New pads on a worn disc do not sit flat on the friction ring at first, and a new disc with glazed old pads takes a long time to bed in. For the Multistrada 950 from 2017 to 2021, including the 950 S and 950 S Touring, Accossato lists the DKS053 for the front wheel, where most of the stopping happens: a floating disc with a black carrier that, according to the maker, can take the place of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating front disc for the Ducati Multistrada 950, 2017 to 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for the 950 S (2019 to 2021) and the 950 S Touring (2020 to 2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e320 mm outer diameter, 5.5 mm thick ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e72 mm centre; five 8.5 mm holes on a 90 mm circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccording to Accossato, a direct replacement for the original disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum thickness printed on the disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne disc per purchase; the 950 needs two at the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato makes the DKS053 as a two-part floating disc. Its friction ring, 320 mm in diameter and 5.5 mm thick, is held to a black carrier by rivets that give it a small amount of float. The carrier meets the hub with a 72 mm centre, and Accossato gives a 90 mm hole circle with five holes of 8.5 mm. According to Accossato, the disc reflects experience gathered in Superbike, Moto2 and Moto3 and a great deal of work on the tolerances between the two parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePads and Discs as a Team\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA disc does not wear flat. The pads cut a shallow track into the ring, leaving a slight ridge at the outer edge and sometimes a faint pattern of grooves across the band. New pads laid onto that surface touch only on the high spots, and until they have worn to match, the brake feels soft and the pads heat unevenly. Old pads on a new disc have the opposite problem: their faces carry the imprint of the old disc and a glaze from long use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChanging both together on the Multistrada 950 gives the brake a clean start. Fresh pads and a fresh friction ring bed in against each other, and an even transfer layer forms over the first rides. The routine is simple: new pads in the calipers, new discs on the wheel, surfaces free of grease, and a series of moderate stops before any hard use. Accossato's guidance puts the disc change at around thirty to forty thousand kilometres, or earlier if a disc is worn or scored, so plan a pad change for the same day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists the DKS053 for the Multistrada 950 from 2017 to 2021, for the 950 S from 2019 to 2021 and for the 950 S Touring from 2020 to 2021. The Multistrada 950 has two front discs; replace both and tighten the bolts to the torque given by Ducati. A little movement between ring and carrier on a new floating disc is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato's DKS053 comes without a documented German ABE and without type approval, so its use is limited to the track and to competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne DKS053 front disc with black carrier; pads are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Floating brake disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: DKS053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter: 320 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner diameter: 72 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 5.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHole circle: 90 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting holes: 5 x 8.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrier colour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement: Interchangeable with the original equipment disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear limit: Minimum thickness marked on the disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: Ducati MULTISTRADA 950 (2017–2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad approval: None documented, track use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accossato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53783873880330,"sku":"DKS053N","price":107700.0,"currency_code":"AMD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/DKS053_466da24a-e917-4fa3-8868-1ea67bdb892e.png?v=1790022585","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-am\/products\/accossato-floating-front-brake-disc-ducati-multistrada-950-2017-2021-dks053","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
