- Reduced Wear: The aramid material exhibits 50% less wear compared to conventional friction plates.
- Heat Dissipation: Combined with ER2 technology and spheroidal casting, the system runs cooler for longer periods.
- Fade Resistance: High-temperature stability ensures consistent torque transmission even under heavy loads.
