DescriptionThe whole story▼

Few Sportster 1200 Custom owners take their classically styled cruiser onto a circuit, but Accossato still builds a compound for the ones who do. This ZXC ceramic racing front pad fits the XL1200C built between 2014 and 2019, and it is pitched at a bike set up for a dedicated track session rather than at the bike's usual role of cruising with chrome catching the light at every set of lights.

Key Features

  • ZXC ceramic racing compound for the Sportster 1200 Custom XL1200C front caliper
  • Listed by Accossato for model years 2014 to 2019
  • Ceramic mixture built by the maker specifically for racing use
  • Aimed at a 1200 Custom prepared for circuit or competition work
  • Consistent response expected over repeated hard-braking laps
  • Alternative ST front compound exists for the same caliper
  • Two pads per box, enough for one front caliper

Construction and Material Quality

Accossato calls this ZXC mixture a ceramic compound built specifically for racing, which makes it an unusual fit for a bike generally known for its laid-back custom styling rather than for outright pace. A rider who still wants to try the 1200 Custom on track is accepting a compound that rewards sustained heat and repeated hard stops rather than one built for a gentle cold start outside a Sunday meet, and this pad is built around that trade-off rather than everyday use.

Taking a Custom Cruiser Racing

Turning a bike built around its looks into something closer to a race machine for a day means accepting that the front brake's job changes completely, from occasional firm stops to lap after lap of hard braking into the same corners. This ZXC compound is built for that changed job, holding its bite as the pad stays hot through a session rather than needing to cool between every stop as a road-biased pad might, which is the only way a pad can keep up with lap after lap on a full circuit session.

Fitment and Compatibility

Accossato restricts this ZXC pad to the 1200 Custom XL1200C built between 2014 and 2019; a different year or a different Sportster model is not covered by this listing, so double-check before buying. For days the bike goes back to being a road-going custom rather than a track machine, the Sintered compound fits the identical caliper.

Road Approval

We hold no test or approval paperwork, including a German ABE or a type approval mark, for this pad, so it is listed for racing and competition use only. Please check the rules in your own country before considering it for a road-going bike.

Scope of Delivery

Two brake pads in the box, one set for a single front caliper. No mounting pins, springs or other hardware are included in the package.
