Zusammenfassung:A brake pad 103 comprises a back plate 107 and a brake pad lining 109 for engaging a brake rotor (R, figs 1a-c). At least one aperture 123A-F is formed in the brake pad lining 109 to control heat generation during braking. The at least one hole 123A-F is inset from an exterior edge 113, 115, 117 of the brake pad lining 109, and may be drilled or moulded into the pad lining 109. The apertures 123A-F may extend partially or completely through the lining 109. The apertures 123A-F are preferably proximal to and inset from an outer radial edge 115 of the brake pad lining 109, and arranged along a circular arc 125 having a centre that, in use, aligns with the centre of the brake rotor (R, figs 1a-c).
