DescriptionThe whole story▼
When lap times are measured in tenths and braking zones decide positions, the Performance Friction 7617 compound 333 racing brake pads deliver exactly the authority you need. Engineered to produce the highest initial bite of any Performance Friction compound, with a progressive rise in braking force as temperatures climb, these pads give GSX-R 1000 pilots unwavering control from the first corner of the session to the final lap.
Key Features
- Highest initial bite in the entire Performance Friction compound range — immediate, precise response the moment the lever is touched.
- Progressive braking performance increase with rising temperature ensures consistent feel throughout a full race distance.
- Smooth, linear transitions between braking and throttle application, enabling clean corner entry and confidence under hard stops.
- Recommended as a direct high-performance alternative to Brembo Z04 brake pads for riders demanding outright track capability.
- Specifically developed for racing conditions, maintaining reliability under the extreme thermal and mechanical loads of circuit use.
- Part number 7617.333.08.92 — each pack contains two pads, sufficient for one brake caliper.
Track Performance in Detail
The compound 333 formulation sits at the aggressive end of the Performance Friction line-up. Where many race compounds need several laps to reach operating temperature, the 333 delivers its signature hard initial bite from the very first braking event, making it a natural choice for sprint races and qualifying sessions where there is no time to wait for pads to come in. As the discs and pads build heat over a longer stint, braking force increases progressively rather than dropping off or becoming inconsistent — a characteristic that lets riders maintain the same braking reference points lap after lap.
The result is a braking feel that inspires genuine confidence: firm enough to scrub significant speed in a short distance, yet progressive enough to avoid locking a wheel on a trail-braking line. Transitions from heavy braking back to throttle are smooth and predictable, which matters enormously when you are managing rear-wheel traction on corner exit immediately after a hard stop.

The 7617 pads are designed to fit the following Brembo racing caliper families:
- Brembo Racing caliper M4 Monoblock
