Supplier's note

  1. Three Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Steel Material Composition: The high-carbon steel body (OB5 spec) provides 20% higher tensile strength than generic alloys, resisting deformation under heavy loads.
    • Ribbed Friction Pattern: The outer grooves reduce heat buildup by 15% compared to flat-surface designs, extending service life.
    • Serrated Hub Engagement: The interlocking teeth ensure 25% faster clutch engagement than smooth-hub alternatives, minimizing gear shift lag.
  2. Optimal Version Selection:

    • Base Model: Ideal for routine Audi Q5 maintenance or low-mileage vehicles.
    • Advanced Model: Recommended for frequent stop-and-go driving or towing, leveraging its 220°C heat tolerance.
    • Pro Model: Engineers chose this for track or off-road use—its 260°C resistance and triple-wear coating enable 3x longer lifespan in extreme conditions.

*Pro Model’s friction coefficient exceeds SAE J1286 Class AA standards by 10%.
