The front discs deserve that look. Accossato's DK053 is a floating disc that can take the place of the original at the front of the Panigale 959 of 2016 to 2019. It has a black carrier and a 4.5 mm friction ring, and Accossato describes it as interchangeable with the original equipment disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating front disc for the Ducati Panigale 959, 2016 to 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for the 959 and the 959 Corse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e320 mm outer and 72 mm inner diameter; ring 4.5 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack carrier holding the ring on rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable with the original equipment disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum working thickness printed on the disc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne disc supplied; the 959 has two at the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE on file; for track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DK053 is built as a floating disc. Its outer ring, where the pads do their work, is held to a black centre by rivets with a little built-in freedom, which lets the ring expand when it gets hot and keeps it square to the pads. Accossato measures the disc at 320 mm outside and 72 mm at the centre and gives the ring a thickness of 4.5 mm. The company says that design and materials, as well as the tolerances between carrier and ring, have been worked out with care, based on what it learned in Superbike, Moto2 and Moto3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAfter a Winter Under the Cover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrake discs do not like standing still in damp air. After a few weeks a thin brown film of rust forms on the ring, and on a floating disc it often creeps into the gaps around the rivets as well. The light surface layer usually disappears within the first few gentle stops, and on its own it is no reason for a new disc. What deserves attention is what the rust may have hidden. Run a fingernail across the ring from the centre outwards: deep grooves that catch the nail, a raised lip at the outer edge, and pitting that remains after the first ride all point to a disc that has given most of what it had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the first proper ride of the season on the Panigale 959, measure the ring with a micrometer at several points and compare the readings with the minimum marked on the disc. Check the rivets too. Slight movement is normal on a floating disc, but none should be loose enough to rattle. If a disc is past its limit, replace both front discs together and start the season with new pads, bedding them in over a series of moderate stops on a quiet road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists the DK053 for the Panigale 959 from 2016 to 2019, covering the standard bike and the 959 Corse. The price applies to one disc, and the Panigale 959 uses two at the front. The same range includes the Elite-line DKS035 for the front and the fixed DK008 for the rear wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DK053 has no German ABE and no documented type approval.
