The ground can be frozen hard in the morning and greasy by midday, puddles hide a skin of ice and the shade under the trees stays frosty all day. On a KTM 450 XC-W, the big four-stroke enduro KTM built mainly for the American market, the front brake is used with extra care in those conditions. For the 450 XC-W of 2014 to 2016, Accossato's B8303 gives that brake a short three-finger blade in black or gold, hinged to fold if the ice has the last word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding brake lever for the KTM 450 XC-W, model years 2014 to 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces the stock lever on the original front brake master cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint lets the blade swing forward on impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, three-finger blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC-machined from solid Ergal 7075 in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack or gold blade, dark base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne lever supplied\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE documented; for off-road use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato, whose home today is Villastellone near Turin, makes the B8303 in Italy by CNC-machining solid Ergal 7075. The high-strength aluminium alloy serves the goals the company names for its levers: strength, low weight and reliability. The B8303 has a dark base on the master cylinder pivot and a blade in black or gold, linked by a joint that allows the blade to fold forward. On this brake lever the blade is short, with room for three fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrost in the Shade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn frozen ground the front tyre has little grip. Braking in a straight line before a turn, using the rear more than usual and squeezing the front lever gently are the basics. On ice itself, most riders avoid braking altogether and simply roll across upright, throttle steady and bars straight. The 450 XC-W's torque needs care as well: a higher gear than usual and a smooth throttle keep the rear tyre from spinning on the frozen surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFalls on frozen ground are usually sudden. The front tyre slides on a patch of ice and the bike drops to the side almost before you notice, onto soil that is as hard as rock. If the bike goes down on its right, the brake lever takes that impact. The B8303's blade is hinged, so it can swing forward on impact and may come through intact. Nothing guarantees that, but on a cold day far from the truck, a KTM 450 XC-W with a working front brake is a much better prospect for the ride back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B8303 is meant for the KTM 450 XC-W of the 2014, 2015 and 2016 model years and takes the place of the original brake lever. The C7303 clutch lever is listed for the same three years. If you want both sides to look the same, black is the only option, because the brake lever is otherwise made in gold and the clutch lever in orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo German ABE is documented for the B8303, and it is supplied for off-road use and competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne B8303 brake lever in black or gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: B8303\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: CNC folding off-road brake lever for the original master cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: machined from solid Ergal 7075 aluminium alloy, made in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade colours: black, gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever design: shorter lever for three fingers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding: hinged blade that can tip forward in a fall (anti-break design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoad approval: none documented, off-road use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: KTM 450XC-W (2014–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Accossato","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53783866409226,"sku":"B8303N","price":36.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold","offer_id":53783866638602,"sku":"B8303Y","price":36.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/B8303N_6c8313ee-f67d-4dde-b56f-a7d9bc65bcb4.png?v=1790022437","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/accossato-cnc-offroad-folding-brake-lever-ktm-450xc-w-2014-2016-b8303","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
