This plot represents transition of friction level during a braking application.

High initial bite type

High initial bite type gives drivers reliale braking performance at the initial braking application. Easy to decelerate with small pedal pressure even on the long straight line. Good for cars w/o brake servo.

Common type

Most common type in three types. Moderate braking force at the initial braking application. Easy to controll at the end of the braking application. Applicable for any car/circuit.

Flat type

For users requiring great controllability. Least initial byte in three types. Flat friction level enables great controllability throughout the braking application. Most stable performance under continuous severe condition (continuous change of speed/temperature).

About Bedding-in

Competition-use brake pads need to go through a process to be pre-heated before a race to exhibit its full potential. This process is called bedding-in.

《 Method of bedding-in 》

When using new pads/discs for the first time on a circuit, start with 50% braking for about 5 minutes and then go back to the pit once and take at least 5minutes interval. After that, repeat 70~80% braking for about 10 minutes. Pit in again and take an interval of about 10 minutes. After that, gradually increase from 80% to 100% braking, and the bedding-in of pads/discs on circuit is completed.

《 Comparisons of the method of recommended bedding-in 》
