Yes, you should always bed-in new brake pads to ensure optimal performance. After installation, perform a series of controlled stops from moderate speed on a flat, safe surface to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor.

The steel backing plate and semi-metallic compound are built to handle the heat and stress of mountain biking. They provide reliable stopping power for both trail riding and road use, making them a solid all-around choice.

These pads are compatible with standard stainless steel rotors. If your current rotors are heavily worn or grooved, it is recommended to replace them when installing new pads to ensure even wear and maximum braking efficiency.
