This rotor features a fully floating design that minimizes stress on the fixing pin through its innovative Direct Drive system, where the two parts are intricately “dove-tailed” together. The aluminium center enhances heat dissipation, ensuring consistent braking power even during extended descents on both road and off-road terrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to overcome common issues like pulsating and poor lateral stiffness found in many lightweight rotors, the RWD Light Rotor is perfectly suited for mountain bikes and road bikes alike. Its construction balances durability with reduced weight, delivering confident stopping power without compromising on bike handling or speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the rotor are 12 T25 torx head mounting bolts made from 10B21 Boron steel, offering a safer and stronger alternative to anodized alloy bolts. This attention to detail guarantees secure rotor installation and long-lasting reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding consistent braking performance on long descents by effectively dissipating heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing rotor weight while maintaining stiffness to prevent pulsation during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing both mountain bike and road bike braking efficiency with a versatile design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffering secure and durable mounting with high-quality Boron steel bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with brake systems incompatible with floating rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring rotors larger than 160mm in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking rotors specifically optimized for extreme downhill or heavy cargo bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the RWD Light Rotor compatible with all disc brake systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is compatible with most standard disc brake systems, but it’s important to verify compatibility with your specific brake caliper and frame before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the floating design benefit braking performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe floating rotor design reduces stress on the fixing pin and allows better heat transfer, resulting in more consistent and reliable braking, especially during prolonged use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritchey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45477714460847,"sku":"RWD-LDR16S","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1617363276-23212600.jpg?v=1768515916","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/rwd-light-rotor-160mm-floating-disc-brake-rotor-with-boron-steel-bolts","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
