DescriptionThe whole story▼
On an unfaired machine like the Suzuki GSX-S1000 KATANA the rider's own body is part of the braking load. The B005 is ZCOO's shape for the Brembo caliper of the Suzuki GSX-S1000 KATANA, 102.2 mm long and 8.05 mm thick. The mixture in this B005 is EXR: up to twenty percent more force in the second phase of braking.
Key Features
- Resists glazing under sustained pressure, which is what ends most organic pads on a GSX-S1000 KATANA
- Supplied as a pack of two - the exact set the Brembo caliper of the GSX-S1000 KATANA takes
- Holds its friction level through the heat cycles a GSX-S1000 KATANA front end goes through in a single hard ride
- The friction material and the B005 plate are made in the same Japanese plant
- Low noise and low rotor scoring, which on a GSX-S1000 KATANA means the discs outlast several sets of pads
- New backing plate alloy, specified with the compound instead of carried over from the EXC Endurance mixture EXR replaces
Construction and Material Quality
The B005 is a racing part in the way it is made, not only in the way it is sold. A Brembo caliper spreads under peak line pressure, and a plate that yields with it moves the contact patch onto the pad's edges. On the GSX-S1000 KATANA that translates into a lever position which does not creep as the pad thins.
Performance and Feel
EXR exists because EXC Endurance was strong and hard to meter on a machine like the Suzuki GSX-S1000 KATANA. The reworked progression is what keeps the additional force usable at full lean. For a GSX-S1000 KATANA that is the difference between a hard stop and a fright.
Fitment and Compatibility
This reference is catalogued for the Brembo-equipped Suzuki GSX-S1000 KATANA, 2019 to 2026. ZCOO lists no rear pad for the GSX-S1000 KATANA. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 102.2 mm length and 42.0 mm height. The same B005 shape covers 117 further machines in the 2026 catalogue.
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.
