"Innovation, high performance and a low environmental impact" - these are the main features of the Eco-Friction line, according to Ferodo, the Italian brake pads manufacturer.
New to the Ferodo range for 2016, the newcomer to the FERODO motorcycle range, the Eco-Friction compound formulation is mainly for scooters and smaller displacement motorcycles. Low in heavy metals, the compound comes from a five year R&D fingerprinting process which analysed the raw materials contained in a wide range of standard brake pads.
Following this analysis, which covered over 1,500 different raw materials, suitable substitutes for the heavy metals were established and validated. The result of this extensive research and testing is that Eco-Friction brake pads "guarantee the same life and performance characteristics as conventional high quality pad formulations containing high percentages of heavy metals".
Also new for this year, the Ferodo sintered metal brake pads range for Maxi scooters covers the most popular models of new generation high-performance larger displacement scooters.
Disc friendly and long lasting, they have been specifically engineered "to satisfy the Maxi scooter rider’s needs, and these pads guarantee shorter braking distances with outstanding brake control, even in wet weather conditions".
