Description
Unleash Consistent Stopping Power: Shimano Deore XT RT-MT800 Disc Brake Rotor (180mm)
Conquer demanding trails with unwavering confidence thanks to the Shimano Deore XT RT-MT800 Centerlock Rotor. Engineered for serious mountain bikers tackling steep descents and technical terrain, this rotor delivers exceptional heat management precisely when you need it most.
Beat the Heat on Epic Descents:
* Shimano FREEZA Core: The secret weapon lies within. An aluminum core directly bonded to stainless steel braking surfaces creates a rapid heat transfer path.
* Ice Tech Fins: Strategically designed external aluminum fins dramatically increase surface area, pulling heat away from the critical braking zone faster than standard rotors. Say goodbye to brake fade on those long, grueling downhill sections.
Built for Performance & Simplicity:
* Effortless Centerlock Installation: Get set up quickly and securely using the spline interface and lock ring – a favorite for its reliability and ease among trail and enduro riders.
* Universal Pad Compatibility: Works flawlessly with both resin (organic) and metal (sintered) brake pad compounds, letting you choose based on riding style and conditions – perfect for all-weather riding.
* Optimized Two-Piece Design: Reduces overall weight (just 131g) while enhancing heat dissipation compared to bulkier one-piece alternatives.
Ideal For:
* Aggressive trail riding & enduro racing
* Riders seeking maximum braking consistency on long descents
* Cyclists prioritizing fade-free performance in variable conditions
* Bikes equipped with Centerlock hubs
