That work falls to the N004 - 75.0 by 55.3 mm of ceramic sinter on a laser-cut plate. In EX Race form it is the compound a GL1800 VALKYRIE rider can use from the first cold stop of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear stays even across the 75.0 mm of friction face rather than concentrating at the leading edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads per pack, matched as a set for one Nissin caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear indicator geometry unchanged from the standard Nissin pad, so the usual inspection still applies on the GL1800 VALKYRIE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ceramic layer is sintered to the plate rather than pressed against it, which is what keeps the N004 together at the top of its temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined, not moulded: the N004 plate is cut to the Nissin outline rather than pressed to an approximate one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms a thin ceramic film on the rotor in use, so disc wear on the Honda GL1800 VALKYRIE stays far below what a conventional sintered race pad causes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe N004 is a racing part in the way it is made, not only in the way it is sold. Bonding, not gluing: the ceramic layer of the N004 is fused to the plate under pressure. Everything about the N004 plate is there to stop the friction face going out of true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEX Race trades a little initial aggression for a friction level that does not move on the Honda GL1800 VALKYRIE. The harder EXC Endurance mixture bit sooner and lasted longer, but asked considerably more of a GL1800 VALKYRIE disc than the N004 in EX Race does. On an unfaired machine like the Honda GL1800 VALKYRIE that is a control argument, not a comfort one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment covers the Honda GL1800 VALKYRIE from 2014 to 2015 with the Nissin caliper. The same N004 shape covers 12 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 75.0 mm length and 55.3 mm height. Front axle exclusively - there is no rear N004.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo ECE R90 type approval is documented for this pad. It appears neither in ZCOO's own catalogue nor on the European distributor's site, and no approval number is printed on the packaging data available to us. ZCOO itself describes the compound as suited to competition machines and road machines alike, but that is a description of the mixture, not a type approval. Until the distributor confirms an approval in writing, treat this as a track and competition part: in Germany a replacement brake pad without ECE R90 approval may not be fitted to a motorcycle used on public roads. Ask us before ordering if you need this clarified for your machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: Z-N004-EX (EAN 4950545750075)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-N004C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 75.0 x 55.3 x 8.0 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Nissin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Honda GL1800 VALKYRIE, 2014-2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents per pack: 1 set = 2 pads for one caliper; a machine with twin front discs needs two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad approval: No ECE R90 type approval documented - track and competition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: Okada Corporation, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ZCOO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53637902139658,"sku":"Z-N004-EX","price":29400.0,"currency_code":"AMD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/N004-produkt_3fbff5dd-4724-442e-beb0-0e804cc5d5c9.png?v=1788777100","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-am\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-honda-gl1800-valkyrie","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
