The reference is the S001 - 50.5 mm of friction height over 69.5 mm of length, on the Sumitomo fitment the R6 uses. EX Race is ZCOO's everyday racing compound, and on an R6 it is unusually kind to the discs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEX Race is the softer of ZCOO's two ceramic mixtures, chosen for feel on a machine like the R6 rather than outright initial aggression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFade-free past 600 degrees Celsius, the range a hard-worked R6 front end reaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow noise and low rotor scoring, which on an R6 means the discs outlast several sets of pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo bedding-in ritual: the S001 reaches its working friction level within the first few stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin Japan; ZCOO does not source its friction material outside its own plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by the ZCOO 2026 catalogue listing for the Yamaha R6, 2003 to 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S001 is made by Okada Corporation in Japan. The S001 plate is cut to the Sumitomo window rather than trimmed down from a larger blank. Together they remove the two things that normally end a sintered pad, and the S001 is built against both: fade at the top of the range, and the friction layer lifting away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn an R6 the second half of a session is where EX Race earns its price. The compound lays a thin ceramic film on the rotor as it beds, which is why the Yamaha R6 sees far less disc wear than a conventional sinter would cause. On the R6 it means the fifteenth lap can be braked like the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eZCOO's 2026 catalogue lists this reference for the Yamaha R6 across 24 model years (2003 to 2026). Before ordering, check that your caliper takes a pad of 69.5 mm length and 50.5 mm height. The same S001 shape covers 27 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. The reference is a front pad; ZCOO lists no rear equivalent.\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-S001-EX (EAN 4950545750129)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad code: ZRM-S001C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZCOO EX Race - ceramic-sintered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad dimensions: 69.5 x 50.5 x 8.8 mm (L x H x thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaliper family: Sumitomo (Yamaha)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front axle only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Yamaha R6, 2003-2026\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":53638687719690,"sku":"Z-S001-EX","price":294.0,"currency_code":"QAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/S001-produkt_99b081ef-6629-4e61-9b78-65278cc4112c.png?v=1788781135","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-qa\/products\/zcoo-ex-front-brake-pads-yamaha-r6","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
