⚠️ New brakes don't perform at their best straight out of the box.
Proper bedding-in is an essential step that helps establish an even transfer layer between the brake pad and rotor surface. When performed correctly, it can improve braking consistency, reduce noise, and help maximize the life of your braking components.
When the bedding process is skipped or rushed, it can contribute to uneven deposits, brake vibration, reduced performance, and premature wear.
This guide explains the recommended bedding-in procedure and why it's critical to long-term braking performance.
