DescriptionThe whole story▼
Derived directly from MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and SBK competition, the Brembo Z04 Racing brake pads bring genuine top-tier stopping power to everyday riding without asking you to compromise on road manners or longevity. Whether you are threading through traffic or pushing hard on a Sunday blast, Z04 compound delivers consistent, progressive feel right from the first application — no bedding-in required.
Key Features
- Zero bedding-in period — full braking performance is available the moment the pads are fitted, so you can ride confidently from the very first stop.
- Exceptional modulation — precise, progressive bite in every riding situation, from light traffic braking to hard late-braking on track.
- High-temperature resistance — compound derived from Brembo's MotoGP programme maintains reliable performance under sustained thermal load.
- Low wear rate — the Z04 compound holds its performance characteristics all the way to the wear limit, keeping replacement intervals long and running costs predictable.
- Direct Brembo fitment — engineered specifically for Brembo M4 Monoblock, M50 Monoblock and GP4-RX racing calipers, ensuring a perfect seat and even pressure distribution.
Technology Behind the Compound
The Z04 compound is Brembo's most advanced sintered racing formulation for production-based calipers. Its development programme runs in parallel with the pads supplied to factory MotoGP and Superbike World Championship teams, meaning the metallurgical advances made at race weekends filter directly into the street and track product you fit at home. The result is a pad that resists fade under repeated hard stops, recovers quickly between corners and never leaves you hunting for feel at the lever.
Everyday Usability
Unlike some pure race compounds that demand high rotor temperatures before they work, the Z04 delivers strong initial bite even when the brakes are cold. This makes it a genuinely practical choice for riders who want race-grade security on the morning commute or the occasional track day, without carrying a second set of pads for each environment. The low dust output also helps keep wheels cleaner than many competing sintered compounds.
Fitment and Compatibility
These pads are designed and tested for the following Brembo racing calipers:
- Brembo M4 Monoblock racing caliper
- Brembo M50 Monoblock racing caliper
- Brembo GP4-RX racing caliper
Any motorcycle equipped with one of the above calipers is compatible. If you are unsure which caliper is fitted to your machine, check the casting mark on the caliper body or refer to your workshop manual before ordering.
Scope of Delivery
Each pack contains two brake pads, sufficient to service one caliper. Order two packs if you are replacing pads on both front calipers simultaneously.
