DescriptionThe whole story

An adventure machine's brakes work in conditions a circuit never sees. The shape is the B005, the longest pad ZCOO builds, at 102.2 by 42.0 mm and 8.05 mm thick. The B005 carries EX Race, the control-oriented of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures.

Key Features

  • The B005 is the longest pad ZCOO builds: 102.2 mm by 42.0 mm, 8.05 mm deep
  • Forms a thin ceramic film on the rotor in use, so disc wear on the Ducati DESERT X stays far below what a conventional sintered race pad causes
  • Machined, not moulded: the B005 plate is cut to the Brembo outline rather than pressed to an approximate one
  • 102.2 by 42.0 mm friction face at 8.05 mm total thickness, cut for the Brembo caliper of the Ducati DESERT X
  • Tested and specified for the 2023 to 2026 model years of the Ducati DESERT X, not extrapolated from a neighbouring year
  • Backed by the ZCOO 2026 catalogue listing for the Ducati DESERT X, 2023 to 2026

Construction and Material Quality

The B005 is a racing part in the way it is made, not only in the way it is sold. A Brembo caliper spreads under peak line pressure, and a plate that yields with it moves the contact patch onto the pad's edges. None of it is visible once the B005 is in the Brembo caliper, which is precisely the point.

Performance and Feel

What the B005 in EX Race buys is predictability, not a headline figure. It works from cold without a warm-up lap and does not turn grabby once the B005 is hot. Two up and loaded, the Ducati DESERT X needs a pad that does not soften halfway down.

Fitment and Compatibility

For the DESERT X of 2023 to 2026 the B005 is the shape ZCOO lists. The B005 fits the front axle of the DESERT X and nothing else. The same B005 shape covers 117 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 102.2 mm length and 42.0 mm height.

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.
