Brake Pads & Shoes

All Ferodo Racing brake pads are manufactured to the highest international ISO quality standards at Ferodo’s manufacturing facility in Italy. Every brake pad has a total of 26 separate quality controls during its manufacture which guarantee a repeatable and consistent product within and between every batch.

Precision Engineering
All of the pad back-plates are manufactured from high tensile steel meaning minimum distortion when subjected to the high clamping forces common in motorsport use. Pads are manufactured to maintain high tolerances on the pad and back-plate dimensions including: flatness, parallelism and overall thickness. This results in a rapid and uniform transmission of pressure from the brake system to the pads.

Disc Friendly
Unlike many competitive products Ferodo pads are kind on brake discs. Ferodo pads are developed to optimize both the pad and disc life. Our philosophy is not to increase pad life with the casualty of excessive disc wear.

High Controllability
All Ferodo Racing brake pads are engineered to perform with a relatively constant coefficient of friction (mu) across a wide range of temperatures, pressures and vehicle speeds. This results in a consistent brake feel for the driver meaning that the braking torque is a linear response to pedal pressure.

Wide Range of Material choices and Fitments
Ferodo Racing has one of the widest range of pad shapes in the brake pad market. This fitment range is available with the necessary compound choice meaning that there is nearly always a solution to your needs.

LEGEND

Friction level: overall mean friction coefficient
Bite: initial friction at the start of the stop
Fade Resistance: resistance to drop-off in friction coefficient under severe braking conditions
Controllability: how easy the brake is to modulate
Pad Life: how long the pad lasts
Disc Life: the life of the disc taking into consideration not only the reduction in thickness due to wear, but also maintenance of good surface condition
Wet Braking: the effectiveness of the material in wet conditions
Comfort: the amount of brake squeal and other vibration generated during the braking event
Pad Life in mud: important for off-road bikes

 

DISCLAIMER

All Ferodo brake pads citing race or racing on their packaging are solely developed for motorsport use. They are intended for race use only. They have not been developed for use on public roads and must not, under any circumstances, be used on public roads. The nature of racing prevents Federal Mogul from warranting or guaranteeing any aspect of the behaviour or performance of the brake pads, specifically because motorsport is inherently dangerous and the use of Ferodo racing brake pads in motorsport results in inherent strains and uses over which Federal-Mogul has no control.

Ferodo (Federal-Mogul) warrants only that the Ferodo racing brake pads have been manufactured in accordance with the manufacturing specifications and design for such pads.
In particular, and without in any way limiting the scope of the foregoing disclaimer, no warranty or guarantee, express or implied, is made as to the ability of the Federal-Mogul racing brake pads to protect the user from injury or death. By the usage of such racing brake pads the user explicitly assumes all said risks.

FURTHER TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTY GIVEN IN THE RESPECT OF CONFORMITY OF THE RACING BRAKE PADS TO THE MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS, FEDERAL-MOGUL DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES Of ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
