A Severe-Duty Pad Built for Trucks That Actually Work
Timbren's BES OnyxBite Rear Brake Pads are a severe-duty upgrade for Suburban and Yukon XL owners who load their trucks near max GVWR. Unlike standard ceramic pads that prioritize low dust, the OnyxBite high-friction, low-metallic compound delivers a firmer pedal and stronger initial bite, which shortens stopping distances when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Key Features
- High-friction, low-metallic OnyxBite compound for stronger brake bite under load
- Engineered for thermal stability to resist glazing during repeated heavy stops
- Multi-layer rubber shims and precision chamfers dampen vibration and noise
- Fully compliant with 2025 copper-free environmental standards
- Complete stainless steel hardware kit included for a noise-free install
- Backed by Timbren's 42-month/42,000-mile warranty
