A machine of 2017 that has spent five months on a paddock stand comes out with a thin bloom of surface rust on the disc faces, tyres that have gone square where they sat, and a rider whose calibration has drifted over the winter. Accossato's front pad for this Ducati is built on the AGPA106 carrier, and this article is the Sintered material, which the company links with a grip level that stays constant whether the discs are cold or hot, and with performance that survives water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront brake pads for the Ducati Panigale 1299 Superleggera, model year 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPA106ST: the AGPA106 carrier carrying the Sintered material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato names a constant grip level at any disc temperature, wet or dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor a machine that is stored for part of the year and ridden in mixed weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads to a box, which is what one caliper closes onto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front wheel is held by two calipers, so the axle takes two boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe AGPA106 carrier is also pressed in EV1, EV2 and ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE in our files; listed for racing and closed-course use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato asks this material to be dependable rather than dramatic. The idea is that a given pull produces a given amount of slowing regardless of where the discs have been, so the rider is not recalibrating on the move, and that rain on the friction face does not change the arrangement. Behind the compound sits a carrier shared with every other article in the AGPA106 family, which is worth knowing on a limited-production machine: the choice of material changes the face that meets the disc and leaves the piece of hardware in the caliper exactly as it was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe First Warm Saturday After the Winter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Superleggera that has been under a cover since October does not wake up ready. The film that has formed on the discs is thin enough to wipe off in a few applications, but until it has gone the lever feels oddly distant and the first stop of the year is longer than the rider expects it to be. Fluid that has sat all winter has usually taken on moisture, chain lubricant has crept somewhere it should not be, and the tyres will need a good deal of gentle work before they are worth anything at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the first outing is treated as a shakedown rather than a ride. Roll down a quiet road and use the front brake three or four times from modest speeds to clean the faces and to let the fingers remember what the lever does. Look at the disc for pitting where the pads were parked all winter. Check the fluid before the helmet goes on rather than after the first bend. And give the whole machine a bend or two of nothing in particular before pressing on, because on a 1299 Superleggera the temptation to find out whether the winter changed anything is considerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato records this front article against one machine and one season: the 1299 Superleggera of 2017. The standard 1299 and 1299 S are handled separately in the same catalogue, so order against the exact model on your registration document rather than against the family name. The rear wheel of the Superleggera is looked after by the AGPA42, also for 2017. No Accossato disc is listed for this machine. Two front calipers mean two boxes for a complete change, and the pair should go in on the same afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AGPA106ST comes to us without a German ABE and without an inspection report of any kind, so we describe it as a part for racing and closed circuits. Nothing in our documentation supports use on public roads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne box, two AGPA106 pads in the Sintered material, the set for a single front caliper.
