This is a specialist item. A heavy adventure tourer is rarely taken racing, but where an owner does ride the Explorer on closed circuits, in timed sessions or in endurance-style club events, a racing compound designed for sustained hard braking is the relevant choice. For almost everyone else, the other compounds on this plate fit better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPA177 front pad in EV2 racing compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the Triumph Tiger Explorer (Tiger 1200 Explorer), 2016-2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato: a top racing compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor circuit sessions and repeated heavy stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads per box, one front caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso offered as ST, EV1 and ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato calls EV2 a top racing compound and says no more than that. It belongs to the part of the range built for circuit heat and repeated hard stops rather than for daily use. The general claims Accossato makes for its pads, slow wear, fade kept down by controlled heat and strong stopping power, apply to this mix as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWeight, Heat and the Stopwatch\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sheer mass of an Explorer changes the arithmetic of track riding. Every stop at the end of a straight turns a great deal of speed into heat, and on a heavy bike that heat is higher than on a sports machine. A racing compound is designed to cope with this over a whole session and to deliver its grip consistently lap after lap. It is not intended for cold commutes or slow town traffic, where it may feel very different. Between sessions, check the pads and discs closely, bleed the brakes with fresh fluid before each event and allow for the extra stopping distance of a heavy bike. Riders who mix road and occasional circuit use should look at EV1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists AGPA177 for the front of the Tiger Explorer in 2016 and 2017; the 2012 to 2015 Explorer uses AGPA58. There are two front calipers, so two boxes are needed. The rear pad for the Explorer is AGPA76. Fit pads to both calipers at once and bed them in fully before pushing hard on track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur records hold no German ABE or approval for AGPA177EV2; it is sold for racing and competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo EV2 racing front pads, AGPA177, for one caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: AGPA177EV2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: EV2 racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 85 × 50.8 × 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction coefficient: approx. 0.48 at 50 °C, 0.59 at 350–375 °C, 0.48 at 600 °C (Accossato friction chart)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: 2 brake pads, one set for one caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accossato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53824718471434,"sku":"AGPA177EV2","price":169.0,"currency_code":"BND","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/AGPA177_6f853322-b0e8-4d18-83c4-7ff700200f85.png?v=1790611102","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-bn\/products\/accossato-ev2-front-brake-pads-triumph-tiger-explorer-2016-2017-agpa177ev2","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
