Brembo S p A : World Superbike Championship goes home. Without a minute’s rest for the brakes

​The pads for street-legal bikes​

Brembo Z04 pads are a real Factory Pad also available for the most popular supersport bikes. However, these pads are not suitable for road use, even occasional use, because their low temperature efficiency is under that of than many other examples. The Z04s have much higher wear on the road than the latter.

For anyone who only uses their bike on the road, Brembo has four versions available: the organic CC for softer and more modulated braking, the sintered SP (specifically for the rear wheel), SA and LA. The highest performing of these is the SA, identified by its red paint, with friction coefficient that increases as the pad heats up. The SA also performs reasonably well in occasional track use. ​
