The CHIEF takes the N005: a 7.2 mm stack of ceramic-sintered material across 70.0 by 49.3 mm. On the CHIEF that shape comes in EX Race, the mixture ZCOO sells for road, trackday and club racing rather than for sprint distance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow noise and low rotor scoring, which on a CHIEF means the discs outlast several sets of pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZCOO specifies this reference for the Indian CHIEF directly, not by cross-reference from a similar machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResists glazing under sustained pressure, which is what ends most organic pads on a CHIEF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEX Race is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures, chosen for feel on a machine like the CHIEF rather than outright initial aggression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear indicator geometry unchanged from the standard Nissin pad, so the usual inspection still applies on the CHIEF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo bedding-in ritual: the N005 reaches its working friction level within the first few stops\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. The Nissin fitment sets the outline; everything behind the friction face of the N005 is ZCOO's own. Both details exist so the N005 keeps its pressure distribution honest as it wears down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitted to a CHIEF, EX Race changes how the brake behaves rather than how hard it stops. In exchange for a modest first bite the N005 gives the same bite on the tenth stop as on the first. On a CHIEF the front brake works hardest at the moments the rider least expects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the CHIEF of 2014 to 2023 the N005 is the shape ZCOO lists. ZCOO lists no rear pad for the CHIEF. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 70.0 mm length and 49.3 mm height. The same N005 shape covers 19 further machines in the 2026 catalogue.\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, 2014-2023\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":53637925961994,"sku":"Z-N005-EX","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/N005-produkt_df427e0c-25df-4ba2-9714-718d58b43cec.png?v=1788777411","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-iq\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-indian-chief","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
