All six TEI pad compounds are available for this caliper — choose your compound above. Specifications per compound:

Compound Type Best for Working temperature Friction coefficient Service life
M1 – Street Ceramic Daily driving — comfort & low noise. Standard compound on Street-Tuned kits. 0–550°C (32–1022°F) μ 0.38–0.43 40,000–50,000 km
M2 – Street Sport Metallic Sporty street performance, heat-resistant. Standard compound on Racing-series kits. 50–700°C (122–1292°F) μ 0.42–0.47 30,000–40,000 km
R1 – Sprint Race Sprint race Track use — precise control at high temperature. 50–800°C (122–1472°F) μ 0.48–0.50 20,000–30,000 km
R2 – Endurance Race Endurance race Endurance racing — precise control at high temperature. 50–800°C (122–1472°F) μ 0.48–0.55
CS1 – Carbon-Ceramic Street Carbon-ceramic street Carbon-Ceramic discs only — street comfort & durability. 0–700°C (32–1292°F) μ 0.38–0.43

Floating vs. Fixed Calipers

See why a fixed multi-piston caliper delivers a more direct, linear pedal feel.

Floating caliperTypical OEM

A single piston acts on the inner pad. The caliper body then slides on its guide pins to bring the outer pad into contact.

Floating caliper animation The inner piston moves first, then the caliper body floats outward before the outer pad clamps. Rotor Hydraulic pressure PistonOuter pad Inner pad Caliper body floats 1. Piston pushes inner pad2. Body floats outward3. Outer pad clamps

Two sequential steps create dead travel and a slight delay in pedal feel.

Fixed multi-piston caliperTEI design

Pistons on both sides move directly and at the same time, clamping the rotor in one controlled step.

Fixed caliper animation Opposing pistons and pads move together to clamp the rotor simultaneously. Rotor PressurePressure Inner padOuter padFixed caliper body 1. Pressure builds2. Pistons move together3. One-step clamp

Clamping force F = P × S: hydraulic pressure multiplied by total piston area. The response is direct and linear.
