ZCOO covers the Yamaha R9 with the B005, a 102.2 by 42.0 mm face carried on 8.05 mm of total section. In the B005 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\u003eRotor-friendly by formulation: the R9 discs see a ceramic film rather than an abrasive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo ECE R90 type approval is documented for this compound - treat the B005 as a track and competition part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe friction material and the B005 plate are made in the same Japanese plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for the braking energy a 890 cc machine generates, not scaled down from a larger reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Brembo caliper spreads under peak pressure; the B005 plate is cut stiff enough to keep the friction face flat while it does\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet in normal use and low on dust, so the R9 does not pay for its brakes in wheel cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook behind the friction face of the B005 and the engineering is all about stiffness. Heat enters a B005 at the friction face and has to leave through the plate, which is why the alloy matters as much as the mixture. It is also why ZCOO can quote fade resistance beyond 600 degrees for the B005 without qualifying it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEX Race is the control-oriented of ZCOO's two ceramic compounds, and on the Yamaha R9 that is the point. The lever pressure needed for a given deceleration barely moves as heat builds through a session on the R9. Over a session on the Yamaha R9 that consistency is worth more than any single hard stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 listing puts the B005 on the Yamaha R9 for the 2025 to 2026 model years. The same B005 shape covers 117 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Front axle only. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 102.2 mm length and 42.0 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-B005-EX (EAN 4950545767882)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-B005C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 102.2 x 42.0 x 8.05 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Brembo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Yamaha R9, 2025-2026\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":53638688145674,"sku":"Z-B005-EX","price":616.0,"currency_code":"GTQ","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/B005-produkt_6ee1cfe8-86e7-401b-b0c8-567edb79ff0b.png?v=1788781149","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-gt\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-yamaha-r9","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
