What is the recommended speed for downhill bedding-in?
We recommend maintaining a speed of 15–25 km/h during the downhill bedding-in process. While speed is important, the key factor is applying the correct and consistent brake lever pressure. Riding too fast may overheat the braking system, while riding too slow may not allow the pads and rotors to reach the optimal temperature needed to form a proper transfer layer. A moderate speed combined with repeated light-to-moderate braking will ensure the process is even and effective.
