Hello, this is Sharinkan Kumamoto Airport Store! This is Sharinkan Kumamoto Airport Branch!
Disc brakes have become completely mainstream on road bikes in recent years. To get the most out of them, the choice of brake rotors is very important. In this issue, we will introduce two types of high-performance rotors that are popular in our store, as well as some useful accessories that you should know about!
1. well-balanced cooling performance and weight reduction: SHIMANO RT-CL900
The SHIMANO RT-CL900, bearing the name "Dura-Ace," is truly the pinnacle of Shimano's disc brake rotor technology.
feature
- Excellent heat dissipation: Shimano's unique "ICE TECHNOLOGIES FREEZA" structure is adopted: the three-layer structure (stainless steel - aluminum - stainless steel) efficiently dissipates heat and prevents performance degradation even under prolonged braking. The aluminum fins and laminated structure maintain stable braking power even under high temperatures.
- Lightweight The new design is designed to be thoroughly lightweight, while maintaining excellent heat dissipation. This minimizes the overall weight gain of the bike, which is an advantage when hill climbing.
- Size: 160mm (114g) 140mm (96g)
- Price11,676 yen (tax included)
Recommended for the following riders
- To pursue lightweighting for hill climbing, etc.
- Focus on cost performance
2. stylish design and high performance: DEDA DISC BRAKE ROTOR
The DISC BRAKE ROTOR from the Italian brand DEDAELEMENTI has attracted attention for its sophisticated design and solid performance.
feature
- High control performanceFEM analysis was used to find the most efficient shape that minimizes weight while ensuring maximum braking performance.
- Resistant to thermal deformationThe floating structure of the outer disc and spider, held together by floating rivets and conical spring washers, absorbs thermal expansion of the brake track due to temperature rise during braking and suppresses excessive deformation. This optimizes contact between the pad and disc and ensures stable braking force at all times. In addition, the spider section is made of 7075 aluminum to improve heat dissipation.
- Size160mm (130g) 140mm (110g)
- Price: $0.00 14,190 Yen (tax included)
Recommended for the following riders
- I want to be particular about the design.
- Interference noise after hard braking...
It will be an attractive option for riders seeking both performance and design.
Reliability used by professional teams: TRIPEAK Brake Rotor Lock Ring
Last but not least, we have the essential locking ring for securing disc brake rotors: the TRIPEAK center locking brake rotor locking ring, which is also used by the Lidl-TREK Team, is very reliable.
feature
- High-precision manufacturing:. This is not just a simple lock ring, but AL6061, to which silicon (silicon) has been added to aluminum, is forged to increase its strength, and then machined.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.
- Wide variety of colors A wide variety of colors to match the color of the car body is also attractive.
- Price2,970 yen (tax included)
Upgrade Points
Replacing the factory lock ring with TRIPEAK's will provide a more secure fixation and dress-up effect. This accessory is recommended for riders who want to pay attention to every detail.
summary
In this issue, we introduced the SHIMANO RT-CL900, DEDA DISC BRAKE ROTOR, and TRIPEAK brake rotor lock ring.
- For light weight and stable braking power: SHIMANO RT-CL900
- For reliable braking performance under extreme conditions: DEDA DISC BRAKE ROTOR
- For secure fastening and dressing up: TRIPEAK Brake Rotor Lock Ring
Enjoy a more comfortable and safer cycle life by selecting the most suitable disc brake rotors and accessories to match your riding style and bike concept!
