Hope Floating Rotor

The floating design allows the stainless steel braking surface to expand and contract independently from the aluminum center as it heats up. This prevents the rotor from warping under heavy braking loads, ensuring consistent performance and a straighter disc over time.

The aluminum center acts as a heat sink, drawing heat away from the braking surface more efficiently than a solid steel disc. This helps keep your brake system temperatures lower during long descents, reducing the risk of brake fade.

Yes, this rotor is designed specifically for 6-bolt mounting systems. Please ensure your hub is compatible with a 220mm rotor size before installation, as your frame or fork must have the necessary clearance and adapter support.

Actually, it is quite the opposite. The CNC-machined aluminum center allows for a lighter overall weight while maintaining the stiffness and durability typically found in much thicker, heavier fixed rotors.

This refers to the specific way the braking surface is attached to the center, allowing it to expand and move slightly as it heats up. This mechanical freedom is what prevents the rotor from warping or binding when it gets hot.
