DescriptionThe whole story▼

For an Indian Chief Dark Horse that has become a track project, Accossato lists the AGPA38 front pad from 2015 to 2023 in ZXC ceramic racing. The company calls it a ceramic mixture ideal for competition, and it is aimed at riders who spend weekends at the circuit and treat the brake as part of their setup. Owners who ride the Dark Horse on the road will be better served by one of the other compounds of the same pad.

Construction and Material Quality

Accossato's catalogue describes ZXC in a few words: a ceramic compound ideal for racing. The ceramic base gives it a distinct character compared with the brand's other mixtures, particularly once the brake reaches high temperature, which happens quickly on a heavy cruiser at speed. ZXC is designed with Accossato's usual goals of limited wear and controlled heat build-up.

A Cruiser Track Project

Turning a Chief Dark Horse into a track machine involves suspension, ground clearance and, above all, brakes that can stop a heavy bike repeatedly from speed. Riders using ZXC spend practice sessions learning how the ceramic pad bites cold and hot, then fine-tune lever reach and braking markers for later sessions. After each outing, check pad thickness, look at the disc for discolouration and clean dust from the calipers. Replace pads in caliper pairs and bed in a fresh set on a slow lap. A notebook in the pit box, with a line on lever feel after every session, helps the rider see whether the Dark Horse needs its markers moved as the pads wear down.

Fitment and Compatibility

Accossato's listing for the Chief 1800 Dark Horse, 2015 to 2023, is the basis for this front pad. No other Accossato pad or disc appears for this version. The box contains one caliper set; count the front calipers on your Chief Dark Horse. Clean the pistons before pushing them back, and pump the lever until firm.

Road Approval

We do not have a German ABE or test documents for this ceramic pad; it is sold strictly for racing and competition.
