Serious hardware for an e-moto. We matched that spec with a friction surface large enough to blanket the rotor’s swept area, plus beveled leading edges that settle in smoothly during the first 5–10 bed-in pulls. The backing plate is laser-cut, heat-treated steel that laughs at pad knock-back and piston hotspots.

The metallic matrix wicks heat away from the braking surface, resists glazing, and embeds micro bits of copper into the rotor face for a microscopic “cheese-grater” effect. Instant bite even when wet. That’s why moto GP bikes, downhill MTB pros, and EV racers favor sintered compounds where temperatures soar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Talaria Sting MX5 (72V) front or rear brake caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotor Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 mm Ø × 3 mm thick (OEM) and aftermarket 250 mm kits with adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness New:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.6 mm (3.0 mm friction + 1.6 mm backing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 mm total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFluid Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e DOT 4 \/ DOT 5.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temp:\u003c\/strong\u003e –40 °F → 1,000 °F (copper-sintered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pads ( enough for 1 brake caliper )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShips from USA!\u003c\/h2\u003e","brand":"FactoryZ","offers":[{"title":"1 Set","offer_id":48140315623648,"sku":"TL-MX5-BP-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 Sets","offer_id":48140315656416,"sku":"TL-MX5-BP-2","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 Sets","offer_id":48140315689184,"sku":"TL-MX5-BP-5","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/6428\/5152\/files\/talaria-mx5-brake-pads-sintered-3-sets.webp?v=1763450798","url":"https:\/\/www.pmprintlab.com\/zh\/products\/talaria-mx5-pro-brake-pads","provider":"P.M.
