ZCOO cuts the N005 at 70.0 by 49.3 mm to fill the Nissin caliper window of the Z800. The N005 carries EX Race, the control-oriented of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor-friendly by formulation: the Z800 discs see a ceramic film rather than an abrasive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent friction from the first lap to the wear limit, so the braking marker set on a cold Z800 still means the same thing when it is hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe friction blocks are separated so the N005 material can expand into the gaps rather than against itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nissin caliper spreads under peak pressure; the N005 plate is cut stiff enough to keep the friction face flat while it does\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e70.0 by 49.3 mm friction face at 7.2 mm total thickness, cut for the Nissin caliper of the Kawasaki Z800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-sintered EX Race compound: on the Z800 the braking force rises in proportion to lever pressure instead of snapping in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufacture is Japanese and unchanged across the range, the N005 included. Heat enters a N005 at the friction face and has to leave through the plate, which is why the alloy matters as much as the mixture. On the Z800 that translates into a lever position which does not creep as the pad thins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe defining property of the EX Race mixture in the N005 is a flat friction curve. The compound lays a thin ceramic film on the rotor as it beds, which is why the Kawasaki Z800 sees far less disc wear than a conventional sinter would cause. On an unfaired machine like the Kawasaki Z800 that is a control argument, not a comfort one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eZCOO's fitment data gives the N005 for the Z800 built between 2013 and 2016. The same N005 shape covers 19 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Front axle only. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 70.0 mm length and 49.3 mm height.\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-N005-EX (EAN 4950545750082)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-N005C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 70.0 x 49.3 x 7.2 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: Kawasaki Z800, 2013-2016\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":53638265569546,"sku":"Z-N005-EX","price":80.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/N005-produkt_f21aedc5-3a5a-4091-ad54-804546017948.png?v=1788778315","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-be\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-kawasaki-z800","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
