The new FERODO range for bicycles and e-bikes includes:

FERODO Mid-Metallic Brake Pads

developed for universal use

FERODO e-bike centre metal brake pads

 

with an advanced friction compound designed for peak performance and excellent pad and disc life for all types of e-bike riding

FERODO brak discs

 

made of high-carbon steel are available for all pad types. Available in centre-lock and one-piece versions.

FERODO DOT5.1 and Racing Brake Fluids

First-class brake fluid recommended for racing use with exceptionally high wet and dry boiling points

The history of the brand

Founded by Herbert Frood in 1897.

It was the first company in the world completely dedicated to the design and production of friction materials especially for brakes.

From that moment the era of industrial friction materials began in Chapel-en le Frith, on the suborbs of Manchester, England, the self-taught technician.
Herbert Frood founded the Herbert Frood Company and began experimenting with braking methods for motor vehicles based on sliding friction.

The name of the company comes from the anagram, with the addition of an « e », of the surname of its founder.

At the time, braking systems were made with shoes operated by levers or cranks that tightened wooden logs on the wheels causing a slowdown of the vehicle, but the disadvantages of the method were obvious: the wear of the wheel material, as well as the low braking capacity of the wood logs, among other things excessively sensitive to weather conditions.

Ferodo® is the premium braking brand and one of the global leaders in both Original Equipment and the Aftermarket. The brand has excelled for over 100 years in leading technical innovation.
Today, Ferodo® is synonymous with excellence and a continued commitment to developing braking solutions for the future, no matter whether you’re riding, driving or racing!

FERODO Racing & Motorcycle division is specialized in the production of braking parts for racing, high-performance road cars, motorcycles and now in the bicycles.
Innovative friction materials are continually developed by the company’s specialists at its Mondovì base (Italy) where a prototype and pilot production plant can be found along with 6 dynamometers for product validation and refinement.
All Ferodo brake pads are manufactured to the highest international ISO quality standards and are engineered to perform with a relatively constant coefficient of friction across a wide range of temperatures, pressures and vehicle speeds, optimizing both pad and disc life.
The Ferodo bicyle brake pad range is complemented with brake discs and brake fluids.
