The T004 is ZCOO's shape for the Tokico four-piston caliper Kawasaki fits, and the EX Race compound was chosen for the trait that matters most on a heavy naked: the lever tells the same story at the end of a long descent as it did at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e71.5 x 50.0 mm friction face, 8.5 mm thick, cut for the Tokico four-piston caliper of the Z900RS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-sintered EX Race compound with proportional response - no snatch when the front is already loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds its friction level beyond 600 degrees Celsius, the range a 215 kg naked reaches on a sustained descent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarkedly kinder to the rotor than a standard sintered pad, which keeps the Z900RS's visible front discs looking right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-cut backing plate stays flat under caliper spread, preserving even pad contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pack per caliper; the Z900RS has twin front discs, so plan for two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eZCOO sinters the ceramic friction material onto a laser-cut alloy plate in Japan. The plate material and the bonding method are the two places where sintered pads usually fail - either the plate bows under pressure and the pad contacts the disc unevenly, or the friction layer lifts at temperature. The T004 uses the same construction as ZCOO's racing references, with the friction face divided into two broad blocks that sit either side of the caliper bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EX Race mixture is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic compounds and deliberately so. The harder EXC Endurance version bites harder from the first millimetre of lever travel and lasts roughly twice as long on wave rotors, but it also asks more of the disc. On a Z900RS, where the front discs are part of the bike's look and a set costs several times a pad pack, the softer compound is the better trade. What the rider notices is a brake that is easy to meter at walking pace and still there at the bottom of a pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed 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.\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-T004-EX (EAN 4950545750167)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-T004C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 71.5 x 50.0 x 8.5 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Tokico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Kawasaki Z900RS, 2018-2026\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":53637361828106,"sku":"Z-T004-EX","price":13002.0,"currency_code":"ETB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/T004-produkt.png?v=1788768803","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-et\/products\/zcoo-ex-race-front-brake-pads-kawasaki-z900rs","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
