Brembo Z04 Racing Brake Pads Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SP SC82 2020–2026 107A48639

Derived directly from Brembo's involvement in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and World Superbike, the Z04 compound represents the pinnacle of racing brake pad engineering. Built to exacting tolerances from high-grade sintered materials that deliver consistent, fade-free stopping power right to the wear limit, these pads are a direct-fit upgrade for the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SP (SC82) — the only variant they are designed to suit.

Key Features

• Race-bred Z04 compound developed through Brembo's MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and SBK programmes — genuine competition DNA, not a road pad rebadged.
• Outstanding high-temperature resistance ensures braking character remains linear and predictable under sustained hard use on track or demanding road routes.
• Zero bedding-in required — the pads deliver maximum performance from the very first application.
• Exceptionally low wear rate means longer service intervals without any compromise in braking authority.
• Precision-machined to exact OEM dimensions: 102.2 mm length, 41.7 mm height, 7.9 mm thickness — a perfect, rattle-free fit in the SP caliper.
• Each pack contains two pads, covering one brake caliper — straightforward to source the correct quantity for front or rear.

Compound & Construction

The Z04 is Brembo's flagship sintered racing compound, formulated to operate across an exceptionally wide temperature window. Where conventional road pads begin to fade under the thermal load generated by repeated hard braking, the Z04 compound bites harder and more consistently — a characteristic that translates directly into shorter braking distances and greater rider confidence when it matters most. The backing plate and friction material are manufactured to the same standards demanded by Brembo's factory racing teams, ensuring the structural integrity that premium track use demands.

Road & Track Use

Designed primarily for closed-circuit competition, the Z04 pads are equally at home on a spirited road ride where the CBR 1000 RR-R SP's Brembo Stylema calipers are exploited to their full potential. The absence of any bedding-in period is a practical advantage for riders moving between track days and road use, removing the risk of reduced initial bite that can accompany conventional high-performance compounds during warm-up laps.

Fitment & Compatibility

These pads are specifically engineered for and compatible exclusively with the Honda CBR 1000 RR-R SP (SC82), model years 2020 to 2026. They are not suitable for the standard (non-SP) CBR 1000 RR-R. Always confirm your variant before ordering.
