Z04 Compound Racing Brake Pad

The Brembo 107A48653 Z04 Compound is a high-performance racing brake pad designed as a direct replacement for the 40mm Brembo Axial Brake Caliper. This pad utilizes Brembo's Z04 compound, which is engineered to deliver maximum performance in extreme racing conditions. Its key characteristics include high friction and consistent efficiency, particularly at elevated disc temperatures, ensuring reliable and sustained braking power throughout a race while minimizing the occurrence of brake fade. This Z04 compound is a genuine "Factory Pad" utilized in professional racing series such as Moto2, World Superbike (WSBK), and World Supersport (WSSP). Consequently, they are not suitable for road use. The Z04 compound represents Brembo's highest performing motorcycle racing brake compound, providing superlative, consistent braking and a reliable feel even under high disc temperatures. It's important to note that these pads are sold as a set for one caliper, meaning one disc. For optimal performance, a rotor surface preparation, such as sanding, is strongly recommended to remove any residue from previous pads and ensure the Brembo Z04 pads perform at their maximum capability. Compatibility is specifically noted for select Yamaha models including the YFZ-R1 (2015 onwards), YFZ-R6 (1998 onwards), FZ6 (2007-2009), FZ8 (2010-2011), and FZ1 (2006-2010).
