SRAM Centerline x Disc Brake Rotor / 160mm

SRAM has updated their CenterLine X Rotor to be the better lighter choice when using SRAM disc brakes as your stoppers. The CenterLine X mixes metals to get to where they want to be. the brake track is steel while the carrier is aluminum alloy. This reduces all-important rotating weight while still keeping performance high. The cutouts in the brake track prevent grit and grime from reducing brake performance and the air also does a bit in terms of limiting heat build-up. The aluminum center also helps a bit with controlling heat. The rotors edges are rounded a concession to UCI concerns for riding safety. In terms of braking performance it has no effect whatsoever. In terms of wheel changes it should make it slightly easier. The SRAM CenterLine X Rotor comes in six-bolt and CenterLock mounting styles. The 140mm rotor weighs 86g the 160mm rotor 102g the 180mm rotor 125g.
