SRAM Paceline X

The Paceline X is designed for use with standard disc brake systems. However, you must ensure your wheelset is compatible with the Center Lock mounting standard, as this rotor does not use the six-bolt mounting pattern.

The two-piece design separates the braking surface from the carrier, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during long descents. This construction also allows for a lighter overall weight without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for consistent stopping power.

Yes, the Paceline X is specifically engineered for quiet operation. While brake noise can sometimes be caused by pad contamination or alignment issues, the refined braking track on this model is designed to minimize vibration and noise during engagement.

The Paceline X is compatible with most standard disc brake pads. For the best performance and longevity, we recommend ensuring your pads are properly bedded in when you first install the new rotors.

A 160mm rotor is the standard size for most road and gravel applications, offering a balanced ratio of weight to stopping power. If you are a heavier rider or frequently ride steep, technical descents, you might consider if your frame and fork allow for a larger rotor size for increased leverage.
