For a Norton Commando 961 Sport used in competition, Accossato makes the AGPA42 rear pad in ZXC ceramic racing, listed for 2018 and 2019. The ceramic compound is designed for the circuit, where the rear brake must respond precisely to small inputs and stay stable when hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAGPA42 rear pads for the Norton Commando 961 Sport, 2018 and 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZXC ceramic racing mixture, SKU AGPA42ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato: a ceramic compound for racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecise response for line corrections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable at circuit temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps when trail braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads for one caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato calls ZXC a ceramic compound ideal for racing. It is made to give a stable bite at high temperatures throughout a session. Like all Accossato pads, it is designed for slow wear and limited fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTightening the Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a rider runs slightly wide in a long corner, a small amount of rear brake can help the bike tighten its line without upsetting the front. On the Commando 961 Sport, whose chassis rewards smooth inputs, this technique is particularly useful in long, fast corners. The ZXC ceramic racing pad gives a precise response to light pedal pressure, so the rider can use it with confidence. Rear brake use during trail braking also helps keep the chassis stable as the front brake is released. Practise these techniques in a controlled environment, with warm tyres and brakes. After each session, check the pads and make sure the caliper releases fully, as a dragging rear brake can overheat the disc. Discuss the technique with a coach or an experienced racer before trying it at speed, because the right amount of pressure is small and differs from rider to rider. Use the practice sessions to find out how the bike responds, then note the feeling for the race. A rear pad that stays consistent from session to session makes this learning process much easier, since the rider can trust that the same pedal pressure will produce the same effect every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rear of the Commando 961 Sport takes AGPA42 according to Accossato's list for 2018 and 2019, and the front takes AGPA177. The rear plate is also made in Sintered (ST) for everyday road use.
