DescriptionThe whole story▼
Born from Brembo's involvement in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and World Superbike, the Z04 compound delivers race-day braking authority to every GSX-R 1000 rider chasing tenth-of-a-second gains at the limit. These pads hit maximum bite from the very first lap and hold that performance all the way to the wear limit — no fade, no compromise, no bedding-in required.
Key Features
- Race-derived Z04 compound developed directly through MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and SBK programmes for proven track performance.
- Exceptional high-temperature resistance maintains consistent braking power under the sustained thermal stress of circuit riding.
- Zero bedding-in period — full braking performance is available immediately out of the box, critical for track days and race weekends.
- Low wear rate ensures long service life even under aggressive, repeated hard braking.
- Precise, progressive feel across all braking situations, giving the rider reliable modulation from light trail braking to maximum deceleration.
- Exact fitment dimensions (102.2 mm × 41.7 mm × 7.9 mm) engineered for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 brake caliper.
Track Performance & Build Quality
The Z04 is Brembo's dedicated sintered racing compound, shaped by data gathered at the highest levels of motorcycle competition. The formulation prioritises initial bite and consistent torque output under repeated heavy braking — exactly the conditions a GSX-R 1000 generates lap after lap on circuit. Unlike many road-oriented compounds that begin to fade under sustained heat, the Z04 is engineered to operate at elevated temperatures, so braking distances stay predictable whether you are on your first flying lap or your twentieth.
The pad dimensions are precise to the tenth of a millimetre: 102.2 mm in length, 41.7 mm in height and 7.9 mm thick. Each set contains two pads to service one brake caliper, maintaining the caliper's original geometry and hydraulic balance.
Road & Dual-Use Suitability
Although the Z04 compound is unambiguously racing-focused, its immediate readiness and strong modulation make it a legitimate choice for road riders who demand the highest possible reserve of braking power. The compound performs across a wide temperature window, so it functions on the road even before the discs reach full operating temperature — a meaningful real-world advantage over pads designed exclusively for sustained circuit use.
Fitment & Compatibility
These Brembo Z04 pads are a direct-fit replacement for the following model:
