Product Condition: Brand New in Original Retail Package Product Description: Functionally, XT SM-RT86 Disc Brake Rotors stop equally in comparison to Shimano's apex XTR line. That's because of Ice Tech, a shared technology on both models. The difference between the two lies in a slightly lighter XTR spider that's reserved for gram-obsessed racers. In reality, most of us aren't going to feel the benefits of a few grams lost when they're so centrally located to the hub. However, what we are going to profit from is the three-piece Ice Tech Rotor. It is essentially two pieces of steel optimized for friction sandwiched over an aluminum core. This means Shimano is utilizing the high thermal conductivity of aluminum, where other manufacturers solely use steel throughout the braking surface.

About this product

Product Information

Avid bike riders know how braking effects can fade on a long descent. Overheating of brake pads can cause damage to the brakes, a swelling of the material in places causing inconsistent contact, and change at the molecular level of the pad material causing “chatter.” A braking rotor is available to combat the effects of heat in brakes. The SM-RT86 rotor employs an aluminum core that effectively transfers heat buildup away from the brakes. A finned-heat sink feature completes the effect to provide reliable and consistent braking power.

    a little beefier

    This rotor is alittle beefier than avid or hopes offering for the cooling type floating type rotors which always seem to been and rub on calipers almost impossible to fix even with the proper tool so the little bit of extra weight is worth the free flowing wheel

  • This product sucks...heat away!

    I have been impressed with the heat dissipation of these rotors. They last me about 2 years before wearing through to the aluminum core. You can find lighter rotors, but these really work well with good modulation (assuming Shimano calipers), quiet and great heat control, all with the standard Shimano pad compound.

  • Very high quality

    This rotor is used on my rear wheel of my full suspension mountain bike. Works like a champ. I have XT hydraulic brakes. I bought two of these as I made a sweet upgrade on my wheels to the Tubeless Crank Brothers wheelset. Yup, I now have a very sweet setup.

  • Ice Tec rotor

    I’m super happy that I purchased this. Got it for a good price works very well the only reason I replaced my old one was because I wore it out. And that took years.

  • Two long rides so far......

  • Great looks bang for the buck

    Initially I didn't buy this rotors for any performance benefits I had bought them for esthetics before my goodness don't these rotors look good. But after riding I noticed a better brake feel on long descends but again these rotors just add quite a look to you bike
