ZCOO answers with the T004, 71.5 by 50.0 mm of ceramic-sintered friction material cut for the Tokico caliper. EX Race is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures and the one that protects a GSX-S950 rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms a thin ceramic film on the rotor in use, so disc wear on the Suzuki GSX-S950 stays far below what a conventional sintered race pad causes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable friction from the first squeeze to the wear limit, so the GSX-S950 brakes the same on a cold morning and at the bottom of a pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEX Race is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures, chosen for feel on a machine like the GSX-S950 rather than outright initial aggression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe T004 is one of 16 shapes ZCOO builds; this is the one your Tokico caliper takes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pack holds the two pads for a single caliper - a GSX-S950 with twin front discs therefore needs two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ceramic layer is sintered to the plate rather than pressed against it, which is what keeps the T004 together at the top of its temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe T004 is made by Okada Corporation in Japan. Nothing about the T004 is stamped: the plate is cut, the ceramic is sintered on, and the bond is made under pressure. That is why the T004 holds a consistent contact patch deep into its service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing dramatic about the first squeeze of an EX Race T004, and that is deliberate. The harder EXC Endurance mixture bit sooner and lasted longer, but asked considerably more of a GSX-S950 disc than the T004 in EX Race does. A grabby pad on a short-wheelbase GSX-S950 is not merely uncomfortable - it is destabilising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the Suzuki GSX-S950, 2022 to 2026, on the Tokico fitment. 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.\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-T004-EX (EAN 4950545750167)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-T004C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 71.5 x 50.0 x 8.5 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Tokico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Suzuki GSX-S950, 2022-2026\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":53638616187146,"sku":"Z-T004-EX","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/T004-produkt_a0f3053b-945a-4155-b7ea-6e51d5d5e049.png?v=1788779763","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-na\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-suzuki-gsx-s950","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
