Pagid Racing E1538R29
Brake pads racing RSL 29 - shape 1538
Pagid Racing is the racing brand of the German TMD Friction group based in Essen: for more than 30 years it has developed brake pads, discs and brake fluid for motorsport, with compounds engineered in Germany and tested on circuits all over the world.
The RSL family is Pagid Racing's endurance range: wide operating temperature window, very good modulation, slightly progressive friction during the stop, low heat conductivity, disc friendly and works very well with ABS. Because of the pad colour many people simply call them "Pagid yellow".
The RSL 29 is the most popular Pagid compound in club racing and track days: excellent modulation, good initial bite, consistent friction and easy bedding. It is used on GT, touring cars and endurance prototypes and, thanks to its modulation, often in sprint races too.
