DescriptionThe whole story

Engineered to meet the uncompromising demands of circuit riding, the Performance Friction 7617 brake pads in 333 compound deliver the highest initial bite of any Performance Friction mix — giving you the split-second stopping confidence the Ducati Panigale V4, V4 S, and V4 R demand at race pace. Part number 7617.333.08.92 is purpose-built for Brembo monobloc and GP4-RX racing calipers, and is widely recommended as a direct, high-performance alternative to the Brembo Z04 pad.

Key Features

  • Highest initial bite in the entire Performance Friction compound range — immediate, controlled deceleration from the first touch of the lever.
  • Progressive friction build across the temperature range — performance rises predictably as the pads come up to operating temperature, not abruptly.
  • Seamless brake-to-throttle transitions — the tuned feel avoids upsetting chassis balance mid-corner, keeping the suspension working as intended.
  • Certified direct replacement for Brembo Z04 pads — a proven upgrade path for riders stepping up from OEM-spec race compounds.
  • Designed exclusively for track use — the 333 compound is optimised for sustained high-temperature cycling on circuit, not road commuting.
  • Verified fitment for Brembo M4 Monoblock, M50 Monoblock, and GP4-RX racing calipers — no adapter or modification required.

Compound & Performance Detail

The 333 compound sits at the aggressive end of Performance Friction's road-to-race spectrum. Its friction coefficient climbs in a controlled, linear fashion as the disc and pad temperature rises under repeated heavy braking — precisely the behaviour a Panigale V4 R rider needs when trailing the brakes deep into a chicane lap after lap. Unlike compounds that deliver an initial spike followed by fade, the 333 holds its character through extended sessions, making consistent lap times easier to achieve.

The formulation is also notable for chassis neutrality. Brake torque that arrives abruptly or unpredictably loads the front suspension unevenly and can unsettle the bike mid-corner. The 333's progressive delivery allows riders to modulate lever pressure with confidence, freeing them to focus on corner entry rather than managing front-end behaviour.
