A click of preload, a different lever position, another pad compound: the small adjustments are what make a lap repeatable. Accossato's ZXC ceramic racing compound belongs to that list of adjustments. Carried on the AGPA177 outline, it fits the front wheel of the Aprilia Tuono 660 built from 2022 to 2025, and the company presents it simply as a ceramic compound for competition riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront pads for the Aprilia Tuono 660 of 2022 to 2025 in the ZXC ceramic racing compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato's ceramic material, offered for racing rather than for daily transport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticle number AGPA177ZXC; the outline is shared with the road compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads per box, which equips one caliper of the pair at the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by a firm that has built brake components since 1969, near Turin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear pads for the same machine are catalogued as the AGPA42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGentler compounds exist on the same shape for road use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE available to us; sold for racing and closed courses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic friction materials found their way into racing because of how they behave once the whole front end is hot, and ZXC ceramic racing is where Accossato puts its version. The description the company gives is short enough to quote in full: a ceramic compound suited to racing. Since every compound in this family shares one plate, a rider who decides on Saturday evening that a different material would suit Sunday morning loses only the few minutes the swap takes, with no change to the caliper or its mounting. Accossato has been making brake parts since 1969, when the firm started in Moncalieri on the edge of Turin, and the competition side of the catalogue is still where most of its development goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrake Feel as Part of the Set-Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders talk about suspension settings far more than about lever feel, yet the brake is the control they use most precisely. On a Tuono 660 the useful work happens in the first part of the lever's travel: that is where the front tyre is loaded, where a corner entry is shaped, and where a rider decides whether to trust the marker board. Getting it right is mostly routine. Set the lever span so the fingers reach it without stretching, bed a new set of pads in before you need them, and write down after each session what the brake actually did rather than what you hoped it would do. If the bite point wanders, look for air in the system or a piston that is not moving freely before you blame the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato assigns the AGPA177 to the front of the Aprilia Tuono 660 for the model years 2022 to 2025. One box equips one caliper, and since this machine carries two at the front, two boxes finish the job; fitting a fresh pair on one side only leaves the wheel gripped unevenly. The AGPA42 pad from the same programme covers the rear of the Tuono 660, which is worth ordering in the same parcel when a meeting is coming up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have received no German ABE and no test certificate for this pad, and a ceramic competition material would not be offered as a road part in any event.
