Generic MTB Mountain Bike Disc Brake Rotor

Features

•  Usually made from high-strength materials like stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and aluminum. This provides durability and resistance to corrosion.
• Often features a vented or slotted design to help with heat dissipation and reduce weight.
• Common sizes range from 160mm to 203mm. Larger rotors offer increased braking power and heat management, while smaller rotors are lighter and often found on bikes with less aggressive riding styles.
• Typically around 1.8mm to 2mm thick, ensuring a balance between strength and weight.
•  Compatible with various mounting standards, such as 6-bolt and Center Lock. The 6-bolt pattern is common and uses six screws to attach the rotor to the hub, while CenterLock uses a central locking.
• Designed to work with specific brake calipers, so it’s important to match the rotor with the caliper used on the bike.
•  Features like cooling fins or vented designs help in managing heat buildup during prolonged braking, reducing the risk of brake fade.
• The braking surface is often serrated or grooved to improve friction and remove debris, enhancing braking performance in various conditions.
• Strikes a balance between durability and weight. Lightweight rotors are preferable for competitive riders or those seeking to minimize bike weight, while sturdier rotors are favored for rugged trails.
• Typically have a polished or brushed finish for aesthetics and improved corrosion resistance. Some rotors may also feature anodized or colored finishes.
•  Designed for straightforward installation and removal. Ensure compatibility with your bike’s hub and brake system.
