ME20 was born in the heat of the BTCC Super Touring era — a period that demanded more from braking systems than almost any other form of motorsport — and it has never looked back. This semi-metallic compound delivers a step up in initial bite and brake power that drivers notice immediately, with a direct, progressive response that inspires confidence whether the entry is cautious or committed. Pedal feel is outstanding and completely consistent across the full speed range, modulation is effortless, and the ability to brake hard and late into corners is a genuine characteristic of the compound rather than a marketing claim. Heat resistance is impressive: ME20 maintains stable, predictable performance at disc temperatures above 650°C. Wear on both pads and discs is low, and performance in cold or wet conditions matches its dry-weather capability thanks to excellent resistance to water fade.
