Galfer Floating Wave Rotor

The floating design uses pins to create a thermal break between the braking surface and the inner carrier. This allows the rotor to expand and contract independently as it heats up, which significantly reduces the risk of warping and ensures consistent braking performance during long, aggressive descents.

Yes, this rotor is designed for standard 6-bolt international mounting, making it compatible with most standard mountain bike hubs. Just ensure your frame or fork can accommodate the 203mm diameter before installing.

At 2.0mm, this rotor is slightly thicker than many standard rotors, which typically measure around 1.8mm. This extra material adds stiffness and heat capacity, making it a great choice for riders who prioritize durability and fade resistance.

While floating rotors have a slightly different construction than solid one-piece rotors, they are designed to be secure and quiet. You should not experience any rattling under normal riding conditions, though it is good practice to check the pins periodically for any signs of wear.

Yes, this rotor is compatible with all common brake pad compounds, including organic, semi-metallic, and sintered metallic pads. However, always bed in your pads properly whenever you install a new rotor to ensure optimal stopping power.
