For over 100 years, Ferodo has been manufacturing hi-performance brakes for the world's top automotive and
motorcycle manufacturers. This wealth of knowledge and experience is now available to the motorcycle after
market through premium compounds and uncompromising quality. These superb performing pads are available
from O,E, replacement to a wide range of custom calipers. Ferodo pads are formulated to be very kind to
stainless rotors. No ugly scoring, unsightly black deposits or troublesome heat spotting. From the serious touring rider to the show bike builder,
Ferodo hi-tech friction materials offer the highest performance and longest life for your pads and rotors. For the discriminating Harley, Buell and
custom bike builder, Ferodo premium quality brake pads provide championship winning performance with a rich heritage to match.
Which friction compound should | choose for my bike?
Ferodo manufactures 3 diferent friction compounds for Harley-Davidson and custom V-Twin motorcydes. Below, is a comprehensive outine of the
benefits of each compound. We are also providing this quick, general guide on the facing page, for picking the right pad:
ST - for OEM replacement where performance and pad life are the priority.
P - for OEM replacement where cooler running temperatures and gentler rotor wear than stock are desired.
PRP - for polished rotors and show bikes where aesthetics take priority over performance.
