SM-RT64 Rotor - Centerlock

The Center Lock system allows for quicker and easier installation and removal of the rotor. With a spline design and a central lock ring, you can change out rotors without needing multiple bolts, making maintenance more efficient and hassle-free.

Disc brake rotors are crucial for effective braking. They create friction when the brake pads squeeze against them, slowing down or stopping the wheel. The quality and design of the rotor can significantly impact your bike's braking performance, especially in varying riding conditions like wet or muddy trails.

Hydraulic disc brakes provide more consistent and powerful braking performance. They use fluid to transfer force from the brake lever to the brake pads, resulting in smoother and more responsive braking. This is especially beneficial in demanding riding situations where precise control is needed.

If you primarily ride in dry conditions and prefer quieter operation, resin pads are a great choice. However, if you often ride in wet or muddy environments, metal pads offer better durability and performance. Your choice will affect both braking performance and the longevity of your pads.

Yes, the SM-RT64 disc brake rotors are designed to meet the demands of both cross-country and trail biking. They provide reliable braking performance across varied terrains, ensuring you can confidently tackle climbs, descents, and obstacles.

To determine compatibility, check your bike's hub specifications. If your hub has a Center Lock interface, it will have a central spline and a lock ring. If you're unsure, consult your bike's manual or a local bike shop for assistance in confirming compatibility.
