FERODO OFF-ROAD materials evaluated under OFF-ROAD conditions

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


DISCLAMER
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 behavior 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.

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.
