The air in the pit box has not warmed up, tyre warmers are doing most of the talking, and the first session of the morning is slower than the last session of the afternoon by a margin that has nothing to do with the rider. A Ducati Panigale 1299 Superleggera of 2017 spends such days in the hands of someone changing one thing at a time. Accossato's front pad for it is the AGPA106, and this article carries the ZXC ceramic racing material, described by the company as a ceramic compound intended for racing.\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\u003eAGPA106ZXC: the AGPA106 carrier with the ceramic racing material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato calls the mixture ceramic and places it in competition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor weekends spent adjusting the machine between sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads per box, one caliper's worth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front wheel of this Ducati runs two calipers, so plan on two boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe same carrier is also available in ST, EV1 and EV2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE on record; offered for competition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic and racing are the two words Accossato attaches to this friction layer, and the firm does not stretch them further. A compound sold for competition is bought by people who will judge it themselves over a weekend, not by anyone looking for a quiet life on the commute. The hardware under the face is the AGPA106, identical to the version used for the road-biased materials, so the only variable in a back-to-back test is the compound. That is the point for a rider working through settings on a 1299 Superleggera, where changing two things at once teaches nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Cold Morning in the Pit Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything reads differently before the sun is properly up. Tyre pressures come up less, the track surface takes half the day to offer real grip, and a braking point that worked yesterday afternoon arrives too early at nine in the morning. Riders who get anything out of an early session accept that and spend it gathering information rather than chasing a time. On a light machine with carbon wheels the effect is pronounced, because the 1299 Superleggera changes direction so willingly that a cold front tyre is the only thing holding the rider back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA disciplined box routine makes the day add up. Change one item between runs and write down what happened. Note how far the lever came back on the last lap. Have a look at the front pads when the wheel is out, and if a new set has just gone in, spend the out lap and the first tour of the circuit bringing it up to temperature with a run of increasingly firm applications. Let the machine cool on its stand instead of leaving the lever tied back, and read the fluid once everything has settled rather than while the discs are still ticking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Superleggera has its own line in Accossato's list and this front article belongs to it, model year 2017 and no other. Owners of the standard 1299 or the 1299 S should look to the entries written for those machines instead. At the rear of the Superleggera the AGPA42 does the equivalent job for the same single season. Accossato lists no brake disc for this model. Because the front wheel is clamped from two sides, a complete change means two boxes, and a spare pair is usual for a race weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have no German ABE for the AGPA106ZXC and nothing from a test house to accompany it, so the article is catalogued for competition and closed-course use rather than for the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo AGPA106 pads in the ceramic racing material, packed as one set for one front caliper of the Panigale 1299 Superleggera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: AGPA106ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZXC ceramic racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 102 × 44 × 7.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Friction material principally composed of a ceramic compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction coefficient: 0.78 average (0.60 minimum, 0.84 maximum), JASO regulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: 3.66 g\/cm³ at 20 °C (+0.10 \/ −0.05)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature resistance: 450 °C working, 600 °C maximum\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":53818026754314,"sku":"AGPA106ZXC","price":96.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/AGPA106_ZXC_98f0618a-c89e-49d5-9250-89ef8526c0a8.png?v=1790594027","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/accossato-zxc-ceramic-front-brake-pads-ducati-panigale-1299-superleggera-2017-agpa106zxc","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
