What is the purpose of breaking in new disc pads?

The purpose of breaking in new disc pads, often referred to as bedding, is to establish an optimal transfer layer between the brake pads and the rotors. This process helps to enhance the pads' friction properties, ensuring better performance and longevity. Proper bedding also reduces the risk of brake noise and vibration, leading to smoother and more effective braking. Ultimately, it ensures that the braking system operates efficiently and safely.
