Overview
Z04 – Highest initial bite and friction while wearing the slowest of all the pad options. Maintains great braking performance throughout the entire life of the brake pad. Used in world superbike and supersport championships. The brake pads need heat to operate properly therefore these pads are not recommended for street use. The pads must also be used with stainless steel rotors.
Sintered pads consist of metallic powders with the addition of lubricants and abrasives that are combined using pressure and high heat. This process attaches the braking compound to the metal backing plate without the use of any adhesives. The metallic powders used in each specific pad is what determines its braking capacity and stability at high temperatures. The lubricants increase brake pads stability while the abrasives work to keep the brake rotors clean.

Proper pad break-in is extremely important to ensure optimum performance and life. To complete brake pad break-in, lightly apply the brakes a number of times letting the system cool between each braking event. The break-in period varies by pad material, the organic pads require more careful and precise braking to avoid the risk of "glossing" the pads which will adversely affect their performance.
