100% Braking Performance from Kilometer One Thanks to Automated Bedding-In

True to our mission of providing the highest performance standards in the industry, the team at Cycles Dupuis is proud to announce the acquisition of the Sinter Smart Bedding Machine. This automated brake bedding service, still rare in Quebec, is a game-changer for both safety and riding enjoyment.

Why is brake bedding crucial? Any experienced cyclist knows that new brake pads should never be used at full capacity straight out of the box. To achieve powerful and quiet braking, a transfer of material must occur between the pad and the rotor: this is known as the "bedding-in" process.

Traditionally, this requires the rider to perform about twenty controlled, successive stops on a slope or flat ground. If done incorrectly, manual bedding can lead to:

  • Annoying squealing noises.

  • Uneven pad wear.

  • A loss of braking power of up to 30%.

Science at the service of your safety Thanks to Sinter Smart Bedding technology, we eliminate human error and guesswork. The machine applies constant pressure and speed, guaranteeing a perfect friction transfer in just a few minutes.

The benefits are immediate:

  • Maximum Power: Your bike brakes at 100% of its potential from the very first turn.

  • Absolute Silence: Automated bedding eliminates most of the vibrations responsible for brake noise.

  • Increased Durability: A perfectly uniform braking surface extends the life of your components.

Added Value by Cycles Dupuis We believe so strongly in this technology that we have integrated it into our standard service offering:

  • On all our new bikes: Every bike sold in-store will now go through the Sinter machine before being handed over to you. At no extra charge. You leave the shop with a race-ready bike.

  • During your maintenance: Changing your pads or rotors? For only $25 per brake, our technicians will provide professional bedding to guarantee optimal performance.

With the Sinter Smart Bedding Machine, we offer our customers the same level of preparation as Pro Tour mechanics. It’s a matter of performance, but above all, safety.
