BRAKE BEDDING PROCEDURES
Your Ariel Atom 2 will be delivered with set-up, testing, and checks already completed by the factory; however,
the braking system will still need to be completely bedded-in before any high speed or very hard deceleration is
attempted. Refer to the following schedule for brake bed-in procedures.
The first 10 miles (16 km): Light braking from 50–60 MPH (80-96 km/h) down to 30 MPH (48 km/h). Perform
this protocol for five iterations allowing time for the brakes to cool between iterations. Avoid any high speed
stops down to zero. Braking from high speeds heats the disc surface while the interior remains cool and
contributes to warping before the brakes are fully bedded.
The first 10-100 miles (16-160 km): Increase braking pressure from about 60 MPH (96 km/h) to zero.
Observe for the area around the mounting bolts to turn light blue. This coloration indicates correct heat soak is
being achieved. Avoid full stops from 70 plus MPH (112 km/h).
The first 100-200 miles (160-322 km):
Gradually increase brake pressure coming to full stops more rapidly
than during the previous step. After this point, full braking from speed should be possible without warping the
discs or experiencing unusual vibration.
For track day use:
▪
Warm, but do not overheat, the brakes during the warm up lap(s).
▪
Allow the brakes to cool during a “cool down” lap at the end of the session.
▪
Do not leave your foot on the brake after stopping in the paddock area following braking from high speeds.
This action would create a “hot spot” and contribute to warping the rotors.
NOTE: To avoid warping, avoid excessive or uneven heating of the rotors.
