CNC Racing GP Air Ducts Evo Carbon Brake Caliper Cooling – Ducati Panigale 899 (2013–2016) ZA750Y

When braking performance is a matter of safety, thermal management becomes non-negotiable. The CNC Racing GP Air Ducts Evo delivers precisely targeted fresh-air cooling to the front brake calipers of the Ducati Panigale 899, decisively reducing temperature peaks and eliminating brake fade under the hardest repeated stops — whether you are pushing through a track day or carving a demanding mountain road.

Key Features

• Autoclave-cured carbon fibre ducts with Kevlar reinforcement — ultra-light, rigid, and capable of withstanding sustained high-heat exposure without deformation
• Channels cool air directly onto the front brake calipers, stabilising operating temperatures and maintaining a consistent, confident brake pedal feel lap after lap
• Dramatically reduces the risk of brake fade, vapour lock, and pad glazing during repeated heavy braking
• CNC-machined, anodised aluminium brackets finished in your choice of black, gold, or red to complement the Panigale's aggressive lines
• Plug-and-play fitment — no drilling, no fabrication, no permanent modifications required
• Exposed plain-weave carbon finish available in gloss or matte, adding a purposeful racing aesthetic that is entirely functional

Engineering and Build Quality

Each duct is laid up in a plain-weave carbon and Kevlar composite and cured in an autoclave under controlled temperature and pressure — the same manufacturing process used for genuine motorsport components. The result is a part that is both stiffer and lighter than any equivalent fibreglass or injection-moulded alternative, with the heat resistance needed to operate reliably next to calipers that can reach extreme temperatures in race conditions.

The anodised aluminium brackets are machined from billet on CNC equipment, giving them the dimensional accuracy needed for a precise, rattle-free installation. The colour anodising is not cosmetic lacquer — it is an integral surface treatment that resists corrosion, UV fading, and the thermal cycling that destroys painted finishes over time. Available part numbers are ZA750YB (black), ZA750YG (gold), and ZA750YR (red), so you can match or contrast with your existing CNC Racing or aftermarket components.

Safety and Thermal Performance

Unchecked caliper heat is one of the most common causes of degraded braking on hard-ridden road and track motorcycles. As caliper temperature rises, brake fluid approaches its boiling point, pads lose their friction coefficient, and the rider experiences a progressive loss of feel and stopping power. The GP Air Ducts Evo addresses this at source by continuously feeding ambient air to the caliper body throughout every braking event. The outcome is a more stable, linear brake lever feel, a lower and more consistent working temperature range for both pads and fluid, and the safety margin that comes from knowing your brakes will respond identically on the tenth corner of a session as they did on the first.

Fitment and Compatibility

These brake caliper cooling ducts are designed and manufactured specifically for the following model:

• Ducati Panigale 899 — model years 2013 to 2016

The plug-and-play design uses the existing mounting points on the front fork legs. No cutting, drilling, or permanent alteration to the motorcycle is required, and the kit is fully reversible.

What's in the Box

• 2 autoclave-cured carbon/Kevlar cooling ducts (plain weave)
• 2 CNC-machined anodised aluminium brackets (in your chosen colour)
• All mounting hardware
• Ready-to-fit plug-and-play system
