HOPE RX Center Lock disc rotor

The Hope RX disc brake rotor is a floating rotor for gravel and road. Its 410 stainless steel braking surface is riveted to a CNC-machined aluminium centre: when the braking surface heats up and expands, it plays a degree on its rivets instead of straining the centre. The rotor stays true and lever throw does not change.

Key Points

Stays true when hot: on a long gravel descent, one braking zone follows another and the braking surface heats up. It works freely on its centre, without warping or rubbing the pads.

Fitted with your cassette tool: Center Lock mounting, a single splined lockring to tighten. You swap the rotor with the tool you already have for your cassette. Lockring not included.

Machined edge for the road: the outer edge is softened, which makes wheel changes easier and stops the rotor catching as you slide the wheel in.

Light where it counts: 104 g in 140 mm, 127.5 g in 160. Less rotating mass, the wheel spins up harder.

Compatibility

Center Lock mounting: the rotor fits a Center Lock hub and is tightened with the splined lockring. In 140 or 160 mm, the two sizes for gravel and road. The larger the rotor, the harder it brakes, provided you ride fast enough to bring it up to temperature.

One thing to check before ordering: the rivet heads sit 1 mm above the braking surface, which makes 2.8 mm of thickness where the rivets pass. Check clearance between the rotor, the caliper, the fork and the frame. This rotor is not compatible with Hope V2 and Trial calipers. Any questions? Write to us.
