Jagwire announced the introduction of its LR3 disc brake and Elite brake pad lineup. The initial notice listed the new products without technical details.

A month later the company provided specifications: the Pro LR3 disc is a two‑piece design with a stainless‑steel friction ring and an aluminum spider, offering up to 10 % more braking performance while maintaining weight. The disc is available in five diameters and multiple mounting options. The Elite Cooling pads feature a graphene layer between a semi‑metallic friction material and aluminum cooling fins, claimed to reduce disc temperatures by up to 27 % and pad temperatures by up to 13 % in Jagwire’s tests. Prices range from €58.99 to €94.99 for the disc and €22.99 per pad pair, with sales listed for Germany.
