Shimano STEPS RT-EM600-M eBike Brake Rotor with Integrated Speed Sensor – 180mm Center Lock Silver

The Shimano STEPS RT-EM600 Disc Brake Rotor is engineered specifically for eMTB riders seeking reliable stopping power on demanding mountain bike routes. Designed to integrate with Shimano’s speed sensor technology, this rotor ensures consistent performance even during prolonged high-speed descents or technical terrain where heat buildup is critical. Its advanced Ice Technology coating actively dissipates heat from the braking system, maintaining optimal grip and control on steep trails where other rotors might fade under pressure.

For seamless setup and maintenance, the Center Lock mounting system allows rapid rotor swaps without sacrificing alignment precision—a key advantage over traditional 6-bolt designs. Tailored exclusively for rear wheel use, it features an integrated magnet bracket that aligns perfectly with Shimano’s sensor-equipped e-bike setups, eliminating compatibility gaps common in aftermarket parts. This rotor is optimized for narrow-type brake pads only, ensuring precise engagement and reducing pad wear compared to broader pad designs.

Whether you’re conquering rocky singletracks or navigating tight switchbacks at high speeds, the RT-EM600 combines durability with cutting-edge thermal management to enhance safety and confidence. It’s designed as a direct upgrade for riders using Shimano M6000/MT520/MT420 brake kits, providing a direct bolt-on solution that integrates effortlessly into existing setups while outperforming generic rotors in harsh conditions.
