Shimano Deore XT 160mm Disc Brake Rotor – 6-Bolt Silver/Black MTB

Shimano Deore XT SM-RT86 Disc Rotors: Precision Cooling for Demanding Rides

Engineered for trail warriors and competitive cyclists alike, these 160mm rotors combine cutting-edge thermal management with rugged durability. Their unique tri-layer construction sandwiches a lightweight aluminum core between two corrosion-resistant stainless steel plates (0.8mm thickness each), slashing surface temperatures by up to 100°C compared to traditional single-material rotors – critical for maintaining bite during multi-hour rides or steep descents.

Why Cyclists Upgrade
✔️ Heat Dissipation Boost: Aluminum core rapidly transfers heat away from brake pads
✔️ All-Weather Reliability: Stainless steel layers resist rust even in coastal/mountain climates
✔️ Vibration-Free Performance: Precision-machined aluminum spider eliminates chatter at high speeds
✔️ Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Shimano hydraulic systems AND mechanical brakes
