SLX RT68 Ice-Tech Centre Lock Disc Rotor

Like the SM-RT81, the SM-RT68 Ice-Tech rotors (160, 180 and 203mm) have a sandwich structure of an aluminum core embedded in 2 stainless steel layers. The higher heat dissipation of the aluminum helps to reduce the surface temperature of the rotor by around 100 degrees Celsius. Optional Ice-Tech brake pads with aluminum cooling fins can reduce the brake pad surface temperature by another 50 degrees. The result is high stopping power and practically no signs of fading! Centerlock Disc not compatible with IS2000 disc rotor mount (6 hole system). The 180/203mm disc requires a special adapter. Please do not exceed the disc specifications of your fork/frame.

Features:

• SM-RT68 Ice Tech rotors give excellent performance using the proven Shimano Centre-Lock system providing excellent rigidity and security with an easy set-up
• The clad steel/alloy/steel rotor construction allows heat generated from braking to radiate quickly through the aluminium core achieving surface temperature drops of around 50 deg C. When used with Ice Tech pads surface temperatures can drop from around 400 to 300 deg C, this provides great improvements in performance all round
• Ice Tech rotors achieve long pad life, less noise and less fade due to improved heat dispersion
• Rotor contact surface has been developed for excellent pad clearing and cooling which increases pad performance and life
• Comes complete with lockring

Specifications:

• Weight: approx. 175g (180mm without lockring, approx. 190g with lockring)
• Disc: Center Lock
