ZCOO's answer is the B005 - the longest pad ZCOO builds - filling the Brembo caliper of the R9. The B005 in EXR is the harder of the two mixtures ZCOO currently lists for the R9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive rather than digital: on the Yamaha R9 the first millimetre of lever travel produces the first millimetre of deceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-cut backing plate holds the friction face flat when the Brembo caliper spreads under peak line pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for the standard Brembo pad on the Yamaha R9 - no shims, no spacers, no modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear indicator geometry unchanged from the standard Brembo pad, so the usual inspection still applies on the R9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZCOO specifies this reference for the Yamaha R9 directly, not by cross-reference from a similar machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ceramic layer is sintered to the plate rather than pressed against it, which is what keeps the B005 together at the top of its temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sits behind the friction material on a B005 matters as much as the mixture itself. Nothing about the B005 is stamped: the plate is cut, the ceramic is sintered on, and the bond is made under pressure. Everything about the B005 plate is there to stop the friction face going out of true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two ways to make a pad stronger, and on the B005 ZCOO used both. That is the part of the zone where the pad has already absorbed most of its heat and the rider is still adjusting. On a machine ridden as hard as the R9, a pad whose behaviour does not drift is worth more than one that is briefly stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed by ZCOO for the Yamaha R9, model years 2025 to 2026, on the Brembo caliper. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 102.2 mm length and 42.0 mm height. The B005 is a front pad only. The same B005 shape covers 117 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-B005-EXR (EAN 4950545771773)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-B005C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EXR - ceramic-sintered, successor to EXC Endurance\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":53638688997642,"sku":"Z-B005-EXR","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/B005-produkt_28f6c94e-9d3c-47c8-9e1b-9d633787c797.png?v=1788781156","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-mc\/products\/zcoo-exr-front-brake-pads-yamaha-r9","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
