Construction & Design:
The Z23 Evolution kit features carbon-fiber ceramic pads that blend the durability and heat resistance of ceramic materials with the enhanced friction characteristics of carbon fiber. This combination results in improved braking performance and reduced dust output. The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to promote rapid heat dissipation and maintain consistent braking under demanding conditions.
Each rotor is zinc plated to resist rust and corrosion, extending service life and maintaining appearance. The stainless-steel hardware and multi-layer shims further contribute to a quiet, reliable braking experience by reducing noise and ensuring proper pad alignment.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
