Racing Brake XT970 Compound

The RB Motorsports Compounds were developed to handle the toughest track braking conditions. They deliver consistent brake torque, are excellent in modulation and highly resistant to wear, friendly to rotors and brake dust is easy to clean.

XT970: Medium initial bite, high friction and brake torque.

These pads are formulated for track/high temperature use, but they can also be used very effectively on the road with EVs which have regenerative braking, as squeal and brake dust isn't usually an issue. 

The standard Tesla OE rear outboard pads have spring clips attached to them which locate in the caliper to stop the rattling as they wear.  There are no clips on the rear RB pads so special double sided adhesive tape is provided which sticks the outboard pad to the caliper to prevent rattling.

You may find our EPB retractor cable useful when changing rear pads on the Model 3 Performance.

Bedding-In
All brake pads are recommended to be bedded-in properly according to the proper break-in procedure to assure optimal performance.

Brake Pad Performance
The overall brake pad performance can be affected by the rotor material and its surface finish, calipers, and brake bias.

These pads may be noisy at low speeds if you use creep mode. We advise using hold mode and in our tests squeal is almost completely eliminated in that mode. The RB range are not ECE R90 approved.

Please note: The actual pad size/shape and packaging may be different to the photos shown here.
