ZCOO Brake Pad Range: EX, EXR Racing and EX-C Endurance

ZCOO EX – Braking Power and Excellent Modulation

ZCOO EX, also known as EX Race, ceramic sintered brake pads are designed to provide powerful, progressive and highly controllable braking performance.

One of their main characteristics is excellent braking modulation, allowing the rider to precisely control braking force through the brake lever.

Main features of ZCOO EX brake pads:

• High braking power with progressive response

• Excellent modulation and braking control

• Consistent performance across a wide temperature range

• High fade resistance during repeated hard braking

• Reduced brake disc wear compared with more aggressive racing compounds

• Suitable for sporty riding and track-day applications, according to the manufacturer's specifications

• Compatible with suitable steel brake discs, depending on the specific application

ZCOO EX brake pads are an excellent choice for riders looking to improve braking performance while maintaining precise lever feel and progressive braking control.

ZCOO EXR – New Racing Compound for Track and Competition

ZCOO EXR represents the evolution of ZCOO's racing brake pad technology, developed for riders and racers who demand maximum braking power, strong initial bite and outstanding resistance under extreme braking conditions.

The EXR compound combines an aggressive initial response with progressive control through the brake lever, making it particularly suitable for high-performance track riding and racing.

Main features of ZCOO EXR brake pads:

• Strong initial bite for aggressive high-performance braking

• High braking power under demanding conditions

• Excellent resistance to high temperatures and brake fade

• Effective response even at relatively low temperatures

• High compound durability for racing applications

• Advanced backing plate design engineered to improve stability

• Ideal for track days, sprint racing and endurance applications

ZCOO EXR Racing brake pads are particularly suitable for riders looking for powerful braking during the hardest braking zones while maintaining precision and control.

ZCOO EX-C – Racing Brake Pads for Endurance and Wave Discs

ZCOO EX-C, traditionally identified by compound code 01, was developed to provide excellent durability, strong initial bite and high wear resistance during intensive racing use.

This compound is particularly suitable for endurance racing and Wave brake discs, while it can also be used with compatible conventional steel brake discs according to the specific application.

Main features of ZCOO EX-C brake pads:

• High braking power from the initial braking phase

• Highly wear-resistant compound

• Developed for endurance racing

• Suitable for Wave brake discs

• Excellent resistance to high temperatures

• Consistent performance during repeated braking

• Compatible with conventional and Wave steel discs, depending on application

The EX-C compound is one of ZCOO's established solutions for demanding endurance racing applications.

Range update: EX-C is a previous-generation compound that has progressively been replaced by the newer EXR. Availability of EX-C products may therefore depend on remaining stock.

ZCOO EX vs EXR vs EX-C: Which Brake Pads Should You Choose?

Choosing the right ZCOO motorcycle brake pads depends mainly on riding style, braking system specifications and the rider's preferred brake response.

ZCOO EX – Compound Code 00

Recommended for riders looking for progressive braking, excellent modulation and precise control, with versatile performance for sporty riding and track applications.

ZCOO EXR – New-Generation Racing Compound

Designed for riders who demand strong initial bite, maximum braking performance and excellent resistance to intensive track use, including sprint and endurance racing.

ZCOO EX-C – Compound Code 01

Historically developed for endurance racing and Wave brake discs, EX-C provides a particularly strong initial response and excellent resistance to wear.

Important: the differences between these compounds mainly concern initial bite, modulation and performance under extreme braking conditions. Always select brake pads according to compatibility with the motorcycle's calipers and brake discs.

ZCOO Ceramic Sintered Technology: Powerful Braking and Reduced Disc Wear

ZCOO ceramic sintered brake pads use a dedicated manufacturing technology designed to withstand the high temperatures generated during aggressive motorcycle braking.

The friction material is engineered to maintain stable braking characteristics even when the braking system is exposed to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

One of the distinctive characteristics of ZCOO technology is the interaction between the ceramic sintered friction material and the disc surface, designed to help control brake disc wear while maintaining consistent braking performance.

The brake pad backing plate also plays an important role. Its stability helps maintain correct contact between the friction material and brake disc during demanding braking conditions.

These characteristics make ZCOO an excellent choice for riders looking for high-performance racing brake pads with a strong balance between braking power, durability and control.

ZCOO Brake Pads for Standard and Wave Brake Discs

ZCOO brake pads are developed for applications using compatible steel brake discs.

The range includes compounds with different braking characteristics and wear resistance, suitable for conventional or Wave brake discs according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Conventional brake discs: the EX compound provides progressive response and excellent brake lever feel.

Wave brake discs: the established EX-C compound was also developed to withstand the specific stresses generated by the profile of Wave-style brake discs.

Intensive racing use: the newer EXR compound represents an advanced solution for demanding track applications.

Compatibility does not depend exclusively on the shape of the brake disc. The disc material, brake caliper and specific brake pad part number must also be considered.
