It is no longer the thing that holds the bike at traffic lights; it becomes a control used with the ball of the foot, a few times a lap, to keep the chassis flat and the line tight. Accossato's ZXC ceramic racing material is available for that job on the Ducati Monster 821 Dark of 2015 and 2016, carried by the AGPA42 rear shape and sold as article AGPA42ZXC. The company's description is a ceramic compound intended for racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear brake pads for the Ducati Monster 821 Dark, 2015 and 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPA42ZXC: the AGPA42 shape in the ZXC ceramic racing material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato names a ceramic compound for racing use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor riders who work the pedal deliberately, lap after lap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne caliper at the rear, so a box is the whole axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads to the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOR and ST cover the same shape in other materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE in our files; racing equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato's account of this compound amounts to two words, ceramic and racing, and the company leaves the rest to the stopwatch. At the rear, what a rider is really buying is a consistent response from a pedal that is operated by feel alone. Since the AGPA42 plate is shared by every material in the family, swapping into the ceramic grade changes nothing that has to be measured, adjusted or persuaded into place, and the pedal geometry stays exactly as it was set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Track Machine and the Pedal Under Your Boot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoot position is half of rear braking on a circuit. With the balls of the feet on the pegs, reaching the pedal is a deliberate movement, and riders who do it well apply a small, steady pressure rather than a stab. On a Monster 821 Dark that has lost its road equipment, the rear is often used to stop the bike running wide on corner exit, which means the pedal is being held while the throttle is open, and the pads are working with very little cooling between applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the bike up so this is possible. Check that the pedal returns fully and that nothing is holding it against the disc, since a dragging rear brake on a track bike will destroy a set in an afternoon. Inspect both pads after each event, because uneven wear points at a caliper that is not sliding. Clean the pistons before they go back, keep the disc free of lubricant, and pump the pedal firm before the machine leaves the stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear entry for this version is restricted to 2015 and 2016. One caliper works back there, so one box finishes the axle. Front pads for the same two seasons are the AGPA177, and that wheel carries two calipers and therefore needs two boxes. Accossato lists the DKS053 in its disc programme for the machine. Given that a single pad shape spans many models, the article number is what should be compared before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo German ABE and no test report exist in our documentation for the AGPA42ZXC, so the pads are catalogued exclusively for racing and closed-course use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne box containing two AGPA42 pads in the ZXC ceramic racing material, the full set for the rear caliper of the Monster 821 Dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: AGPA42ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: ZXC ceramic racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 50.9 × 53.9 × 7.3 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":53817529467146,"sku":"AGPA42ZXC","price":84.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/AGPA42ZXC-Ducati-MONSTER-821-DARK-platzhalter.png?v=1790584791","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/products\/accossato-zxc-ceramic-rear-brake-pads-ducati-monster-821-dark-2015-2016-agpa42zxc","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
