The addition of those new pads to the existing XTRA range, which includes Brembo Max slotted discs and XTRA drilled discs, creates the ultimate performance combination specifically designed for high performance vehicles

Brembo will also unveil a new visual identity across its pads line to help distinguish each family with different backing plates and shim colors.
