Trail-braking a 1,103 cc V4 from top speed into a second-gear corner asks the pad to hold a stable friction level while the disc glows, and to give the rider a lever that still says something at the end of a twenty-minute session. The ZCOO B005 in EX Race compound is built for exactly that window: a ceramic-sintered mixture whose braking force rises in proportion to lever pressure rather than snapping in, carried on the largest backing plate in the ZCOO range at 102.2 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the Brembo monobloc caliper of the Panigale V4 without shims or spacers - 102.2 x 42.0 mm friction face, 8.05 mm total thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-sintered EX Race compound: force builds proportionally with lever pressure, so the release point into the apex stays readable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnti-fade behaviour is maintained beyond 600 degrees Celsius, the range a V4 front end reaches during repeated hard braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-cut, dimensionally stable backing plate resists deformation when the caliper spreads under peak pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeliberately gentle on the rotor - a Panigale front disc costs a multiple of a pad set, and the EX compound is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pack covers one caliper; the Panigale V4 has two front discs, so a complete front-axle change takes two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eZCOO pads are made by Okada Corporation in Japan. The friction material is sintered onto a laser-cut metal backing plate using a bonding process developed to remove the two classic weaknesses of sintered pads: fade at the top of the temperature range and separation of the friction layer from the plate. On the B005 the plate carries the friction material across a single long face rather than several small pucks, which spreads the heat entering the pad over a wider area and keeps the pressure distribution against the disc more even as the material wears down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the EX Race compound earns its place on a Panigale is the second half of a session. A pad that bites hard when cold and then goes wooden forces the rider to move the braking marker earlier lap after lap. The EX mixture is formulated for a flat friction curve instead: the initial bite is deliberately not the most aggressive in the ZCOO range, and in exchange the lever pressure needed for a given deceleration barely moves as heat builds. ZCOO also forms a thin ceramic layer on the rotor surface in use, which is why the compound wears discs noticeably less than a conventional sintered race pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed by ZCOO for the Ducati Panigale V4 from model year 2018 through 2024 with the 1,103 cc engine. The B005 shape is specific to the Brembo monobloc caliper family; before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 102.2 mm length and 42.0 mm height. Front axle only - ZCOO does not list a rear pad under this reference.\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-B005-EX (EAN 4950545767882)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-B005C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 102.2 x 42.0 x 8.05 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Brembo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Ducati Panigale V4, 2018-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents per pack: 1 set = 2 pads for one caliper; this machine needs two packs for the front axle\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":53637361434890,"sku":"Z-B005-EX","price":161.0,"currency_code":"BBD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/B005-produkt.png?v=1788768771","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-bb\/products\/zcoo-ex-race-front-brake-pads-ducati-panigale-v4","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
