There is not much load on the back wheel of a Ducati Panigale 1299 Superleggera under braking, and the 2017 machine will lock its rear with a press that a heavier bike would shrug off. Accossato's rear article for it is the AGPA42, offered here in the ZXC ceramic racing material, which the company describes as a ceramic compound for racing. The interest for a rider is not stopping power at the back but how finely the pedal can be metered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear brake pads for the Ducati Panigale 1299 Superleggera, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPA42ZXC: the AGPA42 carrier with the ceramic racing material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato presents the compound as ceramic and made for racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor track riders who meter the pedal in very small amounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads to the box, matched to the rear caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne rear caliper, so one box covers the axle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe AGPA42 carrier is also listed in OR and ST\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo German ABE on file; sold for competition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic is how Accossato characterises this friction layer, racing is where it places it, and the firm leaves it there. What a rider takes from that is a compound developed for machines being used at their limit rather than for a pleasant ride out. The carrier is the standard AGPA42, common to all three materials on this axle, which means a garage running a 1299 Superleggera can keep more than one compound on the shelf and swap between them at the rear without a single change to the caliper or its mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSetting Up a Pedal You Barely Press\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRear brake technique on a machine this light is a matter of very small movements and very little force. The rider is not trying to slow down; the aim is to load the rear tyre slightly, hold the machine steady while the gearbox is worked, and stop the back wheel skipping as it comes off the ground. Carbon wheels make the rear end quick to react, so a boot that presses too far gets an immediate answer, and riders coming to a Superleggera from something heavier often need a session or two to recalibrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware can help. Set the pedal height so the ball of the foot reaches it without lifting the heel off the rest, and adjust the free play so a short press does something rather than nothing. After a session, check that the pedal returns cleanly and that the caliper is not holding the pads against the disc once everything has cooled. A rear pad on a 1299 Superleggera used this way wears more than the lap count suggests, so look at it whenever the wheel is out instead of waiting for the pedal to tell you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccossato's list places this rear article on the Panigale 1299 Superleggera of 2017, a single model and a single year. Other machines in the 1299 family have their own entries and the article numbers are not interchangeable. The front wheel of the Superleggera takes the AGPA106 for the same season. There is no Accossato disc for this model. One box equips the single rear caliper; teams normally carry a spare set in the van alongside the front ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo German ABE has been issued to us for the AGPA42ZXC and no test report came with it.
