Swiss Stop Disc 28 EXOTherm2 brake pads

SwissStop Exotherm disc pads with cooling fins and an aluminium backing plate, for optimum heat dissipation, minimal fading and maximum service life. The cooling fins reduce the temperature in the pistons, pads and discs, thereby minimising brake fade.

IMPORTANT: The brake pads must be bedded in to achieve optimum braking power and durability

Step 1: On a moderately steep descent, apply the front and rear brakes alternately for 20–30 seconds. Repeat
this process 2–3 times.

Step 2: On a steeper descent, let both brakes drag alternately for 10–15 seconds each, stopping the bike almost completely. Repeat
this process 2–3 times.

Pro tip: Break in the rear brake pads on the front wheel. Follow the procedure described above. Then fit the pads to the rear. On a flat surface, let them run briefly 2–3 times. Caution: Before replacing the pads, ensure they have cooled down sufficiently: risk of burns!
