W3 COMPOUND

Description

W3 is a highly versatile crossover compound intended for sporty street use and sprint-style circuit driving. It works as a bridge between fast road use and entry-level circuit work, with stronger braking capability and better thermal range than the lower street compounds.

Technical Summary

Material: Low steel.

Temperature range: NT to 650°C.

Average friction coefficient: 0.34 to 0.37.

Application: Sportive street use and sprint race.

Performance Profile

W3 has stronger friction and more thermal headroom than W1 and W2, making it far more capable under repeated hard braking. Initial bite is more immediate, while modulation remains one of its strengths. It is suitable for drivers who want one pad for spirited road use and occasional short circuit sessions.
