DescriptionThe whole story

Long-distance riding turns brake consistency into a comfort feature. The B005 is ZCOO's shape for the Brembo caliper of the Triumph TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER, 102.2 mm long and 8.05 mm thick. The B005 in EXR is the harder of the two mixtures ZCOO currently lists for the TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER.

Key Features

  • Runs cooler at the disc than a conventional sinter, because the ceramic film it forms carries part of the load on the TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER
  • The ceramic layer is sintered to the plate rather than pressed against it, which is what keeps the B005 together at the top of its temperature range
  • Up to 20 percent more braking force in the second phase of braking, where the pad on a TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER has already taken on most of its heat
  • Holds its friction level through the heat cycles a TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER front end goes through in a single hard ride
  • 102.2 by 42.0 mm friction face at 8.05 mm total thickness, cut for the Brembo caliper of the Triumph TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER
  • Rotor-friendly by formulation: the TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER discs see a ceramic film rather than an abrasive

Construction and Material Quality

Look behind the friction face of the B005 and the engineering is all about stiffness. At 8.05 mm the B005 carries its ceramic layer on a plate cut to fill the Brembo caliper window exactly. Everything about the B005 plate is there to stop the friction face going out of true.

Performance and Feel

EXR was mixed for riders who found EX Race short on authority on a machine like the Triumph TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER. Better cold performance was the other half of the change, and on a TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER used on the road that matters more than the extra force. With a passenger aboard the Triumph TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER, predictable is worth more than powerful.

Fitment and Compatibility

For the TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER of 2022 to 2023 the B005 is the shape ZCOO lists. The same B005 shape covers 117 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Nothing in the ZCOO range fits the rear axle of the TIGER 1200 GT EXPLORER. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 102.2 mm length and 42.0 mm height.

Road Approval

No 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.
