The CHIEF DARK HORSE takes the N005: a 7.2 mm stack of ceramic-sintered material across 70.0 by 49.3 mm. In the N005 the mixture is ceramic-sintered EX Race, mixed for a flat curve rather than a sharp first bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a pack of two - the exact set the Nissin caliper of the CHIEF DARK HORSE takes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet in normal use and low on dust, so the CHIEF DARK HORSE does not pay for its brakes in wheel cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive rather than digital: on the Indian CHIEF DARK HORSE the first millimetre of lever travel produces the first millimetre of deceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads per pack, matched as a set for one Nissin caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent lever travel as the pad thins, so the bite point on the CHIEF DARK HORSE does not creep between services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZCOO specifies this reference for the Indian CHIEF DARK HORSE directly, not by cross-reference from a similar machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things define how a N005 behaves: the ceramic mixture and the plate under it. At 7.2 mm the N005 carries its ceramic layer on a plate cut to fill the Nissin caliper window exactly. Everything about the N005 plate is there to stop the friction face going out of true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween roughly zero and 600 degrees the N005 holds a near-constant friction coefficient. In exchange for a modest first bite the N005 gives the same bite on the tenth stop as on the first. It also keeps a set of CHIEF DARK HORSE discs alive through several pad changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment covers the Indian CHIEF DARK HORSE from 2015 to 2023 with the Nissin caliper. Front axle only; the N005 has no rear counterpart in the ZCOO programme. The same N005 shape covers 19 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. 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: Indian CHIEF DARK HORSE, 2015-2023\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":53637931368714,"sku":"Z-N005-EX","price":65.25,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/N005-produkt_a05cf57d-6ce2-4b9a-abfe-ba257137d8fa.png?v=1788777425","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ch\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-indian-chief-dark-horse","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
