Yes, this product includes only the brake caliper and the pre-installed pads. You will need to purchase a compatible brake rotor separately.

Metallic pads are included because they offer superior durability and consistent performance in wet or muddy conditions compared to resin pads. They are ideal for aggressive riding where heat management is a priority.
