UTV COMPOUNDS

Description

UTV compounds in the PAGID range are designed for demanding off-road racing conditions where braking performance must remain strong, controllable, and consistent under heavy load. Within that lineup, UTV 1 and UTV 2 serve two distinct performance priorities, giving teams and drivers a clear choice between maximum sprint-focused aggression and longer-run endurance stability.

UTV 1 is the more aggressive of the two compounds and is built as a high-friction metal-ceramic option for sprint-style UTV competition where maximum bite and friction are decisive. It is defined by very strong initial bite, very high friction performance, excellent high-temperature resistance, and strong release characteristics, creating a compound that feels immediate, confident, and highly usable in intense racing conditions. Its combination of maximum fade resistance and disc friendliness makes it especially effective when outright stopping power and sharp response are the main priorities, giving drivers a pad that delivers hard, repeatable braking without sacrificing control.

UTV 2 takes that same UTV racing focus in a more endurance-minded direction. It still offers very good initial bite and high friction, but its character is tuned toward flatter wear behavior, stronger durability, and sustained performance over longer runs. Compared with UTV 1, UTV 2 is the more balanced choice for medium-high friction endurance use, where teams need strong stopping power together with reduced pad wear and dependable release characteristics. It remains disc friendly and retains a confident, usable feel, but its real advantage lies in how it manages performance over time rather than leaning fully into the most aggressive sprint-oriented response.

The core difference between the two is application focus. UTV 1 is the sharper, higher-intensity sprint compound, built for drivers who want the strongest initial attack, maximum fade resistance, and the highest friction feel in short, hard competition. UTV 2 is the more durable endurance-focused alternative, offering slightly more measured bite and friction behavior in exchange for reduced wear and stronger consistency over longer race distances. Together, they give the PAGID UTV family a well-defined spread: UTV 1 for outright sprint aggression, and UTV 2 for teams that need braking performance to last deeper into demanding endurance conditions.
