Bentley Continental Brake Upgrades | GT, GTC & GT Speed Performance Solutions

The Bentley Continental GT, GTC, and GT Speed are the definition of grand touring excellence. With twin-turbocharged powerplants, luxurious cabins, and effortless acceleration, they dominate the road in style. But when a car of this weight and performance is driven hard — whether on autobahns, mountain passes, or even track days — the braking system becomes the limiting factor.

At Triton Motorsports, we engineer the industry’s most advanced brake upgrades for the Bentley Continental lineup, combining floating steel 2-piece rotors, iron-to-carbon ceramic conversion kits, and CCB-H carbon ceramic replacement discs. This article breaks down every option, explains the technology behind our solutions, and shows why we deliver the ultimate Bentley braking experience.

Why Bentley Continental Brakes Need an Upgrade

Bentley designed the Continental as a luxurious performance GT. However, with curb weights over 5,000 lbs, factory braking systems — while powerful — face challenges:

• Excessive heat buildup during repeated high-speed stops.

• Premature rotor wear on heavy cars with massive torque.

• Factory “quasi” 2-piece steel rotors that lack the benefits of a true floating design.

• CCM (carbon ceramic matrix) discs on GT Speed and select models, which are prone to premature wear and expensive OEM replacement costs.

For spirited drivers or owners seeking long-term reliability and performance, Triton’s brake upgrades offer a quantum leap in technology, efficiency, and serviceability.

Floating Steel 2-Piece Rotors for Bentley Continental (GT & GTC)

Why Floating Steel Rotors?

Unlike the factory quasi 2-piece discs, Triton’s floating steel rotors are true 2-piece assemblies:

• CNC-machined billet aluminum hats (T6-6061 or 7075).

• High-carbon steel friction rings with optimized vane structures.

• Floating hardware allowing thermal expansion without distortion.

•

Benefits for Bentley Owners:

• Improved heat dissipation → reduces brake fade under repeated stops.

• Lighter unsprung mass → sharper steering and suspension response.

• Serviceable design → replace only the friction rings instead of the entire rotor.

• Lower long-term cost vs. factory replacements.

Ideal For:

• Bentley Continental GT and GTC owners running steel brakes from the factory.

• Drivers who prioritize longevity, performance, and cost efficiency.

Carbon Ceramic Brake Conversion Kits (Iron → Carbon)

For Bentley owners with iron factory brakes who want the benefits of carbon ceramics, Triton offers complete conversion kits. These include:

• CCB-H carbon ceramic rotors (front and rear).

• Performance pads designed to match the ceramic discs.

• Direct bolt-on fitment (no modification required).

What Makes Triton’s Carbon Ceramics Different?

Unlike OEM CCM (Carbon Ceramic Matrix) discs, which use chopped carbon fiber reinforcement, Triton’s CCB-H (Carbon Ceramic – Hardened Layer) technology features:

• 3D long-fiber reinforcement for superior structural integrity.

• Hardened surface layer baked with silicon carbide (SiC) for extreme wear resistance.

• Greater thermal stability for repeated high-energy stops.

Benefits for Bentley Owners:

• Up to 50% weight savings vs. steel discs.

• Fade-free braking under even the harshest conditions.

• Incredible longevity — often lasting the life of the car with proper use.

• Enhanced performance aesthetic for GT and GTC models.

CCB-H Carbon Ceramic Replacements (For GT & GT Speed CCM-equipped Models)

The Bentley Continental GT Speed and certain GT/GTC trims were factory-equipped with CCM carbon ceramic discs. While lighter than steel, CCM discs suffer from:

• Premature wear under heavy use.

• Surface micro-cracking with repeated heat cycles.

• Extremely high OEM replacement costs.

Triton’s CCB-H replacements are the ultimate solution.

Advantages of CCB-H vs. Factory CCM

• Hardened ceramic friction layer extends usable life dramatically.

• Improved wear resistance → no need for frequent replacements.

• Direct-fit bolt-on replacements for GT Speed and other CCM-equipped models.

• Superior heat management → fade-free performance at any speed.

For owners who demand the best Bentley Continental brakes available, our CCB-H discs outperform OEM in every measurable category.

Brake Pad Options – Tailored for Bentley Driving

A brake upgrade is only as good as the pads paired with it. Triton offers pads engineered for:

• Steel setups: Semi-metallic compounds for spirited street driving; low-dust ceramic pads for luxury daily use.

• Carbon ceramics: Special compounds designed to mate with CCB-H discs, maximizing friction without excessive wear.

Technical Advantage: Why Triton Outperforms OEM & Aftermarket

1. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) – All rotors and hardware undergo stress simulation for maximum load tolerance.

2. Advanced alloys – Billet hats (6061/7075), high-carbon steel rings, and aerospace-grade titanium hardware.

3. Serviceability – Replace only the friction ring, not the entire rotor.

4. Weight reduction – Up to 50% lighter than steel, sharper handling, reduced unsprung mass.

5. Proven CCB-H technology – Next-generation ceramics that last longer and perform better than CCM.
