Looked after does not mean locked away: owners take them out on damp spring mornings and get caught in the odd summer downpour, and the front wheel of this machine is gripped by two calipers. Accossato's entry for that wheel is the AGPA106, and the listing here is the Sintered version, article AGPA106ST, a material the company credits with a steady grip level whether the discs are cold or hot, and with holding on when they are wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront brake pads for the Ducati Monster 1200 25° Anniversario of 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPA106ST: the AGPA106 plate carrying the Sintered material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato names constant grip at high and low disc temperature, and in the wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe anniversary edition takes a different front pad from the standard Monster 1200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo calipers at the front, so one box covers one side of the wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads to a box, the pair a single caliper closes onto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe same AGPA106 plate is also offered in EV1, EV2 and ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE on file; sold for racing and closed-course use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat Accossato claims for this material is consistency rather than a peak. The grip arriving at the lever should sit near the same level on a disc that has stood outside all night as on one warmed by a fast road, and rain on the friction face should not rewrite the answer. Underneath it lies the AGPA106 plate, the same piece of steel used for every version of the article, so the decision between the four listings is a decision about the friction layer alone. Accossato has been building brake components near Turin since 1969, and low wear across a long service life is a claim it makes for the pad range generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRiding a Limited Edition in Real Weather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBikes built as anniversary editions tend to lead two lives. Some are stored, started twice a year and passed on with the odometer barely moved; others are ridden the way the factory intended, which on a Monster 1200 means early departures, cold air and whatever the sky has decided. The second group is who this listing is written for. A machine that spends its nights in an unheated garage offers cold discs at the first bend of every ride, and that first bend is often the one with a car waiting to pull out of a side road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo habits make a difference across a season. Squeeze the front lever gently once as you leave the driveway in the wet, before you actually need it, so that the faces are wiped and the first real application is an honest one. And when the rain has stopped, look at what is left of the material through the mouth of the caliper on both sides of the wheel rather than only the side visible from the pavement. Pads on a Monster 1200 rarely go down at the same rate across a front axle, and catching the thinner side early saves the disc behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato puts the AGPA106 at the front of the Monster 1200 in its 25° Anniversario form, model year 2019. The standard Monster 1200 of 2014 to 2021 is covered instead by the AGPA177, which tells you the two machines do not share a front pad, so order by the edition in your garage rather than by the badge on the tank. At the rear the same catalogue names the AGPA42 across 2014 to 2021. For discs, Accossato offers the DK053 and the DKS053. Two front calipers mean two boxes for a complete change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo German ABE and no test report reached us with the AGPA106ST, so the pads are catalogued for racing and closed-course use rather than for public roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne box holding two AGPA106 pads in the Sintered material, the set for a single front caliper; the whole front wheel of the Monster 1200 takes two boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: AGPA106ST\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: Sintered (ST)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 102 × 44 × 7.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Sintered copper friction material with abrasives and carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction coefficient: 0.46 average, 0.52 maximum (dyno test to JASO standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: 4.50 g\/cm³ at 20 °C (+0.10 \/ −0.05)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardness: 90 HRR (± 10 HRR, Rockwell HRR scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature resistance: 450 °C working, 600 °C maximum peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum shear strength: 30 kg\/cm²\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":53784123867402,"sku":"AGPA106ST","price":42.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/AGPA106_ST_9d055f01-ab7a-4309-a048-f682076669a4.png?v=1790593933","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/accossato-sintered-front-brake-pads-ducati-monster-1200-25-anniversario-2019-agpa106st","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
