Hope Floating Disc Brake Rotor
Best premium upgrade for riders seeking heat management and custom aesthetics.
This two-piece rotor is the gold standard for riders who punish their brakes on long, technical descents. By allowing the steel surface to expand independently from the carrier, it eliminates warping and drag. You trade a bit of complexity for consistent, fade-free stopping power that stays true under heat.
