[Lifetime Warranty] 160mm Disc Brake Rotor Stainless Steel Bike Disc Brake Rotor with 6 Bolts - Fit for Road Bike Mountain Bike MTB BMX

160mm Stainless Steel Disc Brake Rotor

Key Features

• High-Strength Stainless Steel:Precision-stamped from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-term durability and consistent stopping power in wet and dry conditions.
• Heat Dissipation Design:Features a specialized cutout pattern that increases surface area and airflow to reduce thermal buildup during prolonged braking.
• Warp Resistance:Engineered with a reinforced structural profile to maintain flatness and prevent rotor rub under high-heat or high-torque applications.
• Standard 6-Bolt Interface:Utilizes a universal mounting configuration for a secure and balanced connection to the wheel hub.
• Lightweight Construction:Optimized material thickness provides a balance between structural integrity and weight reduction for performance-oriented cycling.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• Standard Size:160mm Diameter
• Mounting Standard:International Standard (IS) 6-Bolt
• Bolt Circle Diameter (BCD):44mm

Compatibility & Fitment

• Bike Types:Mountain Bikes (MTB), Road Bikes, BMX, Gravel, and Hybrid bicycles.
• Hub Compatibility:Fits any 6-bolt disc-compatible hub. (Note: Not compatible with Shimano Centerlock hubs without an adapter).
• Brake Pad Compatibility:Optimized for use with resin (organic), semi-metallic, and sintered (metallic) brake pads.
• Caliper Fitment:Compatible with mechanical and hydraulic disc brake calipers designed for 160mm rotors.

When to Replace

• Minimum Thickness:Replace the rotor if it has worn down below the manufacturer's specified minimum thickness (typically 1.5mm for most 160mm rotors).
• Deep Scoring:Visible grooves or deep scratches on the braking surface that reduce pad contact area.
• Warping or Pulsation:If the rotor is bent or causes a "pulsing" sensation in the brake lever during stops.
• Persistent Noise:High-pitched squealing that cannot be resolved with cleaning or new pads, often indicating heat-glazed or contaminated metal.
• Discoloration:Significant blue or dark "burnt" patches, which indicate the rotor has reached critical temperatures and lost its structural tempering.

Installation Tips

• Correct Orientation:Ensure the arrow on the rotor points in the direction of the wheel's forward rotation.
• Star Pattern Tightening:Install the 6 bolts in a "star" sequence (tightening opposite bolts) to ensure even pressure and prevent warping during installation.
• Thread Security:Use the included bolts with pre-applied threadlocker or apply a small drop of medium-strength threadlocker to prevent loosening from vibration.
• Cleanliness:Avoid touching the braking surface with bare hands. After installation, clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol to remove any skin oils or manufacturing residues.
• Bedding-In:After installation, perform several controlled stops from a moderate speed to "bed" the pads to the new rotor surface for maximum stopping efficiency.
