Description
For drivers who demand uncompromising braking performance on the track, EBC Racing RP-X Rear Brake Pads are engineered to deliver maximum stopping power under the most extreme conditions. Designed specifically for the BMW M5 F90 (2018–2023), the RP-X compound provides aggressive bite, exceptional heat resistance, and consistent fade-free braking during competitive driving.
Built for sprint racing, time attack, hill climbs, and advanced track use, the RP-X compound maintains a stable friction coefficient of 0.55 up to 850°C, ensuring reliable performance even under repeated heavy braking.
Performance Highlights
Maximum Friction Output
With approximately 25% higher friction across the operating range compared to RP-1, RP-X delivers a noticeably more aggressive initial bite—ideal for heavier performance vehicles like the M5.
Immediate Cold Performance
Unlike many race-only compounds, RP-X offers strong braking response from cold without requiring a warm-up cycle, making it ideal for sprint events and short-session racing.
High-Temperature Stability
Engineered to operate consistently up to 850°C, minimizing brake fade during extended high-load track sessions.
Race-Oriented Compound
Optimized for track use, with increased dust and noise compared to street-oriented compounds. Slightly higher disc wear may occur relative to RP-1 due to the aggressive friction profile.
Application & Compliance
The RP-X compound is not R90 homologated for public road use in EU member states. While it can be driven to and from motorsport events in certain markets, users should verify local regulations before street operation.
RP-X is best suited for:
-
Heavier high-performance vehicles
-
Drivers requiring maximum initial bite
-
Aggressive track setups
-
Vehicles needing stronger rear braking balance
For drivers seeking a slightly less aggressive and more balanced track compound, EBC’s RP-1 may be preferred.
