Hope Floating Disc Brake Rotor

The floating design uses a stainless steel braking surface riveted to an aluminum carrier, which allows the rotor to expand and contract independently as it heats up. This prevents the rotor from warping under heavy braking and helps maintain alignment, which reduces drag and keeps your stopping power consistent.

This rotor features a wider braking surface designed to be compatible with a broad range of brake systems. However, you should always verify that your specific brake caliper has enough clearance for a 1.8mm thick rotor and that your hub is compatible with a 6-bolt mounting standard.

The rotor uses a standard 6-bolt mounting system. You will need a T25 Torx wrench to tighten the included bolts to your hub.

Yes, the drilled pattern increases the surface area exposed to airflow, which helps dissipate heat more efficiently during long descents. Combined with the aluminum carrier that acts as a heat sink, this design is significantly better at managing thermal buildup than a solid steel rotor.

Absolutely. The two-piece construction is specifically engineered for high-heat scenarios, making it an excellent upgrade for riders who frequently tackle steep, demanding trails where consistent braking performance is critical.
