Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads

The Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is the result of Zipp's endless drive to improve and optimize everything they make down to the smallest of components or accessories. Zipp''s redesigned pad was created to maximize braking on carbon rims and delivers great control and reliable stopping power in all conditions whether your ride brings you dry or wet conditions.  

The new Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad does all this in several specific ways:

• 10 percent increase in surface area than the previous pad model for greater max braking power.
• A 1 mm thinner design provides improved clearance with integrated brakes or newer wider rims. 
• Despite a reduced thickness, its increased radial height increases pad life. Increased radial height also spreads heat over larger "swept area" of the rim for lower peak temperatures. 
• New groove design sweeps water off rim for improved wet-weather braking performance and also channels air over rim to improve cooling. 
• Uniquely formulated compound manages the extreme temperatures that can result from heavy braking on carbon. 

Zipp knows there will still remain faithful fans of cork and its smooth, consistent feel. That''s why Zipp will still offer the Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad, but they designed the new Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Pads to provide that same predictable ride during the many lighter brake touches required to navigate turns or group rides.

The Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is designed for use exclusively on carbon rims with carbon braking surfaces and has not been approved for or designed to be used on aluminum braking surfaces.
