modulation, and confidence.

PFC 08 Compound

One of PFC's most popular compounds which came to fame in Endurance sports car and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. PFC 08 has a slight friction rise with temperature, with excellent release and modulation characteristics. Despite its considerable performance, PFC 08 has the lowest wear rate of all PFC compounds, easily matching the wear characteristics of competitors' materials but with much higher bite and consistent performance across a broad temperature range.
