The S001 is ZCOO's shape for the Yamaha-fitted Sumitomo caliper, and at 8.8 mm it is the thickest pad in the entire ZCOO catalogue - more friction material per pack than any other reference, which matters on a naked bike that spends its life in traffic and on back roads rather than on a circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.8 mm total thickness - the deepest friction stack ZCOO builds, so more material before the wear limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e69.5 x 50.5 mm friction face, matched to the Sumitomo caliper Yamaha fits to the MT-09\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic-sintered EX Race compound: braking force proportional to lever pressure, with no sharp initial grab in town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFade-free past 600 degrees Celsius - relevant on a light bike where a single hard stop loads one axle almost entirely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForms a protective ceramic film on the rotor instead of scouring it, unlike a conventional sintered pad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pack covers one caliper; the MT-09 has two front discs, so a full front change needs two packs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe backing plate is laser-cut from a metal alloy chosen for stiffness at temperature, and the ceramic-sintered friction layer is bonded to it with the joining process Okada Corporation developed to stop the layer detaching when hot. On the S001 the friction material is split into two large blocks rather than four narrow ones. Fewer, larger blocks mean fewer edges to chamfer unevenly and a more consistent contact patch through the pad's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a road bike the honest measure of a pad is not a single hard stop but a hundred ordinary ones. The EX compound was specified for exactly that mix: it works at low and medium temperatures without needing a warm-up lap, and it does not turn grabby when it finally does get hot on a mountain descent. Combined with the unusually deep 8.8 mm friction stack, that gives the MT-09 a front brake that behaves the same in February traffic and on an August pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed by ZCOO for the Yamaha MT-09 in both the 850 and 900 cc versions, model years 2014 through 2026. The same S001 shape also covers the MT-07, MT-10, XSR700, XSR900 and the Tracer models. 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-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 MT-09, 2014-2026\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":53637361565962,"sku":"Z-S001-EX","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/S001-produkt.png?v=1788768792","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-tr\/products\/zcoo-ex-race-front-brake-pads-yamaha-mt-09","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
