DescriptionThe whole story

On the Kawasaki Z1000 the rider fights the wind as well as the bike under braking. ZCOO answers with the T004, 71.5 by 50.0 mm of ceramic-sintered friction material cut for the Tokico caliper. In EX Race form it is the compound a Z1000 rider can use from the first cold stop of the day.

Key Features

  • Even pressure distribution across the 71.5 by 50.0 mm face from new to the wear limit
  • Country of origin Japan; ZCOO does not source its friction material outside its own plant
  • Developed on the same ceramic platform ZCOO supplies to endurance teams at Suzuka and the Bol d'Or
  • One pack holds the two pads for a single caliper - a Z1000 with twin front discs therefore needs two packs
  • Consistent lever travel as the pad thins, so the bite point on the Z1000 does not creep between services
  • Consistent friction from the first lap to the wear limit, so the braking marker set on a cold Z1000 still means the same thing when it is hot

Construction and Material Quality

There is nothing improvised about how a T004 is put together. At 8.5 mm the T004 carries its ceramic layer on a plate cut to fill the Tokico caliper window exactly. The effect is a T004 that presents the same geometry to the disc near the wear limit as it did new.

Performance and Feel

EX Race is the control-oriented of ZCOO's two ceramic compounds, and on the Kawasaki Z1000 that is the point. The harder EXC Endurance mixture bit sooner and lasted longer, but asked considerably more of a Z1000 disc than the T004 in EX Race does. With no fairing to lean into, the Z1000 rider needs the T004 to be predictable above all.

Fitment and Compatibility

The 2026 listing puts the T004 on the Kawasaki Z1000 for the 2010 to 2022 model years. The same T004 shape covers 18 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Front axle only. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 71.5 mm length and 50.0 mm height.

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.
