 FERODO BRAKE PADS
 |
Ferodo is one of the world's top manufacturer of motorcycle brake pads. Ferodo offers a wide range of brake pad configurations for OEM and Brembo calipers as well as a large selection of different brake pad compounds, depending on application.
|
Which Ferodo Brake Pad is Right for Me?
| New brake pads should be installed when your current pads are nearly worn down or when you are installing new brake rotors. Ferodo brake pads are highly recommended when installing Brembo High Performance Rotors or BrakeTech Ceramic Matrix Composite, Iron or Stainless Steel Rotors. |
| When purchasing Ferodo brake pads, you need to know which caliper you will be using (ie. stock or aftermarket Brembo?) as well as the proper brake pad compound. Figuring out the correct caliper is pretty easy, just look at the caliper on your bike. However, the proper compound needs careful consideration. The available compounds are listed below - it is important to choose the correct compound based on your riding abilities and actual riding environment. Don't choose a compound because you *think* you're a hotshot or because that's what your racing idol uses. Brake pads have optimal operating conditions and parameters - choosing the wrong brake pad compound will result in inferior braking performance and compromises your safety.

- Platinum - Platinum brake pads are organic (non-metallic) brake pads that were designed from Ferodo's
CP9.11 World Superbike brake compound. Designed for street use, organic compounds are less abrasive than sintered
(all-metallic) compounds and cause less wear on your brake rotors. Platinum compounds work well in wet and dry
conditions and work well with BrakeTech rotors and Brembo High Performance rotors. Recommended for all-purpose usage or for situations where semi-metallic or sintered (all-metallic) compounds cannot be used.
-
ST/STAC - SinterGrip (ST) brake pads are the best sintered (all-metallic) road brake pads available.
Developed in conjunction with international race teams, ST pads offer the highest braking coefficient (braking
torque) for road brake pads. ST pads last 3 times longer than competing organic pad compounds and offer 20% less
disc wear than competing sintered compounds. STAC (SinterGrip with Array Cooling Technology) brake compounds are
an improved version of the ST compound - they offer improved braking performance, less brake fade, improved wet
weather performance and extended pad life. ST and STAC brake pads work well with all BrakeTech rotors and Brembo High Performance rotors. Recommended for street
riders who may do the occasional track day. Please note that STAC pads will only be available for 4-pad configurations. Please check your bike to ensure that this applies to you before ordering.
-
XRAC - XRAC brake pads are the next step up for the ST/STAC brake compound. This sintered (all-metallic)
brake compound is Ferodo's best "double-duty" brake pad - capable of maintaining the highest levels of
performance on the track but also being usable on the street. The XRAC compound was developed in conjunction with
Honda and Yamaha World SuperSport teams. XRAC brake pads already incorporate Ferodo's Array Cooling technology
for enhanced braking performance. XRAC brake pads work well with all BrakeTech rotors and Brembo High Performance rotors. Recommended for racers or
ultra-hardcore street riders.
-
CP2.11/CP9.11 - Ferodo's CP2.11 and CP9.11 compounds are Ferodo's best track-only compounds and offer
greater feel than the XRAC compound, making them the better choice for dedicated track bikes. The CP2.11 compound is an improved version of the CP9.11 compound. CP.211
and CP9.11 compounds work well with BrakeTech Iron and
Stainless Steel rotors and Brembo High Performance
rotors but work exceptionally well with BrakeTech's new
Ceramic Matrix Composite rotors. Recommended for dedicated track riders and is not recommended for street
usage.
