We have gotten great life out of these pads without sacrificing performance. Our customer range from you everyday Harley rider to all out amateur racers and everything in between.  If you have any questions about this pads and which pads will be best for your application don't hesitate to contact us at 303-893-4349 or sales@303cycle.com.



Information from Ferodo
Established in 1897, Ferodo is one of the World's Largest and oldest Friction materials manufacturers.  Original Equipment supplier to the global motorcycle manufacturers, Ferodo is the only major OEM in the aftermarket.  Companies like BMW, Honda, Yamaha, KTM and Brembo to name a few, only rely on Ferodo friction products.  Ferodo advanced technology spans the globe with over 200 R&D personnel and some 30 research dyno's worldwide. The Motorcycle Division, now headquartered in the Federal Mogul advanced engineering Special Products Plant in Mondovi, Italy resides in the Motorcar Racing cell...  Where Ferodo works directly with the top Factories in the World Superbike, MotoGP, AMA SX, NASCAR, Formula 1, World Rally and more.

Platinum - PL: (Street/Rear Pads) Ferodo Platinum motorcycle brake pads are manufactured from the World Super Bike racing compound CP911, using technology gained from Ferodo's world racing program.  The material has been developed using Ferodo's unique vulcanization process, resulting in consistent braking torque and longer pad life.  Platinum pads manufactured with original equipment homologated processes are suitable for stainless steel or cast iron discs. 
- Platinum's ally-coated back plates reduce corrosion and keep pistons from sticking to heated paint.
- Highest friction coefficient available in organic road material
- Performs equally well in wet or dry conditions.

SinterGrip - ST: (Double HH - Street) Ferodo premium-grade SinterGrip Road brake pads are manufactured using a full-metal compound that is the world leader in sintered technology.  These pads were developed with World Grand Prix teams and designed to set the standard for the next generation in motorcycle braking.  Designed for stainless steel discs only, SinterGrip Road brake pads offer reduced corrosion, three times the pad life of competitive organic products and 20 percent less disc wear, compared with other sintered compounds.  These pads perform equally well in wet or dry conditions.
- Copper-coated backplate.
- Highest mechanical bonding possible between friction material and backplate.
- Highest coefficient of friction (braking torque) available in aftermarket road friction material.
- minimal bedding-in of metal.

STAC:  (Performance street/Track-day Brake Pads) Ferodo Array Cooling Brake Pads apply teh array cooling, or STAC concept to the ST sintered rance.  Ferodo's Array Cooing pads provide the following benefits:
- Three times the pad life of comparable organic road materials.
- 20% less disc wear than competitive sintered compounds.
- Low disc deposition
- Extremely high friction coefficient.
- Excellent wet performance.
- Consistent performance throughout the life of the pad
- STAC is recommended only for stainless discs.

XRAC: (Track-day/Racing Brake Pads) This is the culmination of our ongoing development of sintered metal technology with the Factory Yamaha teams for both sides of the Pond.  This formulation offers superb power and control with excellent thermal stability.  In addition, it features the introduction of our new and trademarked Array Cooling technology to reduce friction material smearing under severe thermal load conditions. Relatively high initial friction with powerful, but user-friendly torque characteristics that offer late braking consistency, lap after lap.  This compound also doubles as a superb performer for the demanding high performance canyon riders as well.
