Timbren Industries OnyxBite Brake Pads

Timbren OnyxBite severe-duty brake pads are a heavy-duty disc brake pad upgrade for trucks that tow and haul. They are part of the Timbren BES (Brake Enhancement System) line. They are built to handle more heat and load than typical OEM-style replacement pads, and they help keep stopping power consistent when the brakes get hot.

Key Features:

• OnyxBite compound: a severe-duty, high-friction, low-metallic formula. It has a small amount of metal in the pad surface for a stronger initial bite and better heat handling under load.
• Fade resistance: the compound is designed for thermal stability. It resists glazing and keeps pedal feel firm and responsive during heavy braking.
• Factory bed-in layer: a blue abrasive coating on the pad face seats the pad against the rotor on installation. This gives responsive pedal feel without a long break-in.
• Multilayer vulcanized rubber shims: the shims dampen vibration and help reduce brake squeal.
• Copper-free formula: meets environmental standards in all 50 states.
• Hardware: some part numbers include a stainless steel hardware kit. Check the individual listing for what is included.

Compared with standard ceramic or organic pads, OnyxBite pads are made for work trucks that tow trailers, campers and boats, or that run at heavy loads. Each variant in this line is vehicle-specific and comes in front or rear versions.
