Tech Insight

The 13.5 vented rotors generate increased braking torque for the same pedal input, translating into shorter stopping distances. Meanwhile, the lightweight 6061 aluminum rotor hats cut unsprung weight, improving suspension response and wheel control — helping your shocks perform at their best and keeping traction consistent over uneven terrain.

This isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a system built for maximum performance, minimal weight, and total reliability.
