DescriptionThe whole story

The Ninja 400 is the machine a generation of riders learns circuit craft on, and it does the job with a single front disc. That makes the front brake the busiest single component on the bike and the first thing a rider outgrows. The N011 is ZCOO's reference for its Nissin caliper - and it is one of the few in the range where the two pads in a pack are deliberately different sizes, 96.7 mm and 77.0 mm.

Key Features

  • A pack holds two differently sized pads: ZRM-N011ZM-B at 96.7 mm and ZRM-N011ZM-A at 77.0 mm, both 42.0 mm tall and 7.5 mm thick
  • The Ninja 400 has a single front disc, so one pack covers the complete front brake - no second pack needed
  • Ceramic-sintered EX Race compound holds a constant friction level from cold through 600 degrees Celsius
  • Proportional lever response, which is what a rider learning brake markers actually needs from an upgrade
  • Notably gentle on the rotor - relevant when a single disc absorbs all of the braking heat
  • Laser-cut backing plates keep both pieces flat under load despite the slim 7.5 mm section

Construction and Material Quality

A single-disc front end concentrates every joule of braking energy into one rotor and one caliper, so the pad has nowhere to send the heat. ZCOO sinters the ceramic friction material onto laser-cut alloy plates and bonds the two with the joining process Okada Corporation developed for its racing references. The asymmetric pair is not a packaging quirk: the caliper's two sides see different pressure, and the shapes are cut to suit.

Performance and Feel

On a 400 the standard organic pad is adequate for road use and runs out of ideas after three or four laps. What the EX Race compound provides is not more peak force - the tyre sets that limit long before the pad does - but a friction level that does not decay. For a rider working on braking technique that is the whole point: a marker that means the same thing on lap eight as on lap one. The compound also protects the single rotor, which on this bike is the expensive part.

Fitment and Compatibility

Listed by ZCOO for the Kawasaki Ninja 400 including the KRT and SE versions, 2018 through 2023. The same N011 shape also covers the Ninja 250, the Z300 and the W230. Front axle only.

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.
