DescriptionThe whole story

On an unfaired machine like the Ducati MONSTER 1200 R the rider's own body is part of the braking load. The shape is the B005, the longest pad ZCOO builds, at 102.2 by 42.0 mm and 8.05 mm thick. The B005 in EX Race trim is the version ZCOO builds for riders who value feel over first bite.

Key Features

  • Quiet in normal use and low on dust, so the MONSTER 1200 R does not pay for its brakes in wheel cleaning
  • Laser-cut backing plate holds the friction face flat when the Brembo caliper spreads under peak line pressure
  • Direct replacement for the standard Brembo pad on the Ducati MONSTER 1200 R - no shims, no spacers, no modification
  • Fade-free past 600 degrees Celsius, the range a hard-worked MONSTER 1200 R front end reaches
  • Consistent across the whole 4-year listing for the MONSTER 1200 R, so a used bike takes the same reference as a new one
  • Compatible with the standard Brembo retaining pin and spring of the MONSTER 1200 R - nothing else to buy

Construction and Material Quality

The Ducati MONSTER 1200 R pad is made the way ZCOO makes its competition references. Expansion gaps between the friction blocks let the B005 material grow into the gaps when hot instead of building stress against itself. Both details exist so the B005 keeps its pressure distribution honest as it wears down.

Performance and Feel

There is nothing dramatic about the first squeeze of an EX Race B005, and that is deliberate. It works from cold without a warm-up lap and does not turn grabby once the B005 is hot. On an unfaired machine like the Ducati MONSTER 1200 R that is a control argument, not a comfort one.

Fitment and Compatibility

This reference is catalogued for the Brembo-equipped Ducati MONSTER 1200 R, 2016 to 2019. The same B005 shape covers 117 further machines in the 2026 catalogue. Nothing in the ZCOO range fits the rear axle of the MONSTER 1200 R. 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.
