The N004 is ZCOO's shape for its Nissin monobloc caliper, and with a 55.3 mm friction height it is the tallest pad in the entire Nissin series - a large contact face on a machine light enough that the front tyre, not the brake, is usually the limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e55.3 mm friction height over a 75.0 mm length, 8.0 mm thick - the tallest of ZCOO's Nissin references\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-sintered EX Race compound with a linear force curve, so trail-braking stays controllable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFade-free operation past 600 degrees Celsius through a full session of late braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-block friction face spreads load evenly over the tall pad and vents heat between the blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms a ceramic film on the rotor rather than abrading it, unlike a conventional race sinter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pack covers one caliper; the ZX-6R runs two front discs, so a full change needs two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe construction is ZCOO's standard racing build: ceramic friction material sintered onto a laser-cut metal plate, joined with the bonding process Okada Corporation developed to stop the layer detaching when hot. On the N004 the height of the face means the pad sees a significant temperature gradient from the top edge to the bottom, which is exactly why the plate is cut from a stiff alloy rather than mild steel - a plate that distorts turns that gradient into uneven wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EX Race compound is ZCOO's sprint-race mixture, and a 636 on a trackday is its intended habitat. Its defining property is that braking force follows lever pressure almost linearly - the rider decides how much deceleration to apply rather than negotiating with the pad. That matters most in the phase where the brake is being released and the bike is going to full lean, where a pad with a non-linear release makes the front feel like it is letting go in steps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed by ZCOO for the Kawasaki ZX-6R 636 Ninja, with and without ABS, from 2013 through 2025 and 2026 respectively. The same N004 shape also covers the Honda CB1100 and CB1100EX. Front axle only.\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-N004-EX (EAN 4950545750075)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-N004C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 75.0 x 55.3 x 8.0 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: Kawasaki ZX-6R NINJA, 2013-2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents per pack: 1 set = 2 pads for one caliper; this machine needs two packs for the front axle\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":53637363138826,"sku":"Z-N004-EX","price":80.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/N004-produkt.png?v=1788768850","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-nl\/products\/zcoo-ex-race-front-brake-pads-kawasaki-zx-6r-636","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
