Brembo Z04 Racing Brake Pads – Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2012–2016) 107A48639

Engineered from the same compound technology that stops bikes in MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and World Superbike, the Brembo Z04 racing brake pads deliver certified, race-validated stopping power for the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 (2012–2016) — with zero compromise from the first application to the wear limit.

Key Features

• Full braking force with no bedding-in period required — fit them and ride at 100% immediately.
• Race-derived compound developed directly from MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and SBK programmes for maximum deceleration under the hardest braking zones.
• Outstanding high-temperature stability — the Z04 compound maintains consistent bite and feel under repeated, sustained thermal load without fade.
• Very high braking control — precise, progressive modulation in every riding situation, from road use to dedicated track days.
• Low wear rate relative to performance level — long service life that makes no compromise on outright stopping power.
• Exact OEM-matched dimensions (length 102.2 mm, height 41.7 mm, thickness 7.9 mm) ensure a direct, rattle-free fit.

Race Pedigree Brought to the Road

The Z04 is Brembo's pinnacle sintered compound, developed at the highest levels of professional motorcycle racing before being made available for road and circuit use. Where many aftermarket pads trade modulation for outright bite — or vice versa — the Z04 formula resolves that compromise entirely. The result is a pad that a professional rider can threshold-brake with lap after lap, yet one that a road rider will find reassuringly linear and predictable at everyday speeds. The compound's thermal envelope is engineered for the extreme heat generated in back-to-back braking events, making it the correct choice for track days where standard pads progressively fade.

Zero Bedding-In — Ready from Lap One

Unlike many high-performance compounds that demand a careful warm-up procedure before they can be trusted, the Brembo Z04 requires no bedding-in period. Fit the pads, torque the caliper hardware correctly, and they are ready for full braking load from the very first stop. This characteristic makes them especially valuable in race and track-day environments where time or conditions do not permit a controlled run-in sequence.
