Zipp® developed the Tangente™ High Performance Cork Brake Pad as a response to the intense heat caused by braking on carbon. These pads are designed for our carbon rims and employ a composite cork polymer to reduce glazing and offer consistent brake response. As a result, the Tangente cork pad avoids the brake pulsation produced by residue buildup from rubber pads and can even eliminate pulsation from rims with previous buildup.Even though the newer silver Tangente Platinum Pro Brake Pad is designed to perform better across all riding conditions, we realize there remain fans of the smooth consistent feel of cork.Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad’s unique shape places more material in the front of the pad to improve durability and shed water. Although the composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber compounds, the Tangente cork pad lasts longer than most rubber carbon-specific pads because of its shape and 0.5 mm greater overall thickness.Select Shimano®/SRAM® or Campagnolo® stylesThe Tangente pad may be used on any tubular or clincher rim with a carbon braking surface, but it should never be used on aluminum braking surfaces.
Zipp's Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads have been designed to offer excellent performance in all conditions. Specially formulated for rims with a carbon braking surface, the Platinum Pro Evo's raise the bar for braking performance and control.Carbon-braking surface specific compound excels in all conditionsGrooves provide excellent water dissipation in wet conditionsDelivers smooth speed control and reliable stopping powerSold in packs of two enough for one brakeOnly compatible with tubular or clincher rims with carbon braking surface do not use on rims with aluminium braking surfaceFull carbon rims with carbon braking surfaces can suffer from poor braking performance in some conditions, so Zipp designed the Tangente Platinum Pro Evos to excel at all times, regardless of the conditions. The compound has been designed to work specifically with carbon brake tracks, providing excellent modulation and control combined with more than enough stopping power. When the conditions turn foul, the grooves in the pad surface dissipate water with ease, leaving the braking performance largely unaffected. If you want fantastic braking performance in all conditions for your carbon rims, look no further than the Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo!

The redesigned Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is created especially for braking on carbon surfaces delivering smooth speed control and reliable stopping power in all conditions, wet or dry. It also is designed for a longer wear life. Just like a champion cyclist, this pad is a versatile performer.
Please Note: The Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is designed for use on carbon rims and has not been approved for use on aluminium braking surfaces. One pair supplied in a pack.
