The invention relates to a brake pad with a chamfered lining. The aim of the invention is to improve the run-in behaviour of this type of brake pad, so that the desired lining surface is obtained after only a few braking operations. In principle, when a newly installed brake pad is run-in, only a relatively small part of the lining is abraded so that a lining which is applied uniformly to the brake disk at the correct angle is obtained in minimum time. The invention involves by the use of a chamfer with a hyperbolic contour, the wear height of the individual braking operations exhibiting a sharp degressive decrease during consecutive braking operations.
