The second compound to be released this year from Carbotech. It is a
step up from the highly successful XP12 compound. The XP16™ leads the
highly touted XP™ series line of compounds from Carbotech. With an
extremely, and we mean extremely high initial bite, torque and fade
resistance than compound XP12™. XP16™ is a world leading friction
compound that is unmatched as a Ceramic racing compound, with a
temperature range of 250°F to 2000°F+. Carbotech XP16™ still has
outstanding release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech
compounds so successful. The XP16™ is the most rotor aggressive compound
Carbotech makes, but compared to it's competition the XP16™ is still
very rotor friendly and contains 100% non-corrosive dust. XP16™ is
recommended only for expert/very advanced drivers. XP16™ is found to be
most affective on race cars weighing 3,000lbs or more using R-Compound
tires only. Ideal for sprint use only in classes such as T1, T2, H1,
GT1, GT2, GT3, GT, GS, DP, P1, P2, etc… Not recommended for use as a
daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and
noise.
