Hawk Performance SuperDuty

For over 25 years, Hawk Performance has developed friction solutions for some of the largest trucks on the planet. Our products are used by both OE and aftermarket companies servicing the mining, construction, military and commercial truck markets. The Hawk SuperDuty compound uses that same high performance, severe-duty friction technology. The unique Ferro-Carbon material in SuperDuty brake pads delivers extremely high fade resistance with superior high-temperature rotor and brake pad wear. This compound has been engineered for Class 2 and higher, on-highway, commercial-grade vehicles.

Expert Opinion

The Hawk SuperDuty compound is a great choice for heavy duty vehicles (3/4 ton and up) that are either towing or looking for the best braking performance offered for their vehicle. The SuperDuty will generate some brake dust, but will also stop your large heavy load without worry. Some smaller vehicles with undersized brake systems will also benefit for the Superduty compound if the OEM brkae pads are consistently being over heated. If your primary concern is towing, choose the SuperDuty.
