Accossato: from racing motorcycles to their components

Accossato was founded in 1969 in Moncalieri, Italy, by Giovanni Accossato. Its early years were linked to motorcycle manufacturing and racing. Over time, that experience informed the development of components and operating systems for other manufacturers and the replacement parts market.

The brand expanded its controls division during the 1990s with steel and aluminium handlebars, and in 2007 presented a catalogue bringing together handlebars, folding levers and throttle controls. This evolution explains a specialism connecting the riding position with brake and clutch operation. The range you can explore at Motarea comprises levers, brake master cylinders and handlebars, three families best browsed separately.

Accossato brake and clutch levers

Accossato brake and clutch levers help you find replacement parts for different functions and applications. First identify the control you need, then check its reference, geometry and mounting system. A brake lever and a clutch lever do not necessarily form a suitable pair for the same motorcycle.

The pivot bore, contact point, interface with the master cylinder or cable end, and travel are all selection criteria. Finishes, adjustments and folding mechanisms vary between references and should not be assumed across the entire range.

Brake master cylinders and hydraulic operation

The Accossato brake master cylinder family includes references from the radial PRS line. The master cylinder and lever work together but are separate components. To choose a complete unit, check its hydraulic configuration, mountings, connections and the items listed in its product details.

Also check its match with the caliper and the rest of the installed circuit. A master cylinder cannot be selected solely by appearance, advertised diameter or brand: the reference's specifications and instructions must correspond to the intended application.

Handlebars to complete the riding position

Accossato handlebars complete the controls range. Clamp diameter, geometry and usable space for the controls affect installation. Check the existing risers and accessories, as well as the riding position you need.

Before combining handlebars, levers and a master cylinder, check the complete assembly: mountings, clearances, travel and connections must allow correct operation. Consult each component's documentation and your motorcycle's application to make a coherent selection, whether replacing one part or renewing several elements of the riding position.
