SRAM HS2 Disc Brake Rotor

Most standard rotors are 1.8mm thick. The extra 0.2mm on the HS2 increases the rotor's structural rigidity and thermal mass, which helps it resist warping under intense heat and provides a more consistent feel at the lever during long descents.

Yes, it helps the rotor shed heat faster than a standard bare-metal rotor. This is particularly noticeable on long, sustained descents where brake fade can become an issue, allowing the system to maintain more consistent stopping power.

The HS2 is designed to work with all brake pad compounds, including both organic and metallic. You can confidently pair it with whatever pads you currently prefer for your riding style.

No, this specific version uses a Center-Lock mounting interface. If your hubs are currently set up for 6-bolt rotors, you would need a Center-Lock adapter or a different rotor version to make it compatible.

While the rotor is thicker, it is designed to fit within the standard tolerances of most modern mountain bike hydraulic disc brake calipers. However, you may need to perform a fresh caliper alignment or reset your pistons when installing the new rotor to ensure there is no rubbing.
