Akebono 10 POT x StopFlex Carbon Ceramic Disc Brake Kit for Tesla Model X
***You have choice of caliper logo display in Tesla or Akebono***
The key advantage of Carbon Ceramic, however, is the total weight saving over conventional metal discs of approximately 50%. As well as enhancing performance and fuel economy, this huge reduction in both unsprung weight and rotating masses offers major benefits in terms of comfort and road-holding, especially on poor road surfaces.
Akebono 10-POT Caliper Features:
- Opposed-piston design: Unlike standard floating calipers that use a single piston, Akebono's fixed, opposed-piston design places five pistons on each side of the brake rotor for a total of ten. This configuration provides uniform and powerful clamping force across the entire brake pad.
- Superior braking performance: The even distribution of pressure and large brake pads, which are necessary for high-performance vehicles, result in stable and controllable braking, even at high speeds or under heavy loads. This design is an evolution of brake technologies derived from motorsports, including Formula 1.
- Lightweight and rigid construction: Drawing on racing development, the calipers feature a lightweight and rigid monobloc aluminum construction. This reduces the vehicle's unsprung weight and rotating mass, improving handling, fuel economy, and ride comfort.
- Excellent heat management: Forged aluminum and multi-piston configurations help these calipers manage the extreme heat generated during repeated, heavy braking. This prevents brake fade and ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions.
- Quiet and comfortable operation: Akebono incorporates noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) technology developed for its mass-production car parts. This allows the high-performance system to operate with the quiet comfort of premium street-oriented brakes.
- Custom integration: The calipers are often part of a complete big brake kit that includes features like carbon-ceramic discs and performance brake pads. These kits are engineered for specific high-performance vehicles to ensure proper brake balance and optimal function.
-
Visually appealing: As a highly visible component on performance vehicles, the calipers are also designed with an attractive aesthetic to complement the car's overall appearance.
The Apex of Braking Technology: TTSPORT Carbon Ceramic Rotor Kit
This is the definitive braking upgrade for enthusiasts and racers who demand the absolute pinnacle of performance. Derived from aerospace and Formula 1 technology, our carbon ceramic brake system offers a monumental leap in stopping power, thermal capacity, and weight reduction over any conventional iron rotor.
Each rotor is crafted from a long-fiber, carbon-reinforced silicon carbide matrix, making it **up to 50% lighter** than a comparable iron rotor. This massive reduction in unsprung and rotational mass provides a significant competitive advantage, sharpening turn-in, improving acceleration, and allowing your suspension to perform with maximum efficiency. The material's unparalleled thermal stability guarantees **zero brake fade**, delivering consistent, powerful, and repeatable braking performance at temperatures where steel rotors would fail.
