Bendix Ultimate

Bendix Ultimate is a high performance brake pad that offers the highest level of braking performance in terms of reduced stopping distances, excellent pedal feel and resistance to high temperature fade. Developed originally for use as Original Equipment (O.E.) on high performance vehicles, Ultimate is ideal for driving at freeway speeds and hard braking. Pre-conditioned during manufacture so there is no bedding-in required, Ultimate is recommended for sports, performance and prestige vehicles. At freeway speeds and beyond, Ultimate is unmatched for sheer stopping power. Ultimate should be fitted front and rear to maintain balanced driving between all four wheels.

  • Friction Classification: FF [550 deg C]  
  • Composition: Asbestos free low metal, ideal for high performance vehicles. Has excellent high temperature wear and fade resistance, exceptional cold performance
  • Recommended for Freeway, Competition and High Speed Driving

Bendix Advance

Bendix engineers have recently developed Bendix Advance which offers optimised performance by combining the best of both categories of friction materials. Bendix Advance not only offers good friction levels resulting in a positive pedal feel but also a low wearing material which maximises the life of brake pads and disc rotors whilst at the same time providing a low dust output for improved wheel cleanliness. All this is achieved while brake pads remain very quiet in their operation.

Bendix Advance is a general purpose non asbestos brake pad that is ranged in over 500 references. Each Advance Pad has been tailor made dependent on vehicle application. This ensures correct fit, wear and braking characteristics for every vehicle and with Bendix’ on going testing and development improvements will continue.

  • Friction Classification: GF [380 deg C]  
  • Composition: Latest technology non asbestos organic (NAO)
  • Recommended for general suburban and city commuting

Bendix 4WD

Unlike most vehicles four wheel drives are often called on to do a variety of extraordinary tasks. Frequent braking in heavy city traffic one day, towing or adventure driving in the outback the next and then back in the suburbs the following day. Underbraking can be a serious problem. Fitting ordinary replacement pads can cause overheating, leading to a condition called brake fade and also shorter pad life.

The Bendix 4WD brake pad is a unique formulation giving extended service life at high temperatures and exceptional resistance to brake fade, while at the same time retaining a good pedal feel. To reduce the effects of off road dust and grit on brake noise Bendix 4WD disc pads are gasketed with a special material to ensure quieter operation.

  • Friction Classification: FF [380 deg C]
  • Recommended for city, country and outback roads
  • Composition: Asbestos free. Extended pad life and fade resistance at high temperatures.

 

Bendix General CT

The new Bendix General CT disc brake pads have raised the standard in every day driving, whether it’s around town or on the open road. They are made from premium materials and balance economy with efficiency like no other comparable product.

Bendix has taken the best of current ceramic technology from Europe and the US to create a compound especially suited to Australian conditions.

General CT brake pads are quieter, cleaner and deliver a consistent pedal feel all day long. In addition, General CT extends rotor life by leaving a special coating or film on the rotor surface.

Titanium Stripe. Instant friction… no bedding-in.

The most striking feature of the new General CT range is the Titanium stripe. It’s not there to look good, but to do away with the time consuming process of bedding-in. The stripe provides instant friction to deliver positive pedal feel and sure stopping power from the moment your customers drive out of your workshop.

  • Friction Classification: FF [320-380 deg C]
  • Recommended for general suburban and city commuting
  • Composition: Latest ceramic technology that gives a consistent pedal feel and titanium stripe for instant pedal feel

Bendix Heavy Duty

The new Bendix Heavy Duty pads belong on every ute, van and pickup in the country. It’s an automatic choice.

They’re made from a specifically developed compound formulated to deliver real heavy duty performance for all sorts of load carrying situations whether it’s the demands of city driving or the hard grind of construction sites. Bendix Heavy Duty brake pads are also ideal for towing – in fact, any situation involving frequent braking under load.

Features the Titanium Stripe.

The pads also come with an exclusive insulation layer between the friction material and backing plate for cooler braking and longer rotor life.

  • Friction Classification: FF [450 deg C]  
  • Composition: long lasting semi-metallic material which performs extremely well at high temperatures
  • Recommended for multi-purpose for commercial vehicles and towing & heavy duty applications

 

Bendix Standard Bonded Shoes

Bendix Standard Bonded Shoes can deliver all-round premium quality performance to save you time and money.

This is a new range of bonded shoes created specifically for Australian conditions to provide a fast, reliable and economical brake shoe replacement. The range has been specially formulated to provide all round performance with long life, low noise, low dust and excellent stopping power. They are equivalent to OE with superior friction material and quality metal shoes.

The range is extensive, covering the majority of Australian cars.
