Riders who use the big Monster the way it invites, briskly and often, go through front tyres at a steady rate, so the opportunity comes round regularly. For the Monster 1200 of 2014 to 2021, Accossato offers the DK053 in place of an original front disc: a floating design with a black carrier, measuring 320 mm across with a 4.5 mm friction ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating front disc for the Ducati Monster 1200, 2014 to 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter diameter 320 mm, inner diameter 72 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 mm thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack carrier, friction ring fixed with 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 per order; two are needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE documented, for track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the plainest sense of the word, the DK053 floats: a black carrier bolts to the wheel, a friction ring surrounds it, and rivets between the two give the ring a fraction of free play. That freedom keeps the heat that builds up in the ring from twisting the rest of the disc. The disc locates on a 72 mm bore, and Accossato describes it as a direct replacement for the disc Ducati fitted. The lowest thickness at which it may still be used is printed on it, and Accossato warns that a disc worn below that figure can break under extreme stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen the Wheel Is Out Anyway\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the front wheel of the Monster 1200 on the bench, measure both discs and look for cracks, then try each floating ring with your fingers: it should move only very slightly on its rivets. Turn the wheel bearings with a finger; they should run smoothly, without roughness or play. Look along the rim for dents and check the valve while the tyre is off. Should the readings be near the printed minimum, this is the moment to change the discs, because the wheel is already out and nothing has to be taken apart twice. Doing both jobs in one visit also saves a second wheel removal later in the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonster 1200 models from 2014 to 2021 are the ones Accossato names for the DK053. There are two front discs on this bike, and the price is for one. The thicker DKS053 is Accossato's other disc for the Monster 1200, and the brand lists several levers for it as well: EDF099, ESH011, LV013, LV015 and RA002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it on the circuit: the DK053 comes with no German ABE and no documented type approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne DK053 floating disc with black carrier; fitting bolts 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: DK053\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: 4.5 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 MONSTER 1200 (2014–2021)\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":53783895408906,"sku":"DK053N","price":10500.0,"currency_code":"DOP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/DK053_f5c5c8e0-ea30-4b34-b385-fadfe7282e63.png?v=1790023060","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-do\/products\/accossato-floating-front-brake-disc-ducati-monster-1200-2014-2021-dk053","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
