They did improve my braking, when i brake now the bike dips down nicely on its suspension

I fitted the ferodo pads back and front to my 2017 Bullet and the improvement in braking capability is amazing.

Definite improvement. You're not going to do stoppies but a lot better.

Thanks for the feedback.Brake pads have been ordered from our hosts.

I have some fitted to the front of my Himalayan.

Cant say it is a huge improvement, better yes but not much better than the standard items, although they do seem better in the wet.

Same as this for them on my Himmy as well, better but still only adequate, a worthwhile change but don't expect a huge difference

Its crazy that other bikes I have had with the same twin pot disc brake would throw me over the handlebars if I pulled as hard on the brake lever as I do on the Enfield classic.It can only be the pads I am thinking.

Keep us posted on your findings please.

Could be other factors - size of master cylinder, diameter of pistons etc.
Frankly for a system supposedly manufactured by Brembo, they're adequate but no more.
I certainly can't think that the ABS will ever activate
