Multiple Wins & Lap Records on GPFAX pads
"Well what can I say. Amazing weekend at Castle Combe with NG Road Racing for the Grand National. We went to defend our title as King of Combe and we did. Amazing racing by everyone. The competition was unreal and soooo fast. Managed to come away with 3 poles 7 wins in total and 2 x 2nd places included the King of Combe title. Knocked 0.7 of my outright lap record. And 0.5 of my 600 lap record... So happy it’s unreal."

Josh Day, Dayo Racing

"Loved them... really suited Josh's style cos he carries a lot of corner speed and does a lot of trail braking and some of the other pads we've used in the past have been a bit harsh. The GPFAX worked on both bikes, on the 1000 when heavy braking to get it stopped and then back on the gas again... they work! ...Well impressed. They work really well... spot on!"

Alistair Day, Dayo Racing

"I helped EBC develop the GPFAX pad, which was interesting, and ended up a very, very good pad. You need to give honest feedback and run consistent, fast laps when developing a new product."

Mike 'Spike' Edwards - Multiple British & European Champion

"After (…with, I admit, some scepticism…) first testing GPFAX pads against Brembo's best compound at Cadwell Park on my Fireblade, I’ve become a total convert. Having raced with them since, in around 200 starts over 4 seasons at all the UK’s main circuits, I've achieved countless class/outright wins and a championship victory using them. Quite simply, they work completely dependably - from stone-cold or in the wet, to fully hot - with a consistent and totally fade-free feel. If there's a better pad than these I’ve yet to find them!"

Giles Harwood, HPS MD

"I’ve been using them in my race bike for a few years - they’re amazing - and I’m saying that as a former Brembo Z04 user... In fact, they’re easier to use than the Brembos, which I always found were hard to modulate. The EBCs have just as much power but give more feel, in my opinion. I’m a GPFAX convert!"

Big names are switching to GPFAX
Since its launch, leading teams and racers, such as BMW Motorrad, have instantly gained impressive results by switching to the revolutionary GPFAX compound (especially when installed in their bikes' original/OE calipers - as opposed to upgraded race calipers - which is sometimes mandatory in certain race classes, including Superstock and Supersport).

Lee Jackson - Buildbase BMW

GPFAX Nürburgring Nordschleife Lap Record
"These things are brilliant. ...the level of feedback is what I consider to be optimum, simply vary the lever pressure until the front tyre and fork springs push into the ground the required amount. So that's 10/10 for feel. Retardation is so good, I have been able to go back to the Wavy discs which, with less surface area, still stop just great... and the Wavys are a good chunk lighter.

Their performance when cold and when warming up is [naturally] less than when up to temperature, but the brakes remain safe and consistent system with nothing untoward that could catch out the unwary and no special care seems needed, which is absolutely not the case with [some] other pads.

EBC GPFAX is the choice..."

First female in the UAE Sportbike Championship gains GPFAX confidence

"I used to lack confidence in braking late, however, these GPFAX race only brake pads have a great bite to them. I improved my lap times by six seconds in my first race, big confidence boost from having grippy brakes, was able to push my braking markers further as the day progressed which helped drop lap times."

Sabah Mukri, Yamaha YZF-R6

Oulton Park Racer ditches old carbon pads for GPFAX

"I used them for the first time at Oulton Park last weekend, and I am very impressed. I was using carbon pads before but had had enough of always [having to be] making sure they were hot [these pads work from absolutely stone cold - HPS].
 
...the new EBC GPFAX pads have a great feel, great first bite - hot/or cold. That's what I really want from a pad, from cold out of the paddock into 1st corner [knowing] they work amazingly straight away and stay consistent all through the race to the end no fade etc.
 
I'll be staying with these pads for the future!"

"The one thing I struggled with [on the RC8] was the brakes - they just didn’t have the feedback and feel I was expecting…

I replaced the pads with EBC’s GPFAX race pads for a back-to-back test. After following the break-in procedure, the GPFAX were a great improvement - loads of power, with a more organic feel and plenty of bite. They were the pads I was looking for all along.."
