Powerful braking performance for SUV and 4X4
- Superior braking power designed for use on mini-vans and SUVs with upgraded oversized wheels.
- Braking power proportional to brake pedal pressure.
- High brake friction pad which are gentle on the discs to help prolong disc life.
- Recommended for cars with upgraded oversized wheels equipped with OEM brake calipers.
- Can be used with any type of DIXCEL brake disc range.

Test data showing the superior performance of the X-type brake pads compared to the OEM brake pads
Brake pad performance comparison test of the X-type and OEM using a heavier vehicle with upgraded oversized wheels.
Test Vehicle ：DIXCEL tuned Toyota Alphard
Test Method ：Replicating ordinary street-use, full braking from 60km/h. Replicating highway-use, braking from 80km/h. Repeating each condition 5 times for the 3 different patterns listed below. Taking an average of the stopping distances not using the maximum and minimum values for each pattern.
Pattern 1 ：OEM wheels (16 inch) and OEM brake pads
Pattern 2 ：Aftermarket wheels (22 inch) and OEM brake pads
Pattern 3 ：Aftermarket wheels (22 inch) and DIXCEL X-type brake pads
■ Comparison of braking distances
Upgrading your wheels to oversized aftermarket wheels without upgrading your brake pads can be dangerous!To avoid a decrease in brake performance, DIXCEL recommends upgrading your brake pads when upgrading tooversized aftermarket wheels!
