Timbren BES OnyxBite Severe-Duty Disc Brake Pad Set

Timbren BES OnyxBite Severe-Duty Disc Brake Pads are a severe-duty brake pad upgrade for trucks that tow and haul. They are not a plain OEM-style replacement. These low-metallic disc brake pads (also called brake pads or brake shoes) are part of the Timbren Brake Enhancement System (BES). They are built to handle more heat and load than typical stock-style pads.

Key Features:

• OnyxBite low-metallic compound: A high-friction, severe-duty formula with a small amount of metal in the pad surface. It gives a stronger initial bite and better heat handling under load.
• Consistent stopping power: Timbren designed the compound to hold braking performance as the brakes heat up. It also resists the glazing that can happen when pads are pushed hard.
• Copper-free formulation: Meets copper-free environmental standards.
• Factory bed-in layer: A blue coating on the pad face helps the pads begin engaging with the rotor right after installation. This means less break-in time.
• Multilayer vulcanized shims: Trelleborg rubber shims absorb high-frequency vibration to help reduce brake squeal.
• Stainless steel hardware: Timbren describes a stainless steel hardware kit for a clean, quiet installation.
• Warranty: Timbren BES brakes carry a 42-month, 42,000-mile warranty.

Whether you tow a camper, boat or equipment trailer, or haul heavy payloads, OnyxBite pads give you a firm, responsive pedal and strong stopping performance. They can be used on their own or alongside Timbren BES OnyxBond coated rotors as a matched system. Each part number in this line is vehicle-specific and is offered in front and rear configurations.
