Ice Tech Brake Rotor, Silver, 160mm

I have a heavy E-bike (Tesway X7-Pro), and I also tow a cargo trailer with it. So I decided it would be a good idea to upgrade the stock 180mm rotors with 203mm rotors. I got this rotor, the XT SM-RT86 for the back rotor of my bike, and it fits perfectly and looks GREAT. I went with the XTR version of this for the front rotor. (Honestly, you can hardly tell the difference). Of course, I had to replace the front and rear caliper brackets with 203-mm capable units, which added a bit of cost, but not much (around $20 for both). In all, I'm super happy with this rotor slowing down the back half of my bike. It's definite improvement over the 180's, even on 2-piston calipers. And combined with the XTR on the front wheel, the braking performance has GREATLY improved. 5 stars.

Purchased a pair of these to put on a second wheelset for my Cannondale Quick CX 1. They're a different model than the discs on the original wheelset but they worked perfectly. Definitely worth having them so I don't have to swap the discs every time I swap the wheels.

Decided to upgrade my MTB & decided the brake systems was a good place to start. I upgraded from V-brakes to discs. I purchased a pair of 180mm SHIMANO XT SM-RT86 Rotors, pair of Shimano M375 calipers, a Shimano SM-MA90 post to post adapter (front), a Shimano SM-MA-R180 IS to post adapter (rear) & new cables. This setup works awesome, strong breaking, even when wet (much better than wet V-brakes). These SHIMANO XT SM-RT86 Rotors did not come in the Shimano packaging, nor did they come w/any installation instructions. They did come w/mounting bolts (w/pre applied thread locker & tightening plates (see pic). From what I can tell from the branding, fit & finish, I believe these are OEM parts. I am fine w/that, it saves me money w/out sacrificing quality, especially w/something as important as stopping. According to Shimano’s website, the weights for their XT SM-RT86 rotors are as follows: 160mm-131g | 180mm-152g | 203mm-187g. The lighter weight is due to an aluminum core sandwiched between steel. This is also supposed to allow for quicker heat dissipation. What I know is that they work really well. If you’re in the market for disc rotors & your hubs are 6-bolt not center mount, I can confidently recommend Shimano CT SM-RT86 rotors. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your brakes to disc brakes, I’d say do it. Discs stop much better than V-brakes, they look great & if your thinking about upgrading your fork in the future, you’ll definitely have more options to choose from w/disc brakes than w/V-brakes. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope you found it helpful.

Great stopping power. Very easy install. Fit is something you need to think of now. If your bike came with 180mm rotors you need a +23 mm post mount adapter. If your ride came with 160mm you need 43 mm post mount adapter. Also some frames can’t accommodate this rotor size so check your frame specs for max rear rotor size info. I Hope this helps someone and I’m not just mansplaining basic stuff to bike tech nerds.

This review is a comparison and solution for those in need of an upgrade. I upgraded from Cannondale Helix 6 hydraulic brakes on my 2014 Trail 4, which were cheap junk. After 4 months of having a brand new bike, I was having a lot of brake noise and violent frame vibration at all speeds. With my new bike still being under warranty, my LBS tried a few things like caliper alignment, fluid bleeding, and new Jaguire brake pads, but I got tired of the noise coming back and no results so I ordered these Ice Tech rotors and installed them myself. I also replaced the whole system with XT M-785 levers and calipers. These work in perfect harmony and stay cool, but most importantly they are smooth and quiet. The aluminum center bracket on these keeps the heat moving out the rotors and is supposed to help brake fade from excessive heat. If you have noisy brakes on your bike, consider this as a permanent fix. These have made me love my bike again!

I have a decent size e-bike and I like Shimano I used to use it on my specialized in these discs are rated for any bike so far I've used it and haven't had any issues and it hasn't worked on me and I have like my front one uses more break I think I got the design there's two designs but either way this was a legit purchase to change for my brakes and I will definitely use again I have the 180 mm

Shimano Deore / SLX / XT complete sets are only $60-90 for the front or rear, and these Ice Tech Rotors are $40 each. So if you don't have that level of caliper, why not just buy the better caliper and stick with 160mm? You could, of course. But for longer, steeper decents, these Ice Tech Rotors have a more consistent feel that doesn't fade. I have a 56 lb e-bike and these do help, I can feel the difference. That's why I got them. But on my normal 33-lb bike there is really no need, I'm doing XC trails and usually don't go more than 20 mph downhill. I'll switch over to these eventually on my main bike but it's going to take many thousands of miles to wear out all of my 160mm rotors lol.

Corresponde a lo ofertado

Rotors and everything are great and are what is described, however the seller has decided to ship the rotors in only the little plastic bag within the actual rotor box, rather than leave them inside the Shimano box it originally came in. I presume it is to save shipping costs, however, it puts them at risk of warping to try not to put too much pressure on them while opening.

Super bon disc shimano

All likes, no dislike...👍Original, very fast delivery.

I have replaced 160mm with this adding adapter from centerlock to 6-bolt and it works great and silently. When I tried 203mm centerlock directly - it was noisy.

Excelente. Un 10
