Shimano RT Ice Tech High Performance Brake Rotor (180mm)

ICE TECHNOLOGY Rotor
Clad rotors significantly reduce heat build-up in the brake system. This in turn reduces fading, which ensures consistently high performance even on long downhill stretches, It also results in a longer pad life and substantially quieter braking.

The fade, which can occur to the disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride, for instance, has a negative impact on the braking performance. SHIMANO has adopted ICE TECHNOLOGIES disc brake rotor and ICE TECHNOLOGIES pad to realize the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade, and lightweight.
