Description
Shimano XTR RT-MT900 Disc Brake Rotor: Uncompromising Trail Control
Engineered for relentless trail performance, this 160mm rotor combines Ice Tech FREEZA thermal management with military-grade durability. Perfect for gravity-focused riders tackling alpine descents or technical enduro stages where brake fade spells disaster.
Key Advantages:
✓ 40% faster heat dissipation vs standard rotors – maintain stopping power through 10+ consecutive downhill runs
✓ Dual-compound pad compatibility – seamlessly switch between aggressive metal pads for wet rocks or low-noise resin pads for dry fire roads
✓ Vibration-resistant lockring – stays securely mounted even after 500km+ of rough singletrack
✓ Weight-optimized alloy core – 220g balance of strength-to-weight ratio unmatched in XC/AM categories
Why This Rotor Stands Out:
| Specification | XTR MT900 | Standard Rotor | Budget Alternative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Resistance | -50°C to +450°C | -30°C to +400°C | +350°C max |
| Pad Flexibility | Metal/Organic | Metal only | Organic only |
| Lockring Durability | Titanium-reinforced | Basic steel | Plastic insert |
| Weight Savings* | 18% lighter | N/A | +25% heavier |
*Based on comparison with SRAM CenterLock rotors
Ideal for:
– Enduro racers needing consistent braking across elevation changes
– Adventure cyclists tackling multi-terrain routes
– Mechanics seeking plug-and-play compatibility with existing CenterLock hubs
The anodized surface resists blueing from repeated hard braking on loose volcanic terrain or salty coastal routes. Includes Shimano’s proprietary alloy lockring (not sold separately by competitors) to prevent rotational slippage during prolonged descents on wet root networks or loose scree fields.
Proven in World Cup circuits since 2022, this rotor maintains >90% initial stopping power after 200km of continuous use – outperforming leading competitors by 35% in third-party heat cycle tests.
