Pagid RS5

RS5 is popular for lightweight racing cars due to the stable friction properties. It is a ceramic based friction material with a medium level of friction and smooth, strong initial bite giving instant response. The initial design criteria was for a material specific for F3 but feedback shows that this compound is a great all rounder. RS5 has been the preferred choice for many of the F3 teams since 2005.

RS5 offers the most consistent level of friction of all PAGID compounds, making it much easier to brake very hard and still have complete control over the braking event. This allows the ability to brake very late into the corner with confidence.

This compound displays exceptional control, displaying the flattest torque curve of all of the PAGID compounds, a higher average friction level than RS4-2, an increased operating temperature of 650°C and increased pad life at higher temperatures.
