DescriptionThe whole story

Low-speed modulation is what a rider notices on the Indian CHIEF. 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.

Key Features

  • Low noise and low rotor scoring, which on a CHIEF means the discs outlast several sets of pads
  • ZCOO specifies this reference for the Indian CHIEF directly, not by cross-reference from a similar machine
  • Resists glazing under sustained pressure, which is what ends most organic pads on a CHIEF
  • EX Race is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures, chosen for feel on a machine like the CHIEF rather than outright initial aggression
  • Wear indicator geometry unchanged from the standard Nissin pad, so the usual inspection still applies on the CHIEF
  • No bedding-in ritual: the N005 reaches its working friction level within the first few stops

Construction and Material Quality

Two 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.

Performance and Feel

Fitted 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.

Fitment and Compatibility

For 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.

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.
