DescriptionThe whole story

Weight transfer is the whole story on a machine like the Kawasaki Z500. ZCOO cuts the N011 at 96.7 by 42.0 mm to fill the Nissin caliper window of the Z500. The compound is EX Race, which on the Kawasaki Z500 builds force with the lever instead of ahead of it.

Key Features

  • Supplied as a pack of two - the exact set the Nissin caliper of the Z500 takes
  • Ceramic sintering rather than a resin binder, so there is nothing in the N011 to cook out at the top of the range
  • Backed by the ZCOO 2026 catalogue listing for the Kawasaki Z500, 2024 to 2026
  • ZCOO specifies this reference for the Kawasaki Z500 directly, not by cross-reference from a similar machine
  • Heat spreads across the whole 96.7 by 42.0 mm face instead of concentrating at the leading edge
  • A pad geometry drawn for this caliper family rather than shared across three of them, which is why the N011 fills its window

Construction and Material Quality

There is nothing improvised about how a N011 is put together. Bonding, not gluing: the ceramic layer of the N011 is fused to the plate under pressure. None of it is visible once the N011 is in the Nissin caliper, which is precisely the point.

Performance and Feel

There is nothing dramatic about the first squeeze of an EX Race N011, and that is deliberate. Across 3 model years of the Z500 the behaviour is the same, because the compound is. With no fairing to lean into, the Z500 rider needs the N011 to be predictable above all.

Fitment and Compatibility

The N011 is ZCOO's listed reference for the Kawasaki Z500 between 2024 and 2026. The same N011 shape covers 13 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 96.7 mm length and 42.0 mm height. Front axle exclusively - there is no rear N011.

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.
