It is important to bed-in your new brake pads to achieve optimal
performance. The pad bed-in process transfers an even amount of material
from the pad to the rotor to increase friction. Correct pad bed-in will
increase pad longevity and reduce the likelihood of brake fade and noise.
To safely achieve optimal results, accelerate the bike to a moderate speed
(10mph/16kph), then apply the brakes evenly without skidding until you
are at walking speed. Ensure you remain seated and release the brakes
while you are still moving to prevent coming to a complete stop. Repeat
approximately 10 times. Next, perform the same steps but at a faster
speed, repeating 5-6 times.
Important: Do not lock up the wheels at any point during the bed-in
procedure to allow even material build up on the rotor. Allow the brakes to
cool prior to any additional riding. If you require further information about
