Gen 3 Technology: The Evolution of Strength
The Gen 3 technology by Triton revolves around the process of 3D bonding of long carbon fibers in the brake disc’s structure. This breakthrough technique marks a significant advancement from the previous Gen 2 discs and contributes to the impressive strength and lightness of the Gen 3 version.
Let’s dive into the key elements that set Gen 3 apart:
Long Carbon Fibers: Unlike Gen 2 discs that utilized shorter carbon fibers, Triton’s Gen 3 brake discs employ longer carbon fibers. This enhancement translates to improved load-bearing capabilities and enhanced mechanical properties. The elongated fibers act as structural reinforcements, reducing the likelihood of microcracks and enhancing the overall structural integrity of the brake disc.
3D Bonding Process: The 3D bonding process is the heart of Triton’s Gen 3 technology. During manufacturing, long carbon fibers are intricately woven into a complex 3D network within the silicon carbide matrix. This meticulous arrangement creates a stronger and more resilient composite material, ensuring that the brake disc can withstand immense stress and extreme temperatures during aggressive braking maneuvers.
