Continuing our tradition of category leading innovation, we have developed a new brake pad to deliver whisper quiet braking, silky smooth operation and noticeably less dust.
The top moving Bendix General CT references are now cloaked in STEALTH Advanced Technology.
Bendix engineers have used high tech laser and dynamometer equipment to study the surface contact between each individual brake pad and rotor, and identified the optimum contact surface area. The result is STEALTH Advanced Technology. These new diamond cut pads have no radial features so they do not sustain vibration from contact between rotor and friction. They are engineered to transfer the calliper force where it is needed, providing the most effective surface contact for unrivalled stopping performance.
The result is STEALTH: the quietest, smoothest, and cleanest pad we have ever created.
Bendix have extensively tested the innovative STEALTH Technology on noise and performance dynamometers in its Australian friction laboratory; one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.
The results speak for themselves – unrivalled stopping performance, the quietest brakes ever, long wearing and remarkably smoother, cleaner braking.
Bendix never stop innovating, so that you can put your foot down with confidence.
Bendix engineers have used high tech laser and dynamometer equipment to study the surface contact between each individual brake pad and rotor, and identified the optimum contact surface area.

They are engineered to transfer the calliper force where it is needed, providing the most effective surface contact for unrivalled stopping performance.
Brake temperature is determined by how much energy is going into the brake, and how quickly that energy can be rejected to atmosphere. The energy put in to a vehicle's brakes is determined by the vehicle's mass and speed. The brakes turn the kinetic energy into heat, which is dissipated by the rotor. STEALTH pads put exactly the same amount of heat into exactly the same rotor; there's no difference to the energy transfer. Dyno testing and vehicle testing shows the stopping performance to be unchanged with the diamond shaped pad.
Less contact area results in higher contact pressure for the same calliper force, which balances out the effect of having less pad surface area. On brake dynamometer performance tests and vehicle trials, the stopping performance of STEALTH pads is the same as traditional pads, at every speed, temperature and pedal effort.
The friction material formulation has been upgraded on the STEALTH references and has an extremely long wear rate. STEALTH pads will last at least as long as regular General CT pads or longer. This is longer than most competitive products.
NO - Bendix users know that the current range of Bendix pads is quiet. The STEALTH product take noise elimination to the next level of silent braking.
NO – The existing General CT part numbers will be enhanced with STEALTH technology. The diamond shaped pads will replace the existing part numbers so there is no need to range additional parts.
NO – This innovative performance enhancement is provided to you at no extra cost.
YES – STEALTH front brake pad sets can be used in conjunction with rear General CT brake pad sets that are not made with STEALTH technology, and vice-versa.
