Tribol Braking builds the Coldforge S01 in the UK — a carbon-fibre pad for track and motorsport braking — sized to fit the brake calipers on Aston Martin DB11. It pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, aimed at cutting heat transfer into the caliper; Tribol reports this can bring caliper temperatures down by as much as 70°C in hard race use. The same backplate is said to shave up to 70% off the weight of a conventional steel-backed pad, helping braking stay consistent through repeated hard stops and easing thermal load on the system. Each pad arrives pre-scorched with stainless steel shims fitted, ready to run straight from the box, and is intended solely for track and motorsport use.

Key Benefits

• Tribol Braking describes it as the first fully composite brake pad the company has built.

Tribol Braking spent five years developing this pad with input from academics, other pad makers, professional drivers, and OEM engineers, and the company describes the result as the first fully composite brake pad on the market. At launch, the CF-3 range spans three pad shapes covering the shapes most widely used in motorsport.

Tribol's own track testing pushes discs past 600°C through repeated hard stops, checking how the pads hold up under real pressure. Across the CF-3 range, Tribol reports strong bite from cold, steady friction, and no pad lift or fade. The aim is confidence a driver can rely on when a race is decided by tenths of a second.

• Backplates made from a carbon fibre composite.

The backplate sits at the heart of the CF-3 S01. Tribol builds it from a carbon composite around resin systems drawn from ablative heat shields used on spacecraft during re-entry, so it can act as a thermal buffer between disc and caliper, cutting how much heat reaches the hydraulic system during hard, repeated braking.

• Helps keep caliper temperatures down under hard braking.

Tribol reports that its Coldforge backplate material has lowered caliper temperatures by as much as 70°C in testing, a result it says holds up at the top levels of motorsport. Keeping heat away from the caliper lowers the chance of fluid boiling, a spongy pedal, or braking that varies as things heat up.

• Tribol states the pad can weigh up to 70% less than a steel-backed equivalent.

Tribol states the CF-3 range weighs around 70% less than a typical steel-backed pad, cutting unsprung mass right at the wheel. Trimming weight in this spot is said to sharpen brake response and reduce its knock-on effect on how the car handles.

• A slotted, semi-metallic compound built for racing.

The CF-3 pads use a slotted, semi-metallic compound aimed at track and motorsport use. It is meant to give firm initial bite, steady friction, and predictable control through repeated hard stops, so drivers and teams get dependable stopping power under pressure.

• Supplied pre-scorched and ready to fit.

Tribol Braking supplies every set of pads pre-scorched and ready to use. On most track days, a lap or two at moderate pace is enough to bed the pad fully against the disc before normal running. Ahead of racing or extreme conditions, Tribol recommends its own bedding-in steps before loading the pads hard.

Important Notes

• Track use only: Coldforge pads are built for closed-circuit motorsport and are not road-legal. On the road, or when cold, they can be noisy, throw off more dust, and wear discs faster.

• Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician, following the vehicle maker's fitting steps, torque figures, and safety guidance for brake pads and related parts.

• These pads may need bedding in before hard use, to build the correct friction layer and reach full braking performance. Skipping the recommended steps can leave uneven pad deposits, vibration, reduced performance, or early wear; follow Tribol's bedding-in guidance.

• Built for hot motorsport conditions, these pads can feel less effective when cold. Warm the braking system up gradually before pushing hard into a braking zone.

• Motorsport carries inherent risk. Tribol accepts no liability for harm, injury, or braking problems that follow incorrect fitting, misuse, or ignoring the bedding-in and operating advice.

Made in the UK by Tribol Braking, the Coldforge S02 is a carbon-fibre track pad built to suit the brake calipers fitted to Aston Martin DB7 1997-1999. A slotted, semi-metallic race compound is combined with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, built to reduce heat reaching the caliper; according to Tribol, caliper temperatures can drop by up to 70°C in demanding race conditions as a result. Tribol also credits the backplate with a weight saving of up to 70% against a steel-backed pad, which it says supports steady braking under repeated hard use and lowers thermal stress across the system. The pad is supplied pre-scorched, fitted with stainless steel shims, and ready to use out of the box — for track and motorsport applications only.

Tribol's own track testing pushes discs past 600°C through repeated hard stops, checking how the pads hold up under real pressure. Across the CF-3 range, Tribol reports strong bite from cold, steady friction, and no pad lift or fade. The aim is confidence a driver can rely on when a race is decided by tenths of a second.

• Backplates made from a carbon fibre composite.

The backplate sits at the heart of the CF-3 S01. Tribol builds it from a carbon composite around resin systems drawn from ablative heat shields used on spacecraft during re-entry, so it can act as a thermal buffer between disc and caliper, cutting how much heat reaches the hydraulic system during hard, repeated braking.

• Helps keep caliper temperatures down under hard braking.

Tribol reports that its Coldforge backplate material has lowered caliper temperatures by as much as 70°C in testing, a result it says holds up at the top levels of motorsport. Keeping heat away from the caliper lowers the chance of fluid boiling, a spongy pedal, or braking that varies as things heat up.

• Tribol states the pad can weigh up to 70% less than a steel-backed equivalent.

Tribol states the CF-3 range weighs around 70% less than a typical steel-backed pad, cutting unsprung mass right at the wheel. Trimming weight in this spot is said to sharpen brake response and reduce its knock-on effect on how the car handles.

• A slotted, semi-metallic compound built for racing.

The CF-3 pads use a slotted, semi-metallic compound aimed at track and motorsport use. It is meant to give firm initial bite, steady friction, and predictable control through repeated hard stops, so drivers and teams get dependable stopping power under pressure.

• Supplied pre-scorched and ready to fit.

Tribol Braking supplies every set of pads pre-scorched and ready to use. On most track days, a lap or two at moderate pace is enough to bed the pad fully against the disc before normal running. Ahead of racing or extreme conditions, Tribol recommends its own bedding-in steps before loading the pads hard.

The Coldforge S01, engineered in the UK by Tribol Braking, is a carbon-fibre pad shaped to fit the brake calipers on Chevrolet Camaro SS Gen 6 2016 onward. Tribol pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with its patented forged-carbon composite backplate, designed to limit heat passing into the caliper; Tribol's own figures put the resulting drop in caliper temperature at up to 70°C under hard race conditions. The backplate is also said to cut pad weight by up to 70% against a standard steel-backed part, aiding consistent braking through repeated hard stops while easing thermal stress on the system. Supplied pre-scorched with stainless steel shims already fitted, the pad is ready to run out of the box and is built for track and motorsport use only.

Tribol Braking builds the Coldforge S01 in the UK — a carbon-fibre pad for track and motorsport braking — sized to fit the brake calipers on Chevrolet Corvette C6 2009-2013. It pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, aimed at cutting heat transfer into the caliper; Tribol reports this can bring caliper temperatures down by as much as 70°C in hard race use. The same backplate is said to shave up to 70% off the weight of a conventional steel-backed pad, helping braking stay consistent through repeated hard stops and easing thermal load on the system. Each pad arrives pre-scorched with stainless steel shims fitted, ready to run straight from the box, and is intended solely for track and motorsport use.

Made in the UK by Tribol Braking, the Coldforge S01 is a carbon-fibre track pad built to suit the brake calipers fitted to Honda Civic Type R 2015 onward. A slotted, semi-metallic race compound is combined with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, built to reduce heat reaching the caliper; according to Tribol, caliper temperatures can drop by up to 70°C in demanding race conditions as a result. Tribol also credits the backplate with a weight saving of up to 70% against a steel-backed pad, which it says supports steady braking under repeated hard use and lowers thermal stress across the system. The pad is supplied pre-scorched, fitted with stainless steel shims, and ready to use out of the box — for track and motorsport applications only.

Tribol Braking builds the Coldforge S02 in the UK — a carbon-fibre pad for track and motorsport braking — sized to fit the brake calipers on Marcos LM 1994-1995. It pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, aimed at cutting heat transfer into the caliper; Tribol reports this can bring caliper temperatures down by as much as 70°C in hard race use. The same backplate is said to shave up to 70% off the weight of a conventional steel-backed pad, helping braking stay consistent through repeated hard stops and easing thermal load on the system. Each pad arrives pre-scorched with stainless steel shims fitted, ready to run straight from the box, and is intended solely for track and motorsport use.

Key Benefits

• Tribol Braking describes it as the first fully composite brake pad the company has built.

Tribol Braking spent five years developing this pad with input from academics, other pad makers, professional drivers, and OEM engineers, and the company describes the result as the first fully composite brake pad on the market. At launch, the CF-3 range spans three pad shapes covering the shapes most widely used in motorsport.

Tribol's own track testing pushes discs past 600°C through repeated hard stops, checking how the pads hold up under real pressure. Across the CF-3 range, Tribol reports strong bite from cold, steady friction, and no pad lift or fade. The aim is confidence a driver can rely on when a race is decided by tenths of a second.

• Backplates made from a carbon fibre composite.

The backplate sits at the heart of the CF-3 S02. Tribol builds it from a carbon composite around resin systems drawn from ablative heat shields used on spacecraft during re-entry, so it can act as a thermal buffer between disc and caliper, cutting how much heat reaches the hydraulic system during hard, repeated braking.

• Helps keep caliper temperatures down under hard braking.

Tribol reports that its Coldforge backplate material has lowered caliper temperatures by as much as 70°C in testing, a result it says holds up at the top levels of motorsport. Keeping heat away from the caliper lowers the chance of fluid boiling, a spongy pedal, or braking that varies as things heat up.

Made in the UK by Tribol Braking, the Coldforge S02 is a carbon-fibre track pad built to suit the brake calipers fitted to Marcos Mantara 1993-2002. A slotted, semi-metallic race compound is combined with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, built to reduce heat reaching the caliper; according to Tribol, caliper temperatures can drop by up to 70°C in demanding race conditions as a result. Tribol also credits the backplate with a weight saving of up to 70% against a steel-backed pad, which it says supports steady braking under repeated hard use and lowers thermal stress across the system. The pad is supplied pre-scorched, fitted with stainless steel shims, and ready to use out of the box — for track and motorsport applications only.

The Coldforge S01, engineered in the UK by Tribol Braking, is a carbon-fibre pad shaped to fit the brake calipers on Maserati Ghibli 2013 onward. Tribol pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with its patented forged-carbon composite backplate, designed to limit heat passing into the caliper; Tribol's own figures put the resulting drop in caliper temperature at up to 70°C under hard race conditions. The backplate is also said to cut pad weight by up to 70% against a standard steel-backed part, aiding consistent braking through repeated hard stops while easing thermal stress on the system. Supplied pre-scorched with stainless steel shims already fitted, the pad is ready to run out of the box and is built for track and motorsport use only.

• Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician, following the vehicle maker's fitting steps, torque figures, and safety guidance for brake pads and related parts.

• These pads may need bedding in before hard use, to build the correct friction layer and reach full braking performance. Skipping the recommended steps can leave uneven pad deposits, vibration, reduced performance, or early wear; follow Tribol's bedding-in guidance.

• Built for hot motorsport conditions, these pads can feel less effective when cold. Warm the braking system up gradually before pushing hard into a braking zone.

• Motorsport carries inherent risk. Tribol accepts no liability for harm, injury, or braking problems that follow incorrect fitting, misuse, or ignoring the bedding-in and operating advice.

Made in the UK by Tribol Braking, the Coldforge S01 is a carbon-fibre track pad built to suit the brake calipers fitted to Subaru Impreza STI 2003-2016. A slotted, semi-metallic race compound is combined with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, built to reduce heat reaching the caliper; according to Tribol, caliper temperatures can drop by up to 70°C in demanding race conditions as a result. Tribol also credits the backplate with a weight saving of up to 70% against a steel-backed pad, which it says supports steady braking under repeated hard use and lowers thermal stress across the system. The pad is supplied pre-scorched, fitted with stainless steel shims, and ready to use out of the box — for track and motorsport applications only.

Key Benefits

• Tribol Braking describes it as the first fully composite brake pad the company has built.

Tribol Braking spent five years developing this pad with input from academics, other pad makers, professional drivers, and OEM engineers, and the company describes the result as the first fully composite brake pad on the market. At launch, the CF-3 range spans three pad shapes covering the shapes most widely used in motorsport.

Tribol's own track testing pushes discs past 600°C through repeated hard stops, checking how the pads hold up under real pressure. Across the CF-3 range, Tribol reports strong bite from cold, steady friction, and no pad lift or fade. The aim is confidence a driver can rely on when a race is decided by tenths of a second.

• Backplates made from a carbon fibre composite.

The backplate sits at the heart of the CF-3 S01. Tribol builds it from a carbon composite around resin systems drawn from ablative heat shields used on spacecraft during re-entry, so it can act as a thermal buffer between disc and caliper, cutting how much heat reaches the hydraulic system during hard, repeated braking.

• Helps keep caliper temperatures down under hard braking.

Tribol reports that its Coldforge backplate material has lowered caliper temperatures by as much as 70°C in testing, a result it says holds up at the top levels of motorsport. Keeping heat away from the caliper lowers the chance of fluid boiling, a spongy pedal, or braking that varies as things heat up.

• Tribol states the pad can weigh up to 70% less than a steel-backed equivalent.

Tribol states the CF-3 range weighs around 70% less than a typical steel-backed pad, cutting unsprung mass right at the wheel. Trimming weight in this spot is said to sharpen brake response and reduce its knock-on effect on how the car handles.

• A slotted, semi-metallic compound built for racing.

The CF-3 pads use a slotted, semi-metallic compound aimed at track and motorsport use. It is meant to give firm initial bite, steady friction, and predictable control through repeated hard stops, so drivers and teams get dependable stopping power under pressure.

• Supplied pre-scorched and ready to fit.

Tribol Braking supplies every set of pads pre-scorched and ready to use. On most track days, a lap or two at moderate pace is enough to bed the pad fully against the disc before normal running. Ahead of racing or extreme conditions, Tribol recommends its own bedding-in steps before loading the pads hard.

The Coldforge S03, engineered in the UK by Tribol Braking, is a carbon-fibre pad shaped to fit the brake calipers on the Toyota Yaris GR (front). Tribol pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with its patented forged-carbon composite backplate, designed to limit heat passing into the caliper; Tribol's own figures put the resulting drop in caliper temperature at up to 70°C under hard race conditions. The backplate is also said to cut pad weight by up to 70% against a standard steel-backed part, aiding consistent braking through repeated hard stops while easing thermal stress on the system. Supplied pre-scorched with stainless steel shims already fitted, the pad is ready to run out of the box and is built for track and motorsport use only.

Tribol Braking spent five years developing this pad with input from academics, other pad makers, professional drivers, and OEM engineers, and the company describes the result as the first fully composite brake pad on the market. At launch, the CF-3 range spans three pad shapes covering the shapes most widely used in motorsport.

Tribol's own track testing pushes discs past 600°C through repeated hard stops, checking how the pads hold up under real pressure. Across the CF-3 range, Tribol reports strong bite from cold, steady friction, and no pad lift or fade. The aim is confidence a driver can rely on when a race is decided by tenths of a second.

• Backplates made from a carbon fibre composite.

The backplate sits at the heart of the CF-3 S02. Tribol builds it from a carbon composite around resin systems drawn from ablative heat shields used on spacecraft during re-entry, so it can act as a thermal buffer between disc and caliper, cutting how much heat reaches the hydraulic system during hard, repeated braking.

• Helps keep caliper temperatures down under hard braking.

Tribol reports that its Coldforge backplate material has lowered caliper temperatures by as much as 70°C in testing, a result it says holds up at the top levels of motorsport. Keeping heat away from the caliper lowers the chance of fluid boiling, a spongy pedal, or braking that varies as things heat up.

• Tribol states the pad can weigh up to 70% less than a steel-backed equivalent.

Tribol states the CF-3 range weighs around 70% less than a typical steel-backed pad, cutting unsprung mass right at the wheel. Trimming weight in this spot is said to sharpen brake response and reduce its knock-on effect on how the car handles.

• A slotted, semi-metallic compound built for racing.

The CF-3 pads use a slotted, semi-metallic compound aimed at track and motorsport use. It is meant to give firm initial bite, steady friction, and predictable control through repeated hard stops, so drivers and teams get dependable stopping power under pressure.

• Supplied pre-scorched and ready to fit.

Tribol Braking supplies every set of pads pre-scorched and ready to use. On most track days, a lap or two at moderate pace is enough to bed the pad fully against the disc before normal running. Ahead of racing or extreme conditions, Tribol recommends its own bedding-in steps before loading the pads hard.

In the Box

• The kit includes a set of Tribol Braking's Coldforge carbon-fibre pads.

• Fitting notes are included.

Important Notes

• Track use only: Coldforge pads are built for closed-circuit motorsport and are not road-legal. On the road, or when cold, they can be noisy, throw off more dust, and wear discs faster.

• Fitting must be carried out by a qualified technician, following the vehicle maker's fitting steps, torque figures, and safety guidance for brake pads and related parts.

• These pads may need bedding in before hard use, to build the correct friction layer and reach full braking performance. Skipping the recommended steps can leave uneven pad deposits, vibration, reduced performance, or early wear; follow Tribol's bedding-in guidance.

• Built for hot motorsport conditions, these pads can feel less effective when cold. Warm the braking system up gradually before pushing hard into a braking zone.

• Motorsport carries inherent risk. Tribol accepts no liability for harm, injury, or braking problems that follow incorrect fitting, misuse, or ignoring the bedding-in and operating advice.

The Coldforge S02, engineered in the UK by Tribol Braking, is a carbon-fibre pad shaped to fit the brake calipers on TVR Griffith 1993-2002. Tribol pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with its patented forged-carbon composite backplate, designed to limit heat passing into the caliper; Tribol's own figures put the resulting drop in caliper temperature at up to 70°C under hard race conditions. The backplate is also said to cut pad weight by up to 70% against a standard steel-backed part, aiding consistent braking through repeated hard stops while easing thermal stress on the system. Supplied pre-scorched with stainless steel shims already fitted, the pad is ready to run out of the box and is built for track and motorsport use only.

Tribol Braking builds the Coldforge S02 in the UK — a carbon-fibre pad for track and motorsport braking — sized to fit the brake calipers on TVR Tuscan 1999-2002. It pairs a slotted, semi-metallic race compound with Tribol's patented forged-carbon composite backplate, aimed at cutting heat transfer into the caliper; Tribol reports this can bring caliper temperatures down by as much as 70°C in hard race use. The same backplate is said to shave up to 70% off the weight of a conventional steel-backed pad, helping braking stay consistent through repeated hard stops and easing thermal load on the system. Each pad arrives pre-scorched with stainless steel shims fitted, ready to run straight from the box, and is intended solely for track and motorsport use.
