Magnum's new Advanced Heat Dissapation Brake pads are starting a new trend in braking techology. The new cooling fin style draws heat away from the caliper allowing them to run about 30% cooler. This provides a more progressive, less grabby and consistant feel over the course of a long moto and helps prevent brake fading. No modifications are necessary to install them. Retail price is $36.95. These pads are available at Magnum Dealers everywhere. Call 800-783-5859 to find a dealer near you. www.magnumdistributing.com

Stupidest thing I have seen in a while. Looks like it would get damaged very easily and I don't think much airflow will reach it anyways. I wouldn't run it for free.
I can`t see where that cooling fin woud make any difference.Looks like a C class gimmick.
they are the real deal I bought them for my ktm 450 they work great because they run cooler i dont get know brake fade but not as strong as stock pads ,so stalling is not a problem anymore
"they run cooler i dont get know brake fade" (?) get this guy a testing spot with a manufacturer, stalling is not a problem anymore for this guy either, game on.
I bet they work awesome when they are packed with mud or get bent into the spokes or rotor. Maybe only slightly rated higher by me than that tamer (I think that was the brand) holeshot device that ran a big rod up the front of your forks.
I had that idea 17years ago, Iwelded a fin onto a FRONT brake pad on my CR500 SuperMoto, guess what? it worked, trouble is I was 17years too early and no one cared! It also had a vacuam activated holeshot device on the forks, they laughed at that too.....
You don't need airflow to dissipate heat, you just need surface area and this has it. Doesn't matter if they have mud on them, it will still dissipate heat. I will give them a try.
It looks stupid as hell, but the scientific basis for it to work is def there. Basic Heat Transfer 101, add fins to shit and it will cool more
They could curve it so that it followed the shape of the brake disk, then it might look better, more like a cover or something
The track I race at guys will try to bend that on ya! This would be good for the rider who does not use front brakes at all.
Actually, these things are pretty tough. Dont fall directly on a rock and it should be fine. Worst case scenario you have to put your man pants on and bend it back, but I dont think it'll happen. They do work, my friend is an A rider who rides mostly hare scrambles and enduro; he was one of the first guys to run this (inside scource) it will actually start to discolor from the heat it is pulling away. Im going to give it a try, there is no worse feeling that flying through the trees then going to grab your rear brake and nothings there! Moto X guys, dont worry, if anything bad happens your truck is always in view and the wambulance is on scene. Off-road guys, this is worth trying.
