DescriptionThe whole story

A 215 kg retro with a 948 cc four gets through brake pads, and the owner of a Z900RS has a second concern most riders do not: the front discs are part of how the bike looks. That combination used to force a choice between a long-lasting pad and a kind one. EXR, which replaces EXC Endurance from 2026, is ZCOO's attempt to stop making people choose - EXC-order durability with a compound reworked for progression rather than raw attack.

Key Features

  • Durability equal to or better than the EXC Endurance compound it replaces, which already lasted around twice as long as EX Race
  • Up to 20 percent more braking force in the second phase of braking - the part of a long descent where a heavy bike keeps asking
  • Progressive build-up behind an EXC-order initial bite, so a 215 kg machine does not snatch at walking pace
  • Better cold performance and greater stability at high temperature than the outgoing compound
  • New backing plate alloy - relevant under a four-piston Tokico that spreads with sustained pressure
  • Same T004 shape as the EX Race version, 71.5 by 50.0 mm at 8.5 mm; one pack per caliper, two for the Z900RS

Construction and Material Quality

The change from EXC to EXR is not only in the friction mixture. ZCOO specified a new backing plate alloy for the compound, and on a bike that generates long, sustained braking events rather than short violent ones, plate stiffness is what keeps the contact patch honest. The friction material stays ceramic-sintered and Japanese-made; the T004 geometry is identical to the EX Race pad, so fitting is unchanged.

Performance and Feel

For a Z900RS the interesting number is not peak force but how often the pads need changing and what they cost the discs while they do it. EXR is rated at or above EXC durability, and ZCOO's ceramic mixtures form a protective film on the rotor rather than abrading it. The twenty percent gain in the second phase of braking is the bonus rather than the point: it shows up at the bottom of a pass, when a heavy bike has been on the brake for two kilometres and the rider wants more.

Fitment and Compatibility

Listed by ZCOO for the Kawasaki Z900RS from 2018 through 2026. The same T004 shape covers the Z900RS Cafe, the Z1000SX, the Ninja 1000SX and several Suzuki V-Strom models. Front axle only. EXR became available at the start of September 2026 and no manufacturer data sheet has been published beyond the points listed here.

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.
